That’s an outstanding observation I had never made before regarding their desire to be perceived as persecuted minorities: they’ve DONE so much colonizing, invading, occupying, persecuting, OPPRESSING (all the while sexually fetishizing those who they were repressing into remaining at the bottom of the totem pole)…

Always remember: only one in maybe 20 of em is really ready to renounce their white privilege AND implore/shame others for not doing the same. The rest are either openly hostile or virtue signaling. Those rare 1-in-maybe-20 types? they’re not commenting on this faux-progressive website. Write these Karens off for what…

The reactions you’re getting from these self-professed “allies?” Yeah, they’re definitely the type of liberals Dr. King was warning people to be wary of allying with in his letter from Birmingham jail.

Boom. Well said. 

Couldn't agree more.  Just found out that the arsonist who set that Wendy's ablaze was a white woman. Can't discount the possibility that it's Trumpist types doing the arson/looting just in an effort to make people perceive protesting as the equiv of terrorism.

‘Bye.

100%

It's like the DNC supporters stick their fingers in their ears and say "lalalla i can't hear youuuu" when you point out that most of sanders' supporters were doing so because of his POLICIES.

Hopefully, if nothing else, this sham of a primary has made clear to the suffering women & youth - the 99%ers - of this country that there IS NO “legal” or “democratic” path to political power in the USA for left-wing populists.

Progressive idealist here: i think you make an excellent point about the certainty with which many of us progressives (Sanders supporters included) sometimes conduct ourselves. I agree, it can (& often is) off-putting to less-politically-educated people; it’s a real problem in trying to bring people around to a…

Very well said. IDK how your comment is “in the Greys;” it should be featured at the top of of the comment section.

Well said. Ashley Reece should un-grey you💯

Well said.

Thoughtful - and very necessary - piece.

Just gotta warn ya (because care about you ladies’ paychecks): remember what happened to Splinter for being “too pro-Bernie.”

Also, just because i care about you ladies’ paychecks: remember what happened to Splinter for being “too pro-Bernie.”
