Explain how the alt left thinks repeatedly choosing a natural born *Independent* alienator (who masquerades as a D when convenient) to represent all of *their* socialist hopes and dreams in a Democratic primary but who goes on to become radioactive in the general is a good thing.

Seriously the level of magical thinking and mental gymnastics folk are doing just to evade confrontation and exploration of the simultaneously batshit crazy AND exponentially racially charged political climate we’re ALL facing in the ‘22 midterms is viscerally RIDICULOUS.

While y’all were #onhere making up complete bullshit about what happened in PA, the MSM *AND* GOP were already spinning the narrative of this race around the same “economic anxiety”/White grievance tropes from yesteryear. Case in point, the @nytimes:

Bonus points for everyone who immediately recognizes the above Fetterman narrative as basically the EXACT SAME thing they said about both Bernie and Trump re: appealing to downtrodden “working class voters” who think Democrats are too “professorial”, “elite” and “inauthentic”.

It’s such an insidious narrative because clearly a shit ton of White liberals are either completely incapable of seeing it at all or they see it but refuse to make dire adjustments to their “strategic” plans for the general based on reasoned feedback from the *Democratic base*.

Of course the reason I know they refuse said D base feedback is because I’ve been trying to educate them for going on 7 YEARS and they STILL can’t handle it or make dire adjustments. It’s a pervasive pattern of behavior which is why I have file cabinets of 🌳🧾s on the topic.

Always be mindful of the troll fuckery and overall aura of condescension b/c it’s essential for the recipe of these types of clusterfucks. They always accuse the literal MOST RELIABLE Democratic bloc (read Black women) of being dumb as fuck and short sighted. Quintessential Bern.

As if somehow WE’RE the ones who aided and abetted the election of fascism. 🙄 Just the insult of the accusation alone should be illustrative of the level of gaslighting we’re contending with here, and NONE of this shit bodes well in the slightest.

Bottom line is it is NOT and NEVER will be Black voters’ job or desire to save White voters from themselves or their impractical votes in primaries or general elections. We couldn’t even if we tried because their impractical ass votes are actually *weapons formed against US*.

“Probably good” according to whom? If you ask *Democrats* of ANY ethnicity (namely @BetoORourke) in Southern/red “racist states” we’ll unequivocally tell you appealing to racists ain’t a good strategy. That would make us Dixiecrats which is 🟰 to, if not *WORSE* than today’s GOP.
