“The Met Gala is so elitist and detached.”
No, I’m sorry, you’re not annoyed with the Met Gala because it’s elitist.
I can accept other reasons like annoyance over Jeff Bezos funding it. Fine. That’s valid.
But claiming it’s broadly elitist because celebs wear fun and interesting costumes on a red carpet is not why you’re annoyed.
You watch millionaire athletes compete against each other in stadiums and ballparks owned by billionaires who price out working class families because they want more perks for wealthy sports fans.
You voted for a fake billionaire who is obsessed with gold-plated furnishings and elective plastic surgery.
You listen to bro podcasters who are millionaires and ludicrously removed from the problems facing working class families, who then try to pit you against other working class families.
And you love all that. You can’t get enough of it.
You’re not annoyed because the Met Gala is “so elitist.”
You’re annoyed because it’s too feminine-coded and queer-coded for your taste, and the thought that, somewhere, women and queer people are having a good time gets on your nerves.
So, just say that.
Grab your fragile nutsack and have the balls to be honest about why you have no issues with conservative men enjoying themselves in wealthy settings but you draw the line at women and queer people.

For having a filibuster-proof Supermajority and doing absolutely nothing with it

@carbone_nikolas Hii!! I live right next to the Walk.
There’s over 2000 stars and there is PLENTY of space for more.
English

Do they just keep extending the walk longer with new stars? Or do they replace old stars with new ones? Genuinely curious

@thepondering_ Please explain to me why leftists should vote for moderates
English

I've peeped some Twitter liberals in my timeline hint or say outright they won't vote for Platner over Collins
To which I remind you all: VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO CUTS BOTH WAYS
If leftists should vote for moderate nominees (they should), moderates should vote for leftist ones

Maine, let’s send an oyster farmer to the U.S. Senate—and kick out Susan Collins.

Let me address the Black community real quick.
Some of y’all “vote warriors” get on my last nerve. Because what I’m seeing is this: a lot of y’all treat voting like it’s a sport. Like it’s just something you’re supposed to do, no matter what, no questions asked.
I recognize that a lot of y’all vote out of obligation because of what our ancestors went through. And yes, that history matters. But voting is not just a rite of passage. It’s supposed to be a tool. It’s supposed to be strategic.
Meanwhile, there are people like me, Black leftists, who take voting seriously as part of a larger fight for real democracy. But a lot of y’all Black liberals are just voting out of habit and calling it activism.
It’s the same reason you’ll say “vote blue no matter who,” but in the same breath admit that not everybody Black is for us. If you can recognize that about Black people, why can’t you recognize that not every Democrat is for us either?
Y’all love to act like you’re warriors for voting rights, but you’re treating it like a game. Our ancestors risked and lost their lives for liberation, not just participation. But a lot of y’all just want comfort. You don’t want to disrupt anything. You don’t want to struggle. And the truth is, sometimes you have to go through the ugly to get what we actually deserve.
Our ancestors fought for Black liberation, but what we got came with constraints and means testing. And now Black leftists are trying to push us beyond those limits, while a lot of y’all are comfortable staying inside them.
We’re never going to move forward if we keep voting for anybody just because they have “Democrat” in front of their name, especially when they’re not willing to challenge a system that was built on racist foundations and still operates on racist rules.
Ask yourself this: why is it that every time we need policies that would actually move us forward, we get means-tested half-measures instead? Just enough to say something was done, but never enough to actually change our conditions.
Universal healthcare would lift a huge number of Black people out of medical debt. Tuition-free college would help address the student debt crisis that disproportionately affects us. We are among the poorest groups in this country, yet many of y’all stand next to white liberals calling these policies “too radical” or “unrealistic.”
But let’s be real. The Black Panther Party was advocating for these kinds of policies. Malcolm X spoke on these kinds of issues. Martin Luther King Jr. was pushing toward economic justice and the Poor People's Campaign before he was killed.
These ideas are not new. They are part of our history.
But somewhere along the way, a lot of Black people shifted away from that and settled into moderate liberalism without realizing that liberalism has often meant maintaining limits on our liberation, not removing them.
And that’s the problem.

@flywithkamala Because she promotes herself as progressive, yet, she doesn’t want universal healthcare or free education or has any plans to take on private equity groups that monopolize housing. Oh and she’s a war criminal

@RoosterPrime @flywithkamala She is not an extreme radical communist. She is corporate centrist.
English

@flywithkamala Maybe because she is an extreme radical communist with an IQ of room temperature.

@ajalexander944 Hi. Leftist here. I disagree with WAY more than 10% of Harris’ policies and many corporate dems policies. They aren’t progressive. They keep the status quo of what MAGA has made.
English

Booker is so right about this. You may disagree with Harris on 10% of her views, but you let someone EVIL get in the Oval Office who you disagree on 100% of his views??? See the problem of the Dem Party, especially the far leftists. Something is really WRONG with the Leftists.🤦♂️
best of kamala harris@archivekamala
.@CoryBooker: “You may disagree with her [Kamala Harris] on 10% of her views, but you let someone get in office who you disagree with on everything. You let somebody get in office who is locking up our children. You let somebody in office who is taking away our healthcare.”

If trump can lose as THE SITTING INCUMBENT PRESIDENT in 2020 and come back and win, then Kamala can run again after only having 107 days.

SHE LOST TO TRUMP. You cannot run for election again thinking you will win this time when you lost.
