I’m acknowledging that these black women can make other choices with their votes if this specific party doesn’t align with their priorities and you think *I’m* the one simplifying this into a binary?

Maybe we have misunderstood each other. It seemed like you were arguing that the wars in Europe didn’t really count as wars. I’ll blame it on Kinjas terrible threading, I guess.
At the top of your browser there should be a “URL bar” that will show that you’re on Jezebel dot com writing comments, not writing comments on the other article. Your no-true-Scotsman arguments were written in the context of an article comparing wars in Europe to wars in Africa.
Shockingly these are two different statements in two different contexts.
Wow, Democrats better try to keep those votes then, huh?
I assumed the "I don't have time for this" was directed at the people he was telling to stop, not her for existing.
Lol, go figure.
And I grew up with "Yugoslavia" on the map.

It’s funny how “running more appealing candidates” is just out of the realm of possibility. Seems to me that if your most reliable voting block is saying “We won’t show up unless the candidate supports issue x.” you’d better start finding candidates who support issue x.
It sounds like Black women are saying that "better then a Republican" isn't a high enough bar. Dems might need to run some better candidates.
Black women are a pretty reliable voting block. I bet they could swing some DSA candidates.
I guess if voters are so opposed or indifferent to these policies, Democrats must have plenty of votes even without Black women. In which case, I guess they don't have anything to worry about?

I very much think that anyone who sends rape or death threats should lose their account and have their IP banned, but that's also a "All engagement is good as far as Twitter is concerned" problem and not a "this particular douchebag" problem.
Beyonce couldn't keep her fans from sending death threats to Rachel Ray, so I doubt some Z-list comedian has the pull.
I kind of thought the huge setbacks on reproductive rights might wake more people up, but it doesn’t seem to be doing so. I don’t know how many conversations I’ve had with “Democrats” who think it’s a shame that a party wants to do horrible things to minorities but we can’t actually stop it because “*shrug* rules!…
They will only listen to other men that they already agree with though. The guys who want to send rape threats are looking for any excuse to do so, and I kind of doubt that Walker could have written a paragraph eloquent enough to talk them out of it.
Getting knocked up by your asshole on-again/off-again boyfriend: Understandable. Shit happens.
Right, I’m saying it’s a little weird to me that everyone is using the exact same wording of the paraphrase, but nobody has published the actual quote.
