First they came for my Nazi tats. And I said nothing, because I was not a Nazi.

Let’s talk about our economic sins. Let’s talk about Bangladeshi sweatshop workers. Let’s talk about prison slavery. Let’s talk about factory farms where pigs are born into tiny slots. Let’s talk about how we punish immigrants and let businesses who hire them off scott free. Let’s talk about beating the shit out of…
Okay, are we talking about the present or the past here? Because a minute ago you were asking me to drop something because it was in the past.
I don’t know about anarchism and all that, but american hegemony is verifiably evil. From supporting the open-air prison we call palestine to backing Saudi genocide of Yemeni people, we are up to some evil shit.
We talk about the internment camps because they’re fucking internment camps, man. That is some shit to answer for.
The new deal was good, but FDR put Japanese families in internment camps. There are legit criticisms of the man.
“Good representation” is not centrists, yo. Given a choice between a feckless corporate lib who will sell them out just the same, and the guy who will do the same but give them someone else to blame... Well, fascism has more appeal.
There’s a world of difference between “People are mean to me on twitter” and “People have threatened my life and are driving by my house,” and if you can’t understand why the latter might make someone really fuckin interested in cyber security, then you’re either an idiot or lying to yourself.

They don’t cancel each other out technically, but tempering “black lives matter” with “blue lives matter too,” doesn’t really show me nuance so much as a lack of understanding. As far as sound bites go, I’m not convinced she’s ready to do what has to be donet to fix the problem of police brutality.
I didn't come here for your annoying ass comment, but here we are.
Yes, and the democrats are getting destroyed because theyre full of chucklefucks who dismiss rural voters as “hayseeds” instead of appealing to them as the largely working class voters they are.
Because Democrats have been running to the right for decades and got handed their asses is why.
“Being harassed on the internet”
Ideally, they’re selling a moral vision. The “product” here, when things go well, is a better system of governance.
That is not how Reagan won in the 80s. The guy was arch conservative and well to the right of his forebears. Reagan’s huge win for conservatism is a large part of why the Democrats went centrist thereafter.
I want a party with some moral goddamn principles. Fuck making friends with those confederate cunts.
“She wants to...take on racial injustice, but also laments that police have a difficult job and are underpaid.”
I mean, her name is D.Mon. I figured she’d be a “bad guy” if she ever made it in.
This is a decent headcanon tbh
