    Listen, as a brown person in America, just be honest.

    You caea about the genocide of brown people elsewhere, just not here.

    It’s OK, the vote is over, you don’t have to deny it anymore, we get it, it’s not like we’re surprised or anything, it’s basically America’s legacy.

    The shocking part?

    We thought you at least cared about women, but you’re literally no better than the racist sexist fascist neoconfederates that are proud to vote Trump.

    Just be honest with your words, your actions already spoke the truth.

      You realize the person you replied to already said they voted D…

      Right?

      But even if they didn’t explicitly state it, the ones who didn’t hold their nose aren’t going to be hanging out on political forums.

      Why would they?

      They’re politically disengaged because “both parties are the same”.

      The way to get them involved is moving the party to the left, not the right like we have been. It’s always a great time to start, and the job is never over.

      The billionaires won’t stop buying off both parties, we gotta try to save at least one party.

      What was Biden doing to stop the killing in his own country?

      You’ve got states lawlessly executing innocent men. You’ve got women bleeding out on hospital floors because doctors don’t want to be convicted of doing an illegal abortion. Over a million COVID deaths and counting. The rollback of post-COVID economic relief combined with the spike in inflation has driven up national poverty and thrown thousands more Americans out on the street despite millions of vacant units. Storms are killing Americans. Power failures are killing Americans. Lack of pharmaceuticals are killing Americans. Police violence. Vigilantism. The oppressive heat.

      Biden’s been in charge though it all.

      Just be honest with your words, your actions already spoke the truth.

      Right back atcha.

        Ignorant moron.

        https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/fbi-civil-rights-investigation-nc-police-shooting-1.6004160

        There are hundreds of these investigations, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek_Chauvin was in 2021

        Seriously, as a brown person, shut the fucking fuck up! You have no idea what living in this country under republicans is like, you can’t begin to imagine it and you need to take your privileged dick out of your overprivileged ass and realize what many of us are going to have to face now.

        Literally have the KKK reforming in anticipation of his inauguration, it’s “good people on both sides” all over again.

          Tell it to Eric Adams, a man who took office under the Democratic flag and threw our people directly under the bus. Tell it to Lori Lightfoot, London Breed, John Whitmire - it seems like every Dem mayor has made it open season on the homeless and the vulnerable.

          But you don’t want to see this, because you think politics is a spectator sport.

          Literally have the KKK reforming in anticipation of his inauguration,

          With the blessing of every law enforcement agency in the country, it seems.

          Blue Lives Dems don’t seem to mind.

            I could not dream of better evidence of a Lemming being a troll than replying to someone saying they’re scared for their life under the current political administration with “you think politics is a spectator sport”.

              UnderpantsWeevil has joked about how the likely extra deaths for even palestinians under trump are not worth considering. He’s 100% just here for some sort of weird argument fetish thing.

            Dude you have problems.

            Trump literally told the proud boys to stand by, called neo-nazis “good people” and I just don’t even get where you’re going.

            Politics isn’t a sport, and the fuckers who didn’t vote deserve the blame because people will be hurt.

            You’re the one who seems to be trying to make it a game.

      … My actions of voting Harris? My actions of working to get others to vote?

      It’s time to build a real alternative to America’s legacy of settler-colonialism, starting at a local level.
