Y’all want to see a cautionary tale of exactly what Black Folks have been trying to warn y’all of for years?
This guy Sef Casim ran as a young progressive candidate against a BW and all the usual suspects lined up behind him.
After he won the caucus/primary a bunch

If they die, at least they'll die as manly men in their masculine. Don't worry fellas, I promise not to let toxic empathy make me care about your preventable fate.
Woah!
I need to know if Chris Pratt has blackmail material on studio execs that produce kid's movies because he is not a good voice actor. He just does his own voice in every character, zero variation between them.
When white people believed the conspiracy about hacked voting machines that allegedly effected THEIR votes: angry 😠 😤 😡
When white people hear about a credible audacious attempt to disenfranchise Black voters AGAIN: 😎 😏
They practice voter suppression techniques on Black voters because they know white ppl across the political spectrum will not care. It's why it pissed me off when white ppl were screaming about hacked voting machines. The GOP didn't need to do that after gutting the VRA to little media fanfare.
Girl this is a PLUM ASS FOOL AND JASMINE FUCKIN CROCKETT TRIED TO WARN EVERYBODY IM SO FUCKIN PISSED

Lot of white men dropping in to colonize the conversation with their shitty opinions. Gather round everyone! Many don't even live in the US and have opinions that they've formed off of tiktok but they sure are confident they know better than everyone else! Lovely!
So no war but class war, but when regular Dems talk about economic issues amidst alllllll of this they're tone deaf?
The one thing far too many white leftist, liberal and conservative men agree on is that us bloody women and Black and Brown people don’t know what the hell we are talking about.
If you don’t believe me, take a look at how misogynistic and racist a white leftist man becomes when he insists the only real struggle in this world is class and nothing else.
People are not going to like this but some of you have absolutely learned the language of social justice with the intention of cloaking your misogyny and racism instead of doing any actual good with it.
Even if we accepted the premise that they're feckless (a belief based on a lot of posters' intellectual laziness to do basic research), the idea that being milquetoast is equal to being a bigot with a Nazi tattoo says a lot about how unseriously they take Nazi ideology.
I can’t even poke my head into this app without immediately seeing people whining and complaining about Democrats. As though that’s the most important thing to focus on. It’s exhausting. Aren’t y’all tired? This place is tedious. 🤦🏾♀️
Wait a gd minute. Biden & Black politicians all ran on love thy neighbor based on their personal faith. I had to hear "we need a fighter, not reach across the aisle politics. It's weak" for months & months. NOW, they're falling all over the concepts of faith and joy? Like it's new? Ya know what..
Reminds me of when my mom, who grew up in abject poverty that people forget exists in the US and didn't get her GED until her thirties, clocked Fetterman immediately. She said his clothing reflected his lack of respect for the office he was running for. She was dead on.
It bothers me that people think that authentic working class people must dress slovenly. It shows how educated white lefty people view working class people deep down. The idea that poorer people don't reserve their best or clean up when the occasion calls for it? Revealing, truly.
1/? White liberals and leftists, who do not understand why so many Black people are upset in HOW Talarico won the primary, aren't getting it. White ppl see it as left vs right. Black ppl are fighting for Black EMPOWERMENT vs White supremacy no matter if it is right or left.
Being a business owner that doesn't wash his face or shave often doesn't make a white guy working class. Having a substack doesn't mean you have something interesting to say and having a lot of followers doesn't mean you're insightful. Their cleaning lady is working class, she's more interesting.
"You need to understand the white man's perspective to win him over!" Everyone has had to understand your perspective for hundreds of years, it's the reverse that's the problem. Why aren't Black political commentators given the same reverence as pod bros or the aarons or kens?
I'm done treating every white man as an expert in politics because he has a microphone. Being a speech writer over a decade ago for a man who didn't need you much or being a regular poster with unearned confidence doesn't make you a voice worth listening to over marginalized people. Listen instead.
Oh the pro-Kremlin Assad sympathizer? A man who argued that Assad's forces didn't use chemical weapons? The son of a quack who thinks ADHD is caused by trauma in complete opposition to what scientific research says? A nepo baby far left extremist?
Yeah, a real POS that one.
Well, well, well 🇺🇦
Women have to work decades to get to positions of leadership that men are handed at the beginning of adulthood only for people to scream at them that they're too old for the leadership they've fought decades to get into.
It's almost as if... people don't like women.

Last year, Virginia Dems and Dem candidates vowed to make progress on affordability if they won a majority in the state House. After winning a trifecta in the state, they’re making it happen.
When Dems are in power in the states, they deliver on their promises.
How about every one of them has an 18 year old come in with no experience to be their boss or replace them just because they're younger. I mean they should practice what they preach, youth = qualified, right?
MAGA doesn't care about American troops. The GOP only cares about the military insofar as it can win them votes and make them look like faux tough guys. Trump has spent years insulting the troops, why would his base gaf that he's treating them like cannon fodder to his whims now?
