This troll regularly gets pulled out; but rest assured they’re grey. I dismiss them almost daily.

Can the Kinja gods ungrey Pangaean? They’re not a troll.

It don’t believe brown people are disposable. I also don’t believe in using them as a shield to perpetuate toxic ideology under the false flag of being an ally. It’s a common tactic in white leftist circles, I’m quite familiar with it. And consistently claiming a leftist ideology, while using every opportunity to…

Or the idea that people in big cities didn’t move there from somewhere else.  Like we’re insulted in some urban bubble and never experienced rural life. Most of us moved to cities from rural areas.

It’s sure as fuck used as one by (a certain contingent of) white leftists as a reason to vote for some stupid shit like Jill Stein every presidential election cycle. It’s still trotted out by the same false allies to justify not compromising their precious morals because she would have been “just as bad” while we have…

“It’s easy for us living in big cities to forget about the rest of the world,” he remarked before he left. “You don’t see it every day.”

Big cities in America are typically its most culturally diverse places. The places where you’re truly exposed to most of the world. It’s truly sad that people with so much wealth use…

It’s his name. It is known.

LOL. What you did there, I see it.

Considering that we’re talking about a virulently misogynist, transphobic, racist, I’m having a hard time drumming up concern.

Oh no! Walmart Liberace will just have to fill it up with overstock on his Rite Aid eye shadow pallets.

Not only is it a terrible metric because it has no tangible attachment to 80% of the population. Even the 20% of American’s actually vested in the stock market through 401k plans (at least last time I checked) aren’t seeing these huge returns.

For example, the overall appreciation rate of my 401k this year was…

I do think that it means that nothing gets done or fixed, though - four years of smoldering rather than full blaze, but in the end we’re not putting out the fires.

That right there is what ensures a Trump victory. The “low attention” voters have been primed for the “both sides are just as bad” narrative/excuse not to…

I don’t count anyone in a blind commentary system as “bonafide” anything.

Meh, I’m not banking on that. If all it took was having a uterus to keep them from voting against the fasch, I doubt they’ll be motivated by the needs of the many. We’ll see though. I can’t wait to see how this season of “America, How Low Can You Go?” ends.

Well sexism definitely played against Hillary too. And yes White male privilege is a thing. I just don’t think it’s going to do him that much good against another white male who has no problem saying the silent parts out loud.

OMG It’s like you have me wiretapped. I sit next to very vocal Trump supporters in their 60’s and their commentary fits this to a T. Chicken hawking bs down to going on and on today about turning up to “do their part” at the recruiting office after 9/11 (when they were in their 40’s) and being “disappointed” to find…

If anything there seems to be this tendency to assume Biden voters are only supporting the man because of some amorphous reason that’s totally less valid than the reasons Warren or Sanders supporters have see: “it’s name recognition” or “Older African-American voters are too scared”, etc 

Me too, but only see them on the Sinclair affiliates. They own two networks in Western WA, and it’s those two that are flooded. 

Hillary was weakened by decades of attacks from the right yes, and Biden still polls lower than she did at this same point. He’s manages to be an even weaker candidate.

Apparently they’re not done.

Not buying what you’re selling. You consistently turn up on any election post on a tear about how Warren and Saunders just aren’t left enough for you because of foreign policy and war, yet you expect people to swallow that you actively knock on doors for the same candidates you drag regularly?
