She’s going to run the table on that debate stage based off this. Also she’s the right choice because with so much of the federal government decimated it would be best to have the VP from the last time it was functional there to repair it.

Exactly! And: 3rd highest number of votes in a presidential election in history with only 107 days. I'm just gonna keep saying it: SEVENTY-FIVE MILLION.

This is the same argument used against Crockett and it's the same kind of thing MLK talked about with White moderates. No, people should not have to be put aside for White comfort. If people aren't ready for a Woman President, then people aren't ready for having a proper country or Democracy.

I just had an idea. We should do something fun today instead of being bogged down in disturbing stuff. We should either order pizza or make our own pizza and then post about it in the thread and post pictures of it. Let's do it. I'm going to do it at least lol.

I love all of the people getting upset about this. She will have to compete in the primary like everyone else, so I have no idea why people are already getting upset about it.

I think the all White people is important. As soon as minorities start showing up in more numbers anywhere, White people start showing out.

The way these leftists are scrambling to explaining why the Gaza protesters aren’t giving Trump and the GOP the same smoke they gave Biden and Harris (and in the case of Harris continue to give) is hilarious. Y’all some punks and cowards for real.

I understand that a lot of Trump supporters are feeling betrayed. He didn't betray you beloved. You knew who he was and didn't care about the people he would hurt until he hurt you. You betrayed yourself. Own that shit.

Oh, OK. So that's why when Trump, Netanyahu, and Harris were all in the same city they went to protest the Black lady and not the President or the PM of Israel. I get the spirit here, Fuss, but that one incident just crystalizes why I refuse to give these people a benefit of the doubt.

It's incredible how privileged a lot of the takes on here are. People don't protest Republicans because they are scared for their own safety. Yet, they want Democratic politicians to do all of the activism instead and get arrested for it.

Man, I love to see people plastered having a good time as long as they aren't bothering anyone, but it just sucks when they are shitty human beings.

They also are low key (and sometimes not so low key) REAL resentful of that cause they don't think we're sufficiently lefty enough and that they ain't the center of attention. meanwhile I'll say it over and over. THE most radical left position in the US is that Black folks are equal and

It’s almost like we already knew that, but us white folks refused to vote for the qualified prosecutor with the economics degree because we’d rather destroy the world than allow anyone be treated the same as us (as we vote majority GOP EVERY election since the civil rights act - guess why).

Ended up making the dirty rice that @crystal4mvpharris.bsky.social posted. Not bad for a first try

And? I think it says a lot more about you that you are defending the very people who voted for that man by choosing to blame Democrats instead of the actual people that put him in power. Y'all don't want the actual racist ass voters to face any accountability whatsoever.

Today is one of those days where it's probably just better to stay off of Bluesky because it most certainly is Blueskying today. People posting vile things and then being surprised when they get called out on it. I also think we wouldn't have to be in this spot if better moderation existed.

Same shit different day. World War 2 was the war that everyone fought in trying to earn their equality and many gave their lives. They returned home in one way or another simply to find that White Americans didn't care. Ask the families of Felix Longoria and Isaiah Nixon how they were treated.

I don't like to quote dunk but I think it deserved to be said how terrified I can be if my car braking down in the wrong part of the country. I pass through Vidor often and my mom put the fear of God passing through there.

This tells me you don't know the terror of driving through the wrong part of the country at night.

Imma go against the grain and say these protests are a good thing. We just need more of it.

This basically populism in a nutshell. Give the people "what they want". It leads to shallow campaigns where people are basically voting on concepts of a candidate instead of anything concrete. It leads to people thinking that "fighting" is nothing more than dunks or saying the right thing.

This is how you know that anti Dem propaganda has cooked your brain.

When people talk about how Talarico will convince Christian nationalists, I am reminded about how White Christians in the South were EXTREMELY selective about what was preached towards slaves.

Yep, I guarantee you that this will affect Black women disproportionately.

I'm really digging this System shock remake. I was going to skip straight to the sequel but I'm glad I played this first.

Lot of hit dogs hollering in the quotes and replies

I worked hard to lower the cost of insulin for the over 100,000 Maine people living with diabetes, including signing a law years ago to cap the cost of insulin at $35/month for those on state insurance. I'll continue to advocate on their behalf in the Senate.

Get some passport stamps together? In this economy, with this administration, and these gas prices!?

I often think about how people vote for other people that won't ever accept them but merely tolerates them for votes. People volunteered to die in wars to be accepted and still were treated as less than. What makes people think that will suddenly change?

Man, there are two things I wish people would stop complaining about: The Last Jedi and the Resident Evil 3 remake. Let that shit go. It's been years.

Yet, the next No Kings rally is a week away. What do folks suggest they do? At this point the millions who allegedly oppose this administration should be taking to the streets, in sustained protests…daily, not demanding ~260 elected officials to do it for them. None of his appointees will be good.

Give it a few days.

The energy has definitely changed. It's changed yet White people are still running the same playbook expecting our votes.

Chris Murphy sucks. I don't like him. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I hate the series finale to Deep Space Nine so much. We and Sisko deserved a better ending than that.

Damn yesterday was a day of people calling out the lefts's antisemitic bullshit and I am here for it.

Went to my usual spot in Houston and found out that someone from the Pharcyde was guest djing.

She’s wholly justified.

The amount of people in my mentions because I said Talarico needed to earn my vote. It is so convenient that White people must be catered to and their vote earned, but Black people are just supposed to fall in line after the primary is over. Miss @brat2381.bsky.social was right. It's HYPOCRISY.

So you agree that Talarico needs to earn our votes. By the way, I never stated what you said in your second paragraph

You really should be having this conversation with White people that voted for Trump and continue to vote for Republicans.

That isn't the only question and you know it. White people constantly have to be catered to and centered or else they stay home or vote Republican. The moment Black people do it, then we get responses like this. It's HYPOCRISY. That man has done absolutely nothing to earn our votes.

Slopulism–and all populism, really—is terrible for democratic politics. But I won’t condescend to anyone by pretending individuals don’t have agency. We re-elected Trump. We have to live with that. www.liberalcurrents.com/iran-slopuli...

Intent doesn't matter, impact does. I refuse to believe that Talarico didn't know about what was happening but definitely stayed quiet about it. Why should I support someone who isn't going to actually stand up for us as a people?

So that makes it ok? There was actual harm done during this primary and Black people are pissed off. Talarico has done nothing to change that and has said nothing to denounce any of the things that surrounded his campaign. The thing that pissed me off the most is him lying about Morgan Thompson.

You can label me a wrecker account all you want. But the fact of the matter is that Talarico did poorly among Black voters and he needs that constituency to win Texas. He has yet to say or do anything to win our votes. Your response is about what I have come to expect from his defenders.

Her loss isn't hard to explain but I guarantee you that you won't actually accept the reason why she lost, because White people absolutely never want to actually confront their own racism.

James Carville and Keith Edwards to name a few. We literally had people saying not to give money to Crockett because she wouldn't win. You are having a thread confused about why Black voters in Texas didn't vote for Talarico, that is some of the reason.

Why do you think that is? Could it be perhaps that he surrounded himself with horrible people that promoted dogwhistles throughout the primary? I don't want to vote for him because he is taking Black people for granted and it's only now that he wants to outreach.

I really don't like senator Chris Murphy.
