There was a group of black people who were supporting him initially. Plenty of black people supported his candidacy, as did plenty of the black mainstream media. The shift came later. The establishment was touting him as one of the future faces of the party - just as they did Fetterman’s clown ass. Everyone sees clearly in hindsight with these frauds, but few will listen until the con is already locked in. Crockett engages in way too much outright buffoonery and is unserious and leans into spectacle in the face of deeply serious circumstances. That’s why I’m comparing them and how slow people are to realize these are civil servants and not your instagram friends.

Somebody posted she’s raised millions for her community. What do you do?

Apparently Black people that attended private schools arent qualified to represent Black people in general..if youre not from the gutter or streets you aint really Black and must not be heard from..this is why Black suburban kids with options are under societal pressure to become street thugs.

I’m black and have been verified. You’re truly a weak bytch.

Everything about her is fake but keep defending her.

Yall agents always talking about yall been verified . I don’t belive it . Yall probably have c00n friends that take pictures of their hands

Got a bunch of middle aged losers who haven’t organized a basketball game complaining that an elected officials doesn’t sound or move exactly how they want.


More purity politics. Honestly it’s becoming evident it’s jealousy at their own image loser dom.

Say what you want about MAGA but they stick together and don’t destroy their own.

Just pathetic. Obviously masking feelings of your own worthless inadequacies and laziness.

I figured them out a long time ago..

Notice how they can talk real tough with their necks and chests puffed out but have no actual fight in them..
They're cut from the same cowardly c00n cloth as street bums that will today shoot Black opps ''on sight'' but its Yes Sir, Yes Ma'am when they see cac's.

They hate Black people that arent afraid of Whitey, because those Brothers and Sisters light a fire under their cowardly ass to also stand up and fight for shyt, which the cowards are not prepared to do as they've long resigned themselves to being 2nd and 3rd class citizens.

They're like really old Black folks that will have a heart attack if they saw you loudly telling off the White man to his face.

Not sure I agree with you on group of black people supporting him initially. Of course there were opportunists and followers that were supporting him but by and large I didn't see it. What I see was many new yorkers tired of the symbolism and the status quo-ish nature of all establishment candidates. Black mainstream media is just an extension of the black bourgeoise and/or sycophants and they have never really been the representative of the black culture and feelings overall in the past decades.

Buffoonery? really? I really don't see it. I see her being unserious on social media with jokes etc., absolutely, but to diminish what she does and verbally stand for when every other black politician are LITERALLY silent on all issues is unfair. And on top of that Walt, you are very informed about right-wing and fascist tactics so I am pretty surprised actually that you do not see this for what it really is.

She's got some questionable stuff going on but it ain't this. Ryan Grimm wrote in his book about the squad that during her initial run Jasmine was approached by the crypto currency lobby and they basically told her ( I'm paraphrasing) "we can either support you or destroy you". At the time he said she didn't know what crypto was or what it was about and didn't really have a stance on it but because of the threat she signed on to support crypto agenda. I agree with Ryan that it says more about our political system than it does her but It is something you can put a pin in.

Two things can be true at once.

Yes, right wing/fascists are scum and operate in bad faith at all times and they are utterly racist. Yes, Crockett is also - quite nakedly - leaning into spectacle, narcissism, brand-building and buffoonery.

Rarely venture into threads in TLR for political talk because there's no sign of nuance in the discussions whatsoever, and everything has - like entertainment and sports - been reduced to tribal and emotional appeal. But these impotent politics of opposition, resentment, and authenticity are beyond depressing. Agents, c00ns, ADOS, tethers, bothsiders etc... this is the rhetoric of paralysis.

I don't mean any of that harshly or judgmentally. The institutions we used to have collapsed or were dismantled. We don't have the obvious mechanisms for political change so we invest our time and energy into picking a side and trying to express rebellion by backing the figures who seem to be especially hated by the people we revile. But what we need, desperately, is organizing. Legitimate shutdown of industries and systems. Not tiktoks, not "clapbacks," not ad hominem attacks against losers like MTG, but specific socio-political strategizing. Everything else is just posturing at this point. It's amusement, and we're amusing ourselves to death while resenting possible allies in struggle. I don't think people realize just how dire circumstances are in terms of the climate, the economy, the ultimate goals of the tech oligarchs, and let's not even get into Israel and the Christian fascists. If you're not loudly and clearly talking about the people organizing to fight for their right to fukkin live, you might as well be Washington Generals status to me. Just controlled opposition.
