    Al gore got fucked and he should have been president

    The same way Bernie got fucked by the DNC and would have won against trump if he had been the nominee

    Hillary Clinton is at best centre right and was an absolutely horseshit choice, her only redeeming feature was she wasnt trump

    Maybe democrats should actually be progressive and not all be owned by corporations and then people would go for them








  • Idk if anyone is saying they’ll vote for trump over Biden because they think he will be better for genocide or for people in the states.

    Saying Biden and the Democrats are enabling genocide and watching it happen is not the same thing as saying “we will vote for trump”

    It’s calling out people and hoping they do better.

    But I guarantee you if Biden loses the election this November, all the pieces will be about why black and brown and Muslim voters didn’t come out, rather than examining why an absolutely massive proportion of white people vote for trump and the Republicans at every turn even though they’re destroying the country.




  • Erasing words because there is the potential for damaging feelings isnt the way to go.

    I agree re sexism, etc., but I don’t think we should rewrite books or words. Let people know what they mean, and then explain why it’s bad.

    For ex. Re-publishing Enid Blyton or Mark Twains works with certain words that are racist removed or edited. I don’t think that should be done. Let people learn how they were used and why they are wrong.

    Or pulling down statues of Confederate leaders because they were racist and fought to have slaves. Don’t do that. Keep the statues up. Add a plaque or a message stating why they were assholes. Don’t erase history. Don’t rewrite it. Just make sure people have the knowledge.
