Old people’s vote is vastly more difficult to suppress. Old people go vote, the youth though? Just tell them shits fucked and their vote doesnt matter and they eagerly give up and sit home.
I agree with the article that the phrase has nothing to do with race. Also, blackness in the idiom doesn’t connote shame or badness and it’s ok to use it.
I’m struggling to think of a situation where I’d say that to a black woman but I can see how in hindsight it wouldn’t be the best turn of phrase. Obviously we should be aware of what we’re saying to an audience, but at face value it’s not a racist phrase and the lady was wrong to shame you for it.
Get a grip, talk to a therapist or trusted friend. It’s OK to not be plugged in 24/7. “If it bleeds it leads” is true and being inundated with horror constantly absolutely wears you down.
I’ve been wondering for a bit why during the time the Democrats controlled the legislature, executive, and judicial branches during Obama’s first term in 2008 more wasn’t accomplished. Shouldn’t that have been the opportunity to make Row V Way law and fix the electoral college? I understand the recession was going on but...
Turd Blossom is an evil little pigman but he’s not stupid and he’s not wrong. There’s too much discussion and not enough action from the left side of the aisle.
They’re speaking about their experience and you just completely dismissed it as “women don’t do things like that, the wrong type of women do.”
I recall a man/bear hypothetical being posted recently and any man that said “not all men” was shouted down and called a misogynistic rape apologist or worse.
When someone speaks about their lived experiences it’s best to just listen and acknowledge, not try to defend shitty people.
Chinese police hunting international corruption targets were allowed into Australia by the federal police and subsequently escorted a woman back to China for trial, in a major breach of Chinese-Australian police protocols....
I have no issue with Asian people. It’s the prison system that’s the issue, but you know that and just want to cry racist because claiming the Chinese prison system is preferable is laughable at best, nice try tankie.
I’m the only one that’s posted any links to any data or “observational evidence” (tips fedora lol neckbeard). All you’ve done is vaguely hint at Chinese prisons being preferable to Aussie ones.
I’ve never really gotten to see one of you in the wild.
Posting publicly on the internet means people can respond to you.
Responding to a relatively well-formed statement and rationalized statement with a 1 sentence meme-response is lazy and braindead and contributes nothing but go off if it makes you feel like you’re doing something I guess. Certainly easier than actually engaging with a topic.

Why Didn't Democrats Do More When They Controlled Both Houses of Legislature, The White House, and The Supreme Court During Obama's First Term?
