You mean like when Black voters warned about Fetterman and were dismissed?
Or about Platner and his Nazi tattoo?
Tim Ryan?
How Doug Jones lost to Tommy Tubesteak because white voters liked his racism?
Tell me where we haven’t cared about Senate seats?
Wasn't their last protest 5 months ago? People complain about leaders not meeting the moment ... a march every 5 months doesn't suggest urgency or seriousness, especially when every week is stuffed full of more horrific news than most humans can even process

I remember that. I was shocked by how many people attended.
And the groups this BS is tied to are the far left racist, Jew-hating Tankies. The type that *literally*, not figuratively, held a vigil for Khamenei in NYC,
And people criticized Hillary for choosing this guy as a running mate.

It’s so gross. All a money grab and only adding to the stalling of us whites actually organizing for real impact.
Voters are supposed to vote for the best option even if the campaign isn’t giving them an orgasm.
Did Trump's? No.
Incidentally, you're too dumb to vote if you think there is a candidate who will run a perfect campaign.
Sorry...
I need to see the No Kings rallies put in the same protest energy like Minnesota did against ICE.
You mofos are energizing cause the weather is warmer and that means outdoor brunch and bottomless mimosas after your two-hour parades.
IKR? No one marches in that kind of cold unless they mean it. Those No King protests are a little too picnic-y for my liking.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Especially since “AIPAC” is the new Nword.
This movie was so good
I think my friends and I saw it three times in the theater when it came out

I was/am a medic pumpkin. Y'all can never seem to grasp how the military works.
I work in the underserved community with minorities and lower income folks.
Look at you making yourself look like an asshole on Jesse Jackson's internet. 😂
It's funny to me how often certain white people assume that everyone follows *their* social norms. It's even funnier when they tell on themselves by policing people who couldn't care less about how they feel.🙄
#NotAll white people voted for Trump but a #majorityofwhitepeople did.
You *know* that's what the OP meant.
White people didn't think enough of the late Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr. to have him lie in state at the capitol like Billy Graham. They didn't think enough of the late Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. to air his funeral on national TV.
But they still feel its their duty to police the speeches at his funeral.
Why do people still waste pixels claiming Kamala Harris supposedly ran to the right of Trump on something, which supposedly demoralized some group of people, which supposedly caused her to lose?
There’s no issue on which Harris ran to Trump’s right. Not a single fucking one. Quit making shit up.
