Kinda ironic that the way for minorities to get it better is to make sure poor white men have it better first.
Who said anything about first? If you make things better for minorities by addressing problems that disproportionately harm them, some white men will also see their problems solved.
You’d rather solve nothing in case help goes to people you want to punish.
- Comment on How possibly? 2 weeks ago:
In a society where white men are favored they still have that. Which isn’t a small thing! They will probably always win if put up against women or people of color when looking for jobs.
The problems I listed all disproportionately impact minorities, and addressing them will disproportionately benefit minorities. Failing to address them out of spite for white men disproportionately harms minorities. But hey, you sure showed those white men that you’re willing to harm minorities to get to them.
If you want white men to stop following con artists, you need to credibly solve problems that they’re facing, or they’ll believe the first con artist that comes along that wants them to blame minorities for their problems, which adds fuel to existing oppression.
I bet a lot of the minorities would prefer to be a white man to have it easier in life.
Yeah, probably. They have it worse off and I never said otherwise. Thing is, what democrats usually do in this situation isn’t to solve the actual problems. It’s to look at the bigoted false solutions offered by republican con artists and put forth watered down versions of those, breaking solidarity with minorities in the process. What this doesn’t do is peel off the votes of white men who have been suckered by con artists. You can’t beat false solutions with a lesser version of the same false solution.
Kind of ironic saying they have nothing and then automatically being accepted in the powerful fine boys club which fight for their kinds right to stay in a superior place in society.
I’m saying that democrats are leaving votes on the table that they could get if they wanted them, without throwing minorities under the bus like they’ve been doing.

White guys make up a large chunk of the population. There are white guys that have some of the same problems that are harming minorities as well. Poverty, addiction, mental and physical health, inflation, an unfavorable jobs market, and so on.
They see a democratic party that is at best useless at addressing these problems, when they admit that they exist at all. At worst, they see a party that is dismissive and hostile to these concerns, and to them personally. In contrast, they see a republican party that is full of welcoming con artists who will happily tell them that all their problems spring from minorities.
Neither side is offering actual solutions, but republicans are acknowledging that the problems exist, even if they’re offering false solutions.

On a similar note, Flock is known to do OCR on bumper stickers. I’ve recently found myself wondering if there’s any sanitization being done to the OCR output before it gets stored in whatever database they’re using.
Because Bobby Tables.
- Comment on Israel promises 'Gaza-style destruction' in Lebanon after denying deliberate destruction for 2 years 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, pretending that opposing genocide is supporting genocide, as you’ve been doing all thread, is absolutely ridiculous fantasy. It’s just a stupid justification for genocide support.
- Comment on Israel promises 'Gaza-style destruction' in Lebanon after denying deliberate destruction for 2 years 2 weeks ago:
It’s as grounded in reality as anything else you’ve said. Which is to say it’s ridiculous fantasy.
- Comment on Israel promises 'Gaza-style destruction' in Lebanon after denying deliberate destruction for 2 years 2 weeks ago:
Clearly if Americans are at fault for this, then I’m saying Israelis are too.
Clearly you only care now and not back in 2024 when you had no notes.

Biden would save me just in the nick of time
Biden wouldn’t save anyone other than netanyahu and maybe his failson.

Nobody wanted trump to win, idiot.
Centrists were perfectly fine with trump winning as long as no candidate opposed the genocide they love more than anything.
- Comment on Israel promises 'Gaza-style destruction' in Lebanon after denying deliberate destruction for 2 years 2 weeks ago:
It isn’t. You just seem like you’re mad at people who criticized Israel for Gaza.
- Comment on Israel promises 'Gaza-style destruction' in Lebanon after denying deliberate destruction for 2 years 2 weeks ago:
Keep supporting genocide. It’s all you’re for and all you’ve ever been or ever will be.
- Comment on Israel promises 'Gaza-style destruction' in Lebanon after denying deliberate destruction for 2 years 2 weeks ago:
shut the fuck up.
No. We should never have another genocide candidate. If she had told netanyahu no, you would have voted for trump without hesitation.
- Comment on Israel promises 'Gaza-style destruction' in Lebanon after denying deliberate destruction for 2 years 2 weeks ago:
You’re represented by both parties, since you only support genocide.
- Comment on Israel promises 'Gaza-style destruction' in Lebanon after denying deliberate destruction for 2 years 2 weeks ago:
You’re the only one defending your only position.
- Comment on Israel promises 'Gaza-style destruction' in Lebanon after denying deliberate destruction for 2 years 2 weeks ago:
Stop pretending that the situation in the middle east isn’t all you want in this world.
- Comment on Israel promises 'Gaza-style destruction' in Lebanon after denying deliberate destruction for 2 years 2 weeks ago:
I’m not a bot and I’m not voting for trump. I voted for the genocide candidate you wanted instead of the other genocide candidate you were fine with as long as there was no anti-genocide candidate.
You got the only thing any centrist has ever wanted. You got an election in which genocide was the only option. Stop gloating.
- Comment on Israel promises 'Gaza-style destruction' in Lebanon after denying deliberate destruction for 2 years 2 weeks ago:
There is no centrist who wasn’t fine with trump winning as long as no one told netanyahu no.
- Comment on Israel promises 'Gaza-style destruction' in Lebanon after denying deliberate destruction for 2 years 2 weeks ago:
Clearly the answer is permanent silence from all critics like you want.

We’ve had of ecocomic warfare already. It was just fine for US companies to hollow out domestic manufacturing so China could build the manufacturing infrastructure that could have been built in the US.
But now that a Chinese company is building things that undercut a US company, you want protections for US billionaires that weren’t afforded to US workers.
