This is how Gen Z feels and how can you blame them?
I can’t say I disagree with her on some of the points she makes.
The old farts in DC are all going to get voted out in the next couple of elections
Younger people will demand change.
The system is failing them
Socialism boils down to the belief that your labor should actually be used to improve your life, not to enrich a shareholder group on Wall Street that you’ll never meet.
The country’s highest profile Democratic politicians spent the day valorizing Dick Cheney while Democratic voters were busy electing Zohran Mamdani.
Let that sink in.
If there was a Chris Rufo of the left who could make strategic decisions and actually marshall action, she would say right now that defending Platner is not only important as the best way for Dems to win the Maine Senate seat, but also is strategically imperative in order to strip the party establishment of the most potent tool it wields against the left, weaponized identity politics.
Demonstrating that that cancel-dog no longer hunts will require party bosses to argue on the merits. And the party base wants Platner's platform, not that of Mills, who has blocked more progressive change in Maine than she has supported. They fear a level playing field.
Remember that cancel culture/ID politics was supercharged by the Hillary Clinton campaign, which argued that, okay, yes, you might like Bernie's platform but his young male supporters are white and male and angry and racist and sexist and did we mention white and male. That cynical gambit sent the party spiraling into the ditch it's in now.
Strip them of that weapon and all that's left is their big donors, who grassroots Dems hate and can match dollar-for-dollar with small contributions.
This part is always so funny because it’s so cold lol They’re just shedding on auto-pilot. & when you’re cold and you’re singing with somebody else that’s cold too, it makes you want to sing more because everybody’s cold lmaoooo Cold
The Congressional Black Caucus does more for Israel than it does for Black Americans or the United States. The majority of our Black leaders are bought off by foreign interests while they sit at home trying to admonish anyone who dares speak up about the fact they don’t do shit for us.
If the fascists want a white supremacist government, let them do their worst.
The rest of us are the majority. It’s time to act that way.
Deprive the racists of their authority by repurposing ours. Get involved. Vote with your ballots, your dollars, your feet, your bodies.
Entertainers and athletes, respect yourselves, your families, your communities and all decent people by repurposing your labor. You’ll still make your money. You’ll still get your education. In fact, it will be better than it would’ve been otherwise.
Let the death rattle of white supremacy be followed by the renewed song of freedom. Watch what happens.
When I found out that the so-called leader of the House Democrats, Hakeem Jeffries voted yes on a resolution to honor the legacy of Charlie Kirk, it disturbed me.
Hakeem voted to honor a man who spent his whole life being a hateful racist, tearing down Blacks and marginalized people.
So, our Democratic leadership decides to bow down and co-sign a measure that gives a day of recognition to a dedicated racist?
If there ever was a time to show your backbone, this was it. This wasn't about empathy or sympathy. The honoree didn't believe in it. It was about showing your mettle as a leader.
The Republicans really don't need to oppose the Democrats. We're gonna do it for them. For me, this was a very weak thing to do. The "Turning the Cheek" days are long gone. Republicans don't give a damn about your kindness, only weakness.
At this point, the Republicans are asserting their will on the Democrats and we're allowing it.
One thing for sure is that the Democrats need leadership who aren't afraid and refuse to avert their eyes from their racist opposition.
That's just my opinion.
Charlie Kirk was an unrepentant racist, transphobe, homophobe, and misogynist who often wrapped his bigotry in Bible verses because there was no other way to pretend that it was morally correct.

The calls for violence & civil war you see online in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk assassination, are being pushed by troll & influence networks based in Israel, Russia, Iran and India. They are all trying to get you to go kill your neighbour, and further destabilize the USA.
