so 57,000 #uncommitted democrats in Michigan told Biden to stop supporting #genocide? y'all know he barely won Georgia (or was it Arizona) with less than 20K votes, right?
57,000 for Michigan is a big fucking swing vote.
we know these #primaries are bullshit. #Democrats blocked all contenders to manufacture these phony victories. so stop the "he's crushing it".
Biden doesn't have a 2024 mandate... yet.
BUT! the best news? looks like more Dems are voting in primaries than MAGA fash.
Y'ALL!
if the Democrats fuck it up as it is expected and dismiss the calls to stop the #genocide in #Gaza, #Uncommitted is gonna be a massive swing vote in Michigan.
12.7.% is way beyond the margin of error. that's a serious hemorrhage of votes.
THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE TO VOTE WITH YOUR PROTEST BOOTS ON.
corporatists think retiring 1% of the total of student debt is enough to buy people's silence over #genocide and a #ceasefire.
we know how to maths.
what part of
PROTEST AND VOTE
y'all don't understand?
ALSO,
white people coming to my mentions, downplaying the #genocide of people who look like me in #Gaza? all the while you have the Democrats' leadership co-signing one of the most harmful and anti-migrant #immigration packages that further criminalize people who look like me?
yeah. go fuck yourselves.
#Uncommitted is 300 votes from 80,000 in #Michigan. the campaign expected just 10K to show up.
HOLY SHIT!
#Uncommitted is now less than 3K votes to reach 100,000!!!
#Michigan ain't playing.
Democrats need to stop with the bullshit and take seriously #genocide.
#Ceasefire for #Gaza NOW!
@blogdiva got a few new blocks out of your replies thx
@waitworry @blogdiva Same; the two who seem to be mates especially.
The "blue line" will break, and with it Biden's Presidency, he has no-one to blame but himself, imagine if all those idiots yelling "4 more years", had of instead yelled, "shame on you Joe", being complicit in genocide is not respectable at all.
You get what you paid for.
(Yes Trump will be worse, but you gone stuffed up your whole shit-show, and with the fan it's spread all over the place).
DNC/White House Bunker Buddies really are going to make it clear there is no acceptable way to talk to them in which they have any intention to listen. Aren't they?
@chargrille it's infuriating.
There's no human resource to their left they're not willing to waste.
Their job is to keep the left out of power and they're excellent at it.
My main question here is: Will it be enough to jolt Biden into some degree of action; or, will it simply be washed away by the corporate media as just another speedbump in Biden's ascendency, and a sign that Gaza is less important than stopping Trumpster and the GOP?
Loyalist Democrats spraining their arms with back slaps and high-fives and woofing it up about defeating "Watermelon ISIS" does not give me hope.
@blogdiva With you until the "cancel student debt" part. Biden TRIED! SCOTUS shut it down! And instead of quitting, he's gone on to cancel as much student debt as possible via executive order! Biden's got ZERO fault and tons of credit on that issue.
@msbellows @blogdiva Agreed. People need some remedial civics lessons on how laws are made and what role the courts play in the system. You want progressive policies? Stop complaining and start electing Democrats everywhere. People whined about Hillary and stayed home or voted 3rd party and we got Trump, who promptly blew a huge hole in SCOTUS & appointed a gazillion lower court judges (e.g., Aileen Cannon). So a snit has cost us Roe and Gods know what else down the road (marriage equality?).
STOP SPREADING THIS FUCKING LIE
❝ People whined about Hillary and stayed home or voted 3rd party and we got Trump ❞
WE HAD RECORD-BREAKING VOTING IN 2016, AND MORE PEOPLE VOTED FOR CLINTON THAN TRUMP
you know what's a fact the whites often forget about 2016?
2016 WERE THE FIRST ELECTIONS AFTER THE ROBERTS COURT GUTTED THE #VotingRightsAct
2016 was perfect for republicans to use ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTES to steal, yet again, #POTUS elections.
SCOTUS got us Trump
@msbellows @Seilenos because to most non-PoC the #VRA means nothing to them. for most it’s an artifact of elementary school history books. remember that how it was written, oversight excluded most self-segregated suburban precincts.
fwiw: my mother’s 2nd husband was one of the authors of the Puerto Rican amendment to the VRA, which focused on linguistic discrimination.
most americans don't even know that happened and even less who made it possible.
@msbellows @blogdiva I made no assignment of race in my argument. If you're referring to more white folks sitting out or having unrealistic expectations, I'll only say that POC appear to have a better understanding that change is slow based on their own experiences, whereas white folk (esp. youth) may be more accustomed to instant gratification. But I could be wrong. Teaching civics in school can help people understand how the system works. But many older people seem to be ignoramuses, too.
