ask yourself why it is that people that are overtly racist, anti-semitic (not anti-Israel; those aren’t the same thing), homophobic, christian nationalist, etc. all vote Republican.
There’s no shortage of racism among Democrats, particularly at the voter level. California has a super-abundance of liberal voters, despite being awash in police violence and the epicenter of some of the cruelest forms of slum clearance. NYC municipal and state leadership have demonstrated an unfathomable appetite for cruelty towards their communities of color and of LGBTQ.
To say this is a purely Republican problem, you have to ignore everyone in the party from Joe Manchin to Lori Lightfoot to Biden himself.
It does appear that why though when we are essentially facing a dictatorship from a GOP candidate. Not saying that you’re not correct, but having a moral conundrum on the only reasonable party candidate we have right now doesn’t seem the right answer. But, I’m purely thinking of my kids future — what future they may have after this election.
1000% agree. It’s part of the entire problem. White people debating what is. And isn’t racist. Rather than a PoC saying. That was racist. And us internalizing that to make change.
Totally agree with you. I just wish the internal party crisis that’s happening in the Dems wasn’t happening because it makes me think that Trump will win. It’s hard because I get WHY it’s happening — but this is the shit that keeps me up at night. My kids deserve far fucking better (we all do).
Yeah. It’s wild how such an ideology can take hold with a vocal minority. I understand wanting society to be able to change. But I don’t understand people wanting to go backwards socially or environmentally. It lacks all empathy imo. Sociopaths all around us 😐

And a Democrat establishment constantly seeking to appease and compromise with them.
Meanwhile, the Dem base is as prone to hysterics around drugs, migrants, and “rising crime rates” as any conservative. Far right pundits love to prey on liberal suburban insecurities to get the reactionary social policies they want.
All of this is rooted in a general American bigotry. It isn’t in any way unique to a single party.

Biden’s VP is black
The current presidential candidate is black and female. Obama is black
Pretty much all democrats https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LGBT_members_of_the_United_States_Congress .
Yeah. Democrats seem super racist and bigoted lol. Walz in particular clearly hates minorities /s
Sad you are getting downvoted. This isn’t a boo both sides suck situation it’s a morality issue with white Americans.
Clearly the republicans are much much worse but denying and ignoring democrats biases entrenches the problem imo.

Fuck white supremacy, anyway.

It’s American individualism, man. Bad for us.

What has drug control got to do with anything?
Anyone rational would be trying to reduce usage and control dangerous or addictive ones.
