Not beating the coronation allegations.

Also for those who don’t know, “the south got something to say” - she’s quoting Andre 3000 at the 1995 Source Awards, a historic moment for southern hip-hop. This whole thing is a joke.

    DNC voters are such good little pawns

    I’ll never forget how Kamala was such a deeply unpopular candidate in 2020 that she got a total of 0 delegates in her home state. Everything about politics is completely manufactured by the bourgeois

    Maybe it’s not surprising but seeing almost every left leaning community (aside from here, thank fuck - not that I thought people here would fall for it) descend into full-throated support for the democrats where any dissenting voices are shouted down genuinely makes me feel like I’m witness to the forming of a cult or some shit

    Biden’s speech last night was better than Obama’s. Obama was just pushing the same bipartisanship bullshit as always. I hate how much Democrats like him. Biden attacked republicans and had a few “my opponents are bastards and actually accuse me of supporting something, and I actually do because it’s actually good” lines. Not to butter up Biden, but I prefer it so much over Obama’s empty compromise bullshit, and again I really hate how much Democrats love to hear that shit from Obama.

    Republicans aren’t decent people you have a disagreement with. They’re hateful scum and their platform is evil and shouldn’t be allowed to run for office.

      Thing is tho - so are Democrats.

      It’s one of the things I care about the most because it effects me in deeply personal ways fairly often, it costs me friends and scares the shit out of me, Obama and Biden are historic, incomparable, evils on genocidal ‘anti-immigration’ and ‘border control’ policies in the contemporary era.

      The Republicans genuinely do not compare, rhetoric aside, what they actually do is so much fucking tamer, life is so much less dangerous on average.

      I’m not saying Dems are worse than Republicans, tho perhaps some specific men are. I’m saying they’re the same creature.

      Of course they’re bi-partisan.

        “The white conservatives aren’t friends of the Negro either, but they at least don’t try to hide it. They are like wolves; they show their teeth in a snarl that keeps the Negro always aware of where he stands with them. But the white liberals are foxes, who also show their teeth to the Negro but pretend that they are smiling. The white liberals are more dangerous than the conservatives; they lure the Negro, and as the Negro runs from the growling wolf, he flees into the open jaws of the “smiling” fox.” ― Malcom X

      • Obama and Biden are historic, incomparable, evils on genocidal ‘anti-immigration’ and ‘border control’ policies in the contemporary era.

        I want everyone to remember that Obama and Biden both had harsher immigration policies than GWB and Trump

      But that’s exactly how and why Democrats approach them as if they are. Because the only difference between the two at this point are purely aesthetic-driven. The Democrats aren’t decent people either-- they’re just as hateful, just as evil, and honestly, maybe worse because at the very fucking least a Republican will look you in the eye as he lynches you.

      The Democrat will lull you into lowering your guard as a friend, ambush you, string you up from behind, and then crocodile tear to their bought-and-paid-for ‘journalism’ outlets like they regretted having to betray you. And then they laugh about it after they get what they want.

        That’s the idea, isn’t it? Focus on vibes and arguing over culture war bullshit while society crumbles around us for the enrichment of a few. I also can’t fully describe it, but this feels like demeaning pandering to what their perceptions of the black electorate are.

    I mean, she’s kinda killing it with this angle tbh. People are going crazy over the Quavo and Megan Thee Stallion performances, the Kendrick songs being played, the Brat stuff, etc.

    She’s the second coming of Obama

    I’m not watching this one because I won’t watch a genocidal rally hinged on personality cult of a scarecrow, and I can’t imagine it isn’t one this year. Do let me know if anything good comes from it, I could use a good shock.

    I would very much like the peckerwoods consigning my community to prison slavery and chalk outlines to stop bastardizing the culture that they have been taking pains to kill for the past thirty years. Death to the settlers, death to the DNC, death to all their tapdancing minstrels.

    Bunch of fucking Steppin Fetchits, I swear to fucking god.
