You earned a block.

No great loss for me.

That earned you a block.

Bye, boy

No, you didn't offer a YouTube mashup posted by Mike Johnson as a response to someone telling you this was a right-wing disinformation campaign.

Oh, wait. You did.

The campaign worked so well that you are helping them wage it and have no idea how badly you've been played.

Yup. Republicans know we love to eat our own and they played it beautifully.

And anyone who thinks Hunter ever said or implied his father is perfect is more delusional than they think Hunter is.

"The Democrats" didn't go after his Dad. SOME Democrats did - don't smear the whole party because of the behavior of a handful of people.

And Democrats DID stand up for Hunter. Go back and look at what congressional Republicans tried to do to him and how House and Senate Dems fought back

Compared with Don Jr. who never shuts up.

The same goes for the common saying that "Washington is broken."

DC isn't broken - not one of these people came from DC and neither did the people causing problems now. Folks out in the so-called "heartland" sent them here.

Stop blaming us for the mess y'all keep making.

Black voters, especially Black women, ARE the Democrats in large part.

And unlike some on the left, Black women know elections are binary choices, not popularity contests, and we're too politically sophisticated to smear the entire party because of what a handful of elite Dems did four years prior.

You also fight fascists by NOT demanding our side mirror fascists and attack, smear and undermine them when they don't.

Using fascist tactics against fascists doesn't fight fascism. It just spreads it around and makes it impossible to tell us apart from them - because we are then all fascists.

Doing one interview and answering a question honestly is not "yapping."

False equivalence.

Some of us tried to explain this to folks back then, but were drowned out by the "Schumer needs to go/Vichy Dems" crowd who refused to listen to anything but their own voices.

The world benefits exponentially more from hearing what Hunter Biden thinks than anything Chris Cilizza has ever had to say

Jim Comey must be so glad he went out of his way to put his thumb on the scale for the Republican nominee in 2016. It's really worked out nicely for him.

My ancestors who barely had one drop of African blood certainly were "really Black" back in the day.

Funny how that has changed ...

I asked you nicely to go away. Now I'm blocking you.

Bye.

Truth.

My, what a whiny and defensive response to having a woman tell you she is not responsible for providing you a fundamental political education upon your demand.

I'm sure you believe that

If, at this point in your life, you truly don't know what real political work is, a stranger telling you on Bluesky is not going to do much good.

But if you make the effort to talk to activists in your own community to find out what they're doing and how you can help, you'll likely learn a lot.

Actually, the people who are repeating anti-Democratic talking points trying to kneecap Democrats and our leaders are the ones demonstrating MAGA-like obtuseness.

Actually, for many of you, it's not obtuseness at all, but a clear effort to undermine the Democrats.

The first impeachment helped us defeat 45 in '20.

But people like you were too busy whining about Democrats that they couldn't be bothered to do the work necessary to give the Biden-Harris administration a second term.

You'd better start supporting the Dems if you really want anything to change.

If your "activism" is limited to marching and screaming into the void, no wonder you're frustrated. Because it sounds like you're engaging in performative acts while real activists are doing the actual work.

He was speaking out. So were many other Democrats. You just weren't paying attention, perhaps because you were too focused on the shiny objects the mainstream media dangled in front of you.

And you also seem to think that Democrats now have the power to do anything about what you're complaining about.

Yet, you brag about having "screamed into the void" as if that's some kind of activism.

Takes like yours are why I can't and don't take some people seriously.
