If you’re equating Black voters telling you to do work with “withholding votes” you should also work on what’s causing you to do that. Especially if you’re always yapping how YOUR vote MUST be “earned”. Your inability to grasp these as different things is part of the racism you always downplay.

Oh they are BIG mad when the shit THEY do gets flipped back on them. Now that it’s a White male savior they want Black folks to STFU and fall in line. They want us busting our ass for a candidate we don’t believe in. Fuck that. Go win over those disaffected White people and Latinos on your own.

I will put it bluntly: If we allow the Democratic Party to become the party of justifying SS tattoos and misogynoir, we will be no better than the GQP. I am John Lewis, Rep Clyburn and Joe Biden Democrat. If this party become the party of Graham Planter, we become all we fought for eons.

Every single time White people who are supposed allies have had the opportunity to put their money where their mouth is they flop every time. Vote like Black women until it’s time to support Black women.

Whew man listen! Stacey Abrams, Kamala and Jasmine would all like a word.

Why? So you can spend the entire time yelling at her for not pulling unicorns out of a hat?

Perusing the apps and seeing it is republicans and leftists most happy Talarico won.

🗣️All of this!!!

I see more White "progressives/leftists" arguing with Black people online instead of knocking on those doors and organizing them votes and that's not helping Talarico get any closer to victory in November. Y'all got it, though.

This is why "progressives" hate Black people. It's impossible to win the presidential primary & primaries in certain states/CDs without strong support from Black voters. They hide behind code words like neoliberal, BlueMAGA & "establishment," but like in 2020, they eventually show their true colors.

Exactly - just muted a person who said he won without identity politics(?!). Meanwhile every ad was "she wont be able to win the general, but he can for....reasons (wink wink)" The core of his campaign was that Jasmine won't go very far because she's Black and Texans wont choose her

Our war with Iran is not Israel's fault. It is not Hakeem Jeffries's fault. It is not Chuck Schumer's fault. So stop that BS. It's trump and hesgeth's fault, and the fault of anyone who did not vote for VP Harris.

It’s wild how Project 2025 was the most white supremacist agenda in over a century and when Black ppl called it out and responded to the loss of jobs, DEI initiatives, and voting rights got shamed by alt leftists for being too caught up in the same identity politics used against us.

The DSA want to push Black and Jewish voters (and Members of Congress) out. This is a Harry Potter moment: the Dems and DSA cannot both live while the other survives. So, Dear Reder, which side are you on?

I made this before the Texas primary… posted on 2/21… If James won it would set the script for Joe the party will approach 2026-2028.. and the sidelining of Black voters would be validated if he won (he did) Because the party leaders & donors will fall to: “Who else will they vote for?” Listen

Wow, ok. Just fully hood off I see. "We're taking the party back from Black people." They weren't kidding about taking Dems back to the party of FDR.

My "next times" were up a long time ago. They show their whole asses, down to the deep crack, every time.

The usual sarcastic applause for GOP voters, nonvoters, most white voters, and a chunk of white-adjacent who also hate Black women.

It’s really shit like this that’s been especially exhausting and hurtful.

Anyway, so the next time there’s an outspoken Black woman in congress that white leftists praise endlessly, know that they’re full of shit. The very second she tries to seek higher office, they’ll not only do all the heinous shit they did this primary season, they’ll also say shit like this.

Rallying around a white guy while saying he's the only one who can win is also identity politics, but America pretends it isn't because the dominant culture sees "white male" as the default identity we should all admire and aspire to emulate.

do not bother a Black woman today. just don't. they do not need to hear anything you think you need to say.

💯

Every time, without fail.

White Texans, it is WILD that Black people are saying "ok, we hear you, we will vote for you, but we aren't going to be doing the voter outreach" and y'all are taking it as "they said they won't vote and want us to fail". Your expectation of Black labor is doing a LOT of heavy lifting here.

Black people are rightfully outraged because we see the party we’ve carried for decades slipping away to white supremacy. These people are on the verge of voting for an actual Nazi in Maine.

I never thought I would see the day that “democrats” were giddy over outright voter suppression. Are these folks insane? They hate BW in power so much that they don’t realize what just happened? They are literally telling you that 2 hours worth of votes will probably not be counted and y’all

We don't need your love. Black votes are currently being disenfranchised. Black votes are being suppressed. Get in the streets.

If you won’t vote for the more qualified Black woman (again) or rise in protest when a state election prevents Black votes from being counted then please, stop shouting ”Queen“ when a Black woman stands up and speaks truth to power because your disloyalty and lack of respect is embarrassing.

White progressives have been kind of gross toward Jasmine Crockett and her supporters. And yet, are going to expect Black voters to just fall in line in November. Which will be wild to watch from the "earn our votes" crowd. So, lots of luck with that.

They warned everyone. And now we are all paying the price for other people’s stupidity, racism, misogyny and hatred.

I need everybody to read this thread.

Nobody likes him, nobody wants to work with him, he got nothing done.

...This isn't a thirst account and I'm not going to turn it into one (for the forseeable future, anyway...). That said...

Bravo, leftists. Pure genius move. And unlike most of the GOP's bullshit, all of these claims are both accurate and in context. This is but a taste of what awaits EVERY Democratic candidate this fall.

See what I mean

Well, Platner is making himself clear and he's not saying away from it. If you are supporting this guy in any form, and platforming him, you ARE the problem and anyine with an ounce of respect for others and themselves, shouldn't ever consider listening to you anymore.

AOC should go ring up Elizabeth Warren and ask her how her presidential run went. Bernie and the Progressives were all-in on elevating Warren to the presidency...right up until Bernie decided he wanted another crack at it. Then they went all in on destroying her. AOC will be no different.

amazing how many people's principle actually turned out to be 'but the Nazi bar makes me feel cool and important'

Nothing I loathe more than lying racist antisemitic dirtbags pretending they can threaten anyone w/the withdrawal of their votes when they were never voting Dem in the first place. IF you vote for the Nazi, you're a Nazi, Devin.

When they pretend Dems haven’t been so effective Republicans have had to radically change Senate rules midterm. When they refuse to acknowledge Biden was the most progressive president in nearly a century…and they kicked him out anyway. These people are MAGA propagandists, and they KNOW it.

When they ignore that Trump loses 90%+ of the fights he starts. When they bleat about the magical powers of codification against SCOTUS. When they forget Dems have gotten more discharge petitions through this Congress than in all of history, combined.

When people spread the lie that Republicans are strong and Democrats are weak, they knowingly spread Republican propaganda. When they claim Dems never stopped McConnell. When they claim McConnell always blocked Dems. When they lie about Obama’s “supermajority.” When they claim Dems always lose.

I'm seeing a lot of hate aimed at US service members and veterans from a certain element on Bluesky today. Understand this: without a strong, standing military, young people are drafted into service when shit kicks off. If you think you're immune from that draft, I've got some bad news.

The burn it all down are quiet and you and I know none will volunteer to go fight..

personally I think if the Maine primary voters choose Platner, we will be entirely justified in judging them as people who, at the least, are fine with anti-semitism.
