If you’re a black person in America who doesn’t understand that neither side gives a damn about you and they will both do everything they can to keep having absolute power, you’re either not that smart or you’re hoping for the demise of your people
White folk have always fought against every freedom and right we have on this soil. They went to war over our emancipation, fought tooth and nail against our civil rights, hell anything that would benefit us
Yes there is.There’s no such thing as “voting against”

Nope.
I am convince half of you people are cacs. This is basic shyt. Most sane black people (most sane people in general) can see the obvious danger of having someone like Trump in office.
It's hard to say that when in threads a lot of you guys will be four or five pages deep sounding so thirsty and anxiously awaiting making subtle premature declarations/bragging about how Trump and the GOP will be taking full control of Washington.
that's the problem
and nobody (okay, nobody with a brain) is saying black people would have been better off under four more years of Trump. what I am saying, is voting with a lesser of two evils outlook, and letting one party know that they have you in your pocket just because they're better than the other party, is not going to bring actual progress, just less (or less overt) bullshyt.
so if slightly less bullshyt is what you want, go for it. just don't get your hopes up too high
Who in the Democratic party are you against? You guys always talk about this this side and that side but never give details.
moral men do not vote for evil....
So question for you and give a straight answer . Was it the conservative political party or liberals that fought to keep us slaves and deny us our civil rightsIf you’re a black person in America who doesn’t understand that neither side gives a damn about you and they will both do everything they can to keep having absolute power, you’re either not that smart or you’re hoping for the demise of your people

I'll post this here since my thread on it flopped
But voting for Democrats is basically about stalling the destruction of the country, and that's all
They rarely make significant progress left, they rarely even WANT to
We settle for low hanging fruit from the culture wars like LGBT shyt and mostly meaningless initiatives like My Brother Keeper and now Lift every Voice
But all the substantial impacting stuff has been mainly progressed by Repugs like the war on drugs and tax cuts
Sadly the reality is we need to keep voting for Dems to keep the country as close to what it is now for as long as possible. Anything else they do is honestly just a cherry on top of the status quo
It's not even that, it's that they make threads and make insane far right arguments that only Trump supporters make. We have literal threads on here where these people take policy positions and make statements that involve, letting anyone who isn't rich starve to death over things that aren't their fault, encouraging the rape of a US congresswoman because she's too left for their tastes, showing support for the taliban, insane far right conspiracy theories, banning any and all immigration etc. This is insane right wing shyt that gets said on places like /POL/ on *****.
Not to mention all the mother fukkers that come on here spewing talking points you only hear on Fox News, constantly posting far right articles and right wing Twitters. There was one poster who you could've copied and pasted Tweets made by Abbott and Cruz in Texas and it would've been the same statement....
It's very obvious where they stand, but they're cowards and refuse to say it. They need to live their truth, like the immigration threads about the Haitian refuges are incredibly disingenuous. There's no substantial talk of how to solve an issue that's been going on for DECADES. It's just outrage fuel like most things on TLR now that are seemingly only created in an attempt to radicalize posters.
