Perspective - Election

Have heard many conversations around race and the election in the office recently. Prompted by derogatory comments by Republicans about minorities and majority-minority countries. I believe these comments are downplayed. Many people are stuck in their NYC bubble, where things are very progressive. When the majority of the country is very racist. Growing up in the Deep South and traveling across the country, I could tell you stories that would make a grown man cry. Systems like Jim Crow only ended a few decades ago and we can’t ignore the continued impact they’ve had. It’s important to not ignore others struggles, and the influence ignorant comments can have on our nation. Hopefully, no matter who wins the election, our country becomes less divisive

No, you could not. This never happened. You're welcome to move to another country though if you think opportunities are better for you elsewhere. Yes I am denying your "lived experience" because it never happened. Please graduate from undergrad first and get a job.

 

A certain amount of the Trump vote was racist spiteful backlash against Obama, especially because he made Bush look like such a fucking dope by comparison because he could speak in complete sentences and wasn't a drunk.  Now Kamala about to make both of these dickheads Biden AND Trump look like drooling fucking morons.  I wonder what the backlash will be next time, white supremecists going to reconstruct Adolf's DNA and clone him?  Not sure how much farther right you can go.

I'll say this much: liberals are going to be disappointed by Kamala because 1) Congress will be deadlocked and nothing will get passed and 2) she's a corporate democrat anyway.  Every 4 years the democrats pretend to give a shit but by any objective measure they're only "less right wing" than the GOP.  I have to be honest, once you spend a lot of time outside of the "US media partisan bubbles echo chamber reality simulation"....America looks positively dystopian. American parties are so similar trump was able to switch from democrat to republican and no one even blinked.

Here, let me pollute the minds of the young and impressionable, this is the real world political spectrum:

The real spectrum

I CAN ALREADY FEEL SOME 4CHAN INCEL HEADS EXPLODING WHILE THEY READ THIS AND IT'S HILARIOUS

No way Commaluh wins, trump will win because she’s a bad candidate and only got 1% when she ran for president. No one likes her and it’s all about the vibes. Trump is great at faking it and being a showman and that’s all the US cares about

 

Meanwhile Democrats just pay lip service to the issues impacting minority voters, especially black americans.

Happy to play up and ride the 'police brutality' wave in 2020 to get voters to the polls. Of course demoralizing police, pulling funding, and letting the bodies pile up in urban areas? Eh those lives dont matter too much

Same for jobs. Happy to roast trump with his comments on black jobs but Republicans are again absolutely correct on that issue

Identity politics is a crutch when you got nothing else
