cried for a week straight

They're still crying about it!

Do campaign volunteers not even have a bare minimum of guard rails up to stop them from texting some unhinged shit to voters?

We're raising awareness of Mental Health problems!

That's great! Improved healthcare will be a huge boon for mentally ill people!

Now that people are aware of Mental Health we're going to weaponize broader public awareness to blame all the crazies for societal problems.

Fuck.

Seriously, it's plain as day with a material analysis. The material conditions for the working class aren't improving either way, but the party with red hats have a (wrong) solution, to blame immigrants and the gays. People falling for fascist rhetoric are miseducated (yay American education system), disillusioned and desperate. A competent and well meaning political party could turn that anguish and contempt for the status quo into results, but Dems are neither of those things. In the end, they also serve capital.

To meaningfully reform healthcare is to make workers less desperate, it will allow disgruntled and abused workers to leave their workplace and therefore dilute the power of the employers and to take away from the pharmaceutical companies. To meaningfully push through higher wages is to take away from capitalists at large. To meaningfully reform housing is to take away from landlords. To meaningfully reform prisons is to take away from the private prison industry. To meaningfully stop the genocide in Gaza is to take away from the Military Industrial Complex. They'll promise and pay lip service to those things but will never meaningfully change them.

They are not well meaning. One of the few aspects in which they are better is abortion and they fumbled that so hard, because they're also incompetent.

But no, to the diehard libs, it's because half the country are mentally ill. That's the only explanation.

POV: you have come out against mass extermination to a democrat:

Another banger quote from you

Every liberal/chud a fascist

going to say, bet this person doesn't support Hamas fighting for the humanity and rights of Palestinians

They think they're prepared or desensitized because every week theres a mass shooting. Some sickening machismo in there. But they have no idea what these other people really go through.

Yes, but also god please no

I get the feeling you're by far not the only one.

Harris is so annoying it's unreal. I don't think Hilldawg ever came close to this level.

It was my birthday last week and I was out of the country. I was having a shitty day and one of the Harris phone bankers called me. I kept telling them now is absolutely not a good time and they kept talking over me.

I hate yelling at people over the phone but I was not having it; it's become so fucking common to try to talk over people now. I hate it. Always like to play victim too when someone doesn't deal with their shitty behavior either 🙄

Malcolm was right.

“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.”
