But I can’t in good conscience vote for a Veep who voted the same as Bernie … (looks at notes) … 93% of the time!
And we’re just getting started.
But don’t let us stop your irrelevant preening.
“Racism was over until Obama showed up and reminded me that black people exist.”
—Old white ladies everywhere
You have to almost admire the lunkheadedness that suggests that if a black guy kills another black guy then why can’t we?
But letting the country (and thus the world) slide into fascism because your smugness bubble will protect you in the hip neighborhood you’ve always lived in, maybe – just maybe – you aren’t owed an open lane to being the #1 racist Realtor in Tempe, Ashelee.*
* stupid spelling intentional
Concept. A die-cut sticker with a hole in the middle between “RAC” and “ST” to stick over people’s “III” white supremacist militia stickers on cars.
They will try to bait you with bad faith appeals to devils advocacy and all the usual Librotarian time wasters but understand that it’s ONLY about wasting your time, focus and energy.
Know this: You don’t owe *anyone* with unreasonable views a reasoned debate. Ever.
You can tell them to shut up and that’s that.
“As rated by Progressive Punch, Sen. Kamala Harris has the 5th-most progressive voting record in the Senate, ahead of Bernie Sanders (8th) and Sherrod Brown (9th).
“The idea that she’s integral to Democratic machine politics when she’s only been involved in national politics for three years is laughable.
“She’s harshly criticized Democratic concessions to Republicans for years.
“Despite all this, she’s posed as a centrist, and individual elements of her history are picked in isolation (and sometimes misrepresented or misunderstood because of this) without a consideration of her full history.
“Harris has a long association with and history within activism, and has long been close with Chicanx activist movements, prioritizing civil rights, voting rights, and labor rights that are often ignored when talking about her history.
“Miss me with that ‘not progressive enough’ B.S. because it doesn’t ask to have the full conversation regarding her history and it pretends civil rights progressivism somehow isn’t as pure, important, or needed as socioeconomic progressivism.”
—Gabriel Valdez, hardly a centrist DNC shill
And if there’s a woman involved those dudes always get out the electron microscopes to legitimize their urge to dismiss women in the first place.
Fuck em.
And forgive me for getting a little Homer Simpson on y’all, but in my day we had some powerful jams too …
