Hard to imagine anything much weirder than wanting to present oneself as racist in front of an African-American journalists association. Pretty much guaranteed to get a hostile reception when you do that.

I never thought I’d see the day, that he is on the backfoot. Kamala has him shook.
In the span of a week I’ve gone from doom scrolling to excitement. I hope the Dems don’t fuck it up.
While I do agree I also want to make it clear I’m not expecting a revolution if Kamala is elected. I’m excited for the chance to get off the back foot and hope our country can start making progress again. It may be cynical, but I pretty much expect second term Obama again.
For more information on what I’m talking about check out FD Signifier’s video about Kamala. I don’t agree with everything he said, but he has good points.
I totally agree. I remember all those years ago and Kamala was too conservative for me, but after nearly 10 years of this I am humbled. She will be status quo leaning towards green policies, but not a democratic socialist revolutionary. I’m still fucking excited! Maybe the most I have been since I could vote.
I am also still excited, but I can’t bring myself to let my excitement over take me. I didn’t vote for a president until Obama, and I was in my late 20s early 30s at that point. I say this for transparency because I’ve never liked voting for the “lesser of two evils”. I voted for Obama because it was historic, but also because I thought long and hard and realized that not voting would hurt the chances of anything changing for the better. The worse things get the harder it is to make it better. Like a dirty house that doesn’t seem worth cleaning eventually there is trash everywhere and the only answer is to either move out or demolish the house. I’m too old and poor for either of those options now. So my choice is to do what I can to maintain the house long enough for younger generations to do what I couldn’t.
I realize that this may be an unrealistic pipe dream, but I have faith that younger generations can do it. We just have to not let the fascists win.
As I read your first paragraph I was reflecting on FD Signifier’s vid.
He makes you think and he makes solid points. Only found him recently, but I enjoy his stuff. B side and otherwise.
I also only found him recently because I normally don’t go to YouTube for that kind of content. He just popped up in my feed one day because of a video about Drake (side note, Kendrick vs. Drake ruined the feed I had going, lol) and I’ve been a fan since then. I have actually contemplated getting Nebula just to get similar content that isn’t controlled by big brother Google.
It truly is amazing. A little over a week now and if Kamala isn’t the favorite she soon will be. Money, enthusiasm and volunteers ramping at unreal speed. Fast
She knows how to fuck with him.
She’s not afraid to get down in the mud with him if need be. When fascists become deeply entrenched, that’s where you have to go to fight them.
