I am an atheist black dude who has become disillusioned with hard left but still likes ideas of social democracy, more socialization of the economy, and progressive policy. Democrat voter, swing state

Wes Moore, Roy Cooper, Andy Beshear fan

Open to data, compromise, & debate

Leftism really selects for terminal losers

@Azure_HF @johnjames96v @tragic_endings_ .

[Iceman @Kenotype1]

@johnjames96v @tragic_endings_ And before you say it yes, Dem doesn't mean progressive but Republican does mean conservative. You HAVE to explain why the other races of men all vote more Republican which makes them fascist adjacent, not JUST why black right leaning ppl vote Dem

[🗡️🗡️ @femmevillain]

the leftists who have lived in blue states all their lives getting on here grandstanding "you're all idiots. nothing will change" ....yeah respectfully this ain't about you lmao. texas has been red my entire lifetime and you are insane if you think blexas isn't worth celebrating.

[nazzo @nazzobetweeting]

you can just tell that these fringe lefties are so maladjusted by this kind of rhetoric. you genuinely do not participate in the world like a normal person. sports are a global unifier lmao

[Iceman @Kenotype1]

@gaythatcouldnot @tragic_endings_ @johnjames96v But ofc if I repeatedly bring up this variable I'm ignored or called not systematic enough when I'm literally just defending an entire race from bring called conservative when all indicators tend not to show this

[Iceman @Kenotype1]

@gaythatcouldnot @tragic_endings_ @johnjames96v Ppl are just angry black America votes less for Republicans than even queer folks. Even issue by issue polling data would not answer my question why there's more votes for the fascist side there (even if voting Dem is not some progressive indicator, voting Rep is damning)

[Iceman @Kenotype1]

@gaythatcouldnot @johnjames96v @tragic_endings_ That's a dumb take, clearly I came with stats. They just make you uncomfortable. It doesn't make black people or black straight people better than queer people but it DOES refute the idea that they're somehow OBJECTIVELY more right wing than queer folks which is what I debunked

[Iceman @Kenotype1]

@NagashReturns @oooofyyyy @toxicspikes_ Yes but black culture disproportionately so. Most ppl can name much more "Americana" that is actually black (rock, rap, soul food, most southern food, most dance trends) than say, German (burgers, kindergarten) which is a top ethnic group in the US

[Iceman @Kenotype1]

@Yo2084356110777 @johnjames96v @tragic_endings_ Voter data compares those who vote in one community vs others who vote in their community....so that'd apply to the queer folks too

[Iceman @Kenotype1]

@kIsses4mxve @gayerfemfaegoat @YAOIPATHY Idt straight ppl are superior and typically they're far more bigoted but the numbers just don't show that black straight people (definitely not black people generally) are more right leaning than queer people generally.

[Magdi Jacobs @magi_jay]

The fact that I want Democrats to win elections against Republicans doesn't make me a "moderate."

[Iceman @Kenotype1]

@Llghtnlng_Blade Also important, why do said communities have higher rates of voting Republican?? Even if being a dem doesn't mean you're progressive, being a Republican FOR SURE means you're fascist adjacent

[Iceman @Kenotype1]

@johnjames96v @tragic_endings_ You're too stupid for this conversation. The question is why are black people voting less Republican than queer people are? And if you isolate it to black men vs queer people as a whole it's even.

[Iceman @Kenotype1]

@johnjames96v @tragic_endings_ And before you say it yes, Dem doesn't mean progressive but Republican does mean conservative. You HAVE to explain why the other races of men all vote more Republican which makes them fascist adjacent, not JUST why black right leaning ppl vote Dem

[Iceman @Kenotype1]

@tmoneydamaster4 This isn't even a knock to queer folks generally but assuming they're inherently more progressive than black people is a reach!

[Iceman @Kenotype1]

@tmoneydamaster4 Yes this person keeps dodging me when I mentioned how white queer people vote more Republican than black folks and even if Dem voting isn't inherently progressive, Republican voting is inherently right leaning. Also 5% is literally where statistical significance starts!

[Iceman @Kenotype1]

It's been quite nice to see us take some people to task on here lately

[Iceman @Kenotype1]

One thing I'm actively excited for is the injection of intelligent black people into leftist spaces. And I don't mean like sell out black people but actual black people who want to establish ourselves and understand the game.
