In an airplane disaster you are supposed to put on your oxygen mask first before trying to assist anyone else.
This is a tweet about Americans worried about Gaza.
@lalitchan@Yeenie_Mcbeenie Between the cost of appeals, legal fees and extra security needed for death row inmates, executing someone is more expensive on average than life imprisonment. This is very common knowledge
Black voters--especially those in southern states--don't have the luxury of fucking around and treating politics as a socialist experiment; they see the very real consequences of republican governance on a daily basis, unlike white leftists in NYC.
@admcrlsn You know how in an airline disaster you're supposed to put your mask on before helping someone else?
In case you haven't noticed things are pretty bad here so maybe folks are a bit more worried about that right now
Leftists took an issue that has absolutely NO tangible effect on people's day to day lives and made it their central tenet and then are confused why they have a messaging problem
Does anyone know the last time Haley Stevens has actually, of her own accord, spoken about Israel, Gaza, or the West Bank?
Just feels like her entire campaign has basically been “hey voters, look at this shiny distraction so you forget that I voted to send your tax dollars to fund weapons that Israel has used to blow up Palestinian children” while AIPAC pounds the airwaves on her behalf — talking about everything under the sun *except* for Israel/Palestine because they know it’s electoral kryptonite for her.
The Blk church women yall keep calling old, centrist and outta touch are the BASE because they do the WORK period. It’s less about how the demographic votes & more about HOW THEY MOBILIZE. Online lefties cosplay as the base but you don’t get to be the base without doing the work
Black people are wary of populism because the idea that all of our problems come from one tiny parasitic elite doesn't comport with the Black experience at all.
Black Voters treat politics like a Job Interview not a popularity contest.
We typically admire:
-Long Governing Resumes
-Pragmatic Decionmaking
-History of community appeals
-Racially conscious policy
It is not about moderation.
It is about being there b4 you needed our vote.
i feel like a lot of people have a hard time wrapping their minds around the fact that because basically almost all Black voters are Democrats, while the median Black voter is to the left of the median white voter, the median Black Democrat is to the right of the median white Democrat
I really can't fully express the despair that comes with spending years recycling, using public transport, installing energy saving bulbs etc only for some tech cunt to release an app which uses the energy budget of a small country to generate AI cuck porn.
This is rich coming from a Democrat. I think you should keep your mouth shut and remain quiet on this one after the Biden saga. You don’t have any moral authority to have an opinion on this.
More from MS NOW: President Trump plans to deliver a Thursday evening speech addressing newly declassified intelligence reports that the White House asserts reveal plans by foreign nations to interfere in the 2020 election, according to two White House officials granted anonymity to discuss internal plans. @jake__traylor
