anyway

you’re either terribly uninformed or willfully ignorant. lack of transportation, accommodation, childcare, time off work, current identification all contribute. gerrymandering minimizes the effects of successfully voting as well.

also, you’re not helping anything.

i don’t give them money but i’m on their email list. i just saw a request to donate that i dismissed and it went right to the article.

i have never known the intercept to paywall stuff?

honestly, that’s bullshit. i dunno if i’m just taking something too literally here, but no.

except that it suggests bipoc people have value and contribute meaningfully to our country.

why not? serious question, i don’t really know a lot about military leadership.

to me, it seems like a good thing if lots of people refuse to cooperate, refuse to be made instruments of this regime. enough people refuse and the regime is disempowered.

maybe, i’m not sure. but those stats up there suggest maybe they are not willing to sacrifice themselves after all. i hope we can help them understand that society doesn’t have to be a zero-sum game, which is what i think many of them have believed.

they were also children, presumably echoing the narratives of their parents. it is not a foregone conclusion that they are incapable of empathy.

nah, i also enjoy pointing and laughing when i see a cybertruck on the highway

edit (and at the people driving them)

i gotta be honest, i’m not entirely sure what is intended. this decision doesn’t make sense to me!

my tamagotchi 😢

my stepdad had a round tuit. you can buy them!

and i will see it repeated endlessly online over the next several years, paired with a lot of “serves them right” style comments.

it doesn’t help women or anyone else.

this is not the way forward.

fucking gross.

edit - i work with dv victims/victims of abuse. tell me why your “lol comment” is any better than the shit women tell me every day they hear from their abusers?

which truth is that, that no one hates women like other women?

look at the current climate, i see a lot of woman-hating from all sides, including supposed allies on the left looking for a scapegoat. the oversimplified victim-blaming of dumping our president-elect at the feet of women (again) demonstrates very little understanding of gendered power dynamics and very little effort to build coalition.

to this i would add the threads blaming racial and ethnic minorities, the poor, and the poorly educated.

do you want less suffering in the world, or are you no better than the right in looking for someone to blame, and someone whose suffering you can enjoy because, “they asked for it, they voted for it, they deserve it?”

as i just said in another comment, it scares me to see this shit AGAIN.

this narrative is not making women any safer!

i really love seeing this narrative again. i watched it last time he was elected, now i’m watching it again. it’s the left’s own brand of mysogyny, and it’s not making women any safer.
