Its more than just Atlanta. And despite Atlanta being the only majority black city (and maybe metro area?) in the country, Georgia was still solid red. So, its not just the GOTV campaigns she and other activists ran, it was the stampeding of the massive voter apathy and SUPPRESSION. the GOP has been running the Jim…

No, he didn’t. in 2016 90% of registered Republicans voted Trump. in 2020, it was 93%. Biden won because of people like Stacey Abrams motivated voters who are otherwise completely ignored. Folks who actually have been on the outside their whole lives. White people failed but are going to get all the credit...again.

You can’t help solve their problems unless you understand them.

I’ve seen this chart before and I have a few issues with it.

Ya, hyper partisan media exists specifically to serve those base instincts.

I say it is more likely they have some financial backer like a hardware manufacturer or something. Which means there are a ton of other reasons they can be kicked out of the house and back living with their parents.

As for legislation being “ghostwritten”, duh. What do you think aides and pages do? Or, lobbyists? Look up what…

Like his own words? To a TV crew? The evidence is there. It is a matter of the people in power doing their duty.

Holy shit, I had to look Cloak and Dagger up in IMDB and remembered it. I thought it was some weird dream I had as a kid, but damn. Thanks for unlocking the childhood trauma.

You know, if you were part of a hedge fund that started a media company, you can go raiding popular networks of websites, alienate their fan-base, drive away all of the writers, turn it into just another bland content mill, and then sell off the branding when the company finally dies. Would the headset work for that?

I was wondering what to get my family for Christmas.

And here comes the “free market” argument for...going along with a oppressive communist government.

And LeBron is fond of quoting MLK’s “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere” line. And movements like BLM aren’t about talking to black people. They need white people, ie people who don’t look like them, to stand up and do something.
