    Now, I’m not going to say that I distrust white people. I will say that, give a choice between an old white man and a middle-aged black woman with the identical qualifications, I’m picking the middle-aged black woman 10 times out of 10.

      yeah white men always find a way to punish you for trusting them to act like humans. its always something with those scum fucks. then you call them out on 20gb of upskirt photos including of you and its your fault they when they strip off their outer layer to reveal an SS uniform.

        As one myself, I second that agreement.

        And while we’re at it, I would 100% trust a black woman over any old white man to “tell it like it is.”

    This tracks with my experience living in the deep south. Most white people in the deep south see the Democratic party as the black party and the GOP as the white party.

    It really is that simple to them.

      Part of the problem for the next two years is Trump is going to veto everything and they absolutely will not get the 10 Republicans they need to cross the party line and help them override the veto.

        I agree that’s likely, but they need to make sure that they 1) DO try to pass the legislation we want them to pass and 2) Are very very vocal about it, because the oligarch/fascist owned media WILL try to downplay it. So we have to keep up the pressure on them, but also make sure people realize what’s going on.

          Pass it anyway and make him veto it. Make the republicans vote against overriding the veto. Put it all on record exactly how they voted.

            Well, that’s basically what I said - we agree - although the Dems don’t have enough majority to get over cloture, so they’ll have to do things like reconciliation and such. But yes, exactly. Pass what they can, put it all on record.

        They did for the Epstein files release vote.

        Just saying, I wouldn’t entirely rule it out … especially with a lot of Republicans now eager to distance themselves from Trump in order to save their own skins in the next election.

        The whole point of hope is to get it up. It drives action.

        True, the Democrats are masters of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. But maybe they’ll fuck up fucking it up this time around.
