The Midterms Are Our Chance To Vote Out White Supremacy

The results of the 2016 election felt like a punch to the gut. I remember feeling stunned, confused, and unprepared for what lay ahead. I learned in that moment, and in many moments since, that elections have consequences.

We enter the Nov. 6 midterm election ruled by a Republican majority carrying out a concerted voter suppression campaign and with a leader blatantly cultivating an environment of racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia and oppression. This must end.

**SNIP**

Since 2013, the #BlackLivesMatter movement and the Black Lives Matter Global Network and our allies have fought against attacks on black bodies and our communities. We have fought against police, vigilante, and state-sanctioned violence. We have brought focus to issues that disproportionately impact black people including the degradation of the environment, mass incarceration, the broken money-bail system, low wages and poverty. We uplift the working class. We celebrate queer, trans, femme and gender binary folks, and fight for immigrant rights. We center black joy.

Sounds like she needs to stop the cultural appropriation and use of anything invented by whites.

Let’s see, the list of inventions from her ancestral homeland is:

Exactly. I don’t even engage leftwingers on controversial topics.
They will just yell, shout profanities, and become unhinged.

I just quietly enter the voting booth and pull the correct levers.
No muss, no fuss, no talk. No bumperstickers or yard signs, either.

Yep, she’s all mouth, no brains.

What is white supremacy?

I just read the Declaration of Independence again and I am very familiar with the US Constitution, and that term does not appear in either. Both documents are color blind. Just what are we talking about??

There is no such thing as ‘White Supremacy’!

Go to Oslo, then go to Kinshasa.

Then get back to us.

Find another line of work, commie freak. And fix your stupid hair. You look like a commercial for dumb kids who stick butterknives in electric outlets.

🤣

Thread winner.

Bad hair.

So they’re complaining now that there are 5 states left that don’t have hate crime legislation. Really, these laws are disturbing because it treats different races differently under the law. Equal treatment is a cornerstone of the Constitution. Also the reason for the law is based on sentiment. The statistics show that “hate crimes” are disproportionately committed against whites, not blacks and minorities. This kind of two tier citizenship doesn’t sit well with me.

The day after an Anti-Trumper kills almost a dozen Jews ?

[TADSLOS]

LMAO.

I was not aware that anyone had “Voted-In” White Supremacy.

They voted in Woodrow Wilson.

But that was 100 years ago so I think we can hope they have learned their lesson about voting for democrats.

Blexit! Blexit! The new democrat fear!

What the hell is “ableism?”

[T-Bird45]

Reading this makes my schadenfreude overflow. Hope she gets a redux of those same feelings next Tuesday.

[Crucial]

The sexism and racism from the Left is greater by far.

Think you got the wrong guy, see my post.
