Be wary of folk who caution against alleged “infighting” within the Democratic Party like its apparatus wasn’t just hijacked and ratfucked by “Independent” insurgents in 2016. Mistaking saboteurs for allies for the sake of optical unity isn’t prudent, it’s political suicide.
These people aren’t even registered fucking Democrats, nor do they understand the most basic civil rights tenets of the party platform. The absolute LAST thing the party base is gonna do is let them strong arm us into assuming a new identity in order to chase after White bigots.
You can’t be willing to compromise on civil/human rights and still call yourself a Democrat. That’s not how any of this shit works and the folk who still wanna try it so damn hard while fascism and apartheid are afoot can’t be trusted. Run tell that.
Essentially what these jerks are saying is that even though we have definitive proof of a race based cyberattack waged on social media, election systems and the DNC/RNC, we’re supposed to just let our guard down now and trust any old mofo who claims to be “on the left”.
Hell NO.
Hell NO.
The marginalized groups who have comprised the BASE of the Democratic Party for the last 50+ YEARS have every fucking right to thoroughly vet *anyone* who seeks to use our political might and infrastructure to seek their ends.
Stop getting it twisted.
Stop getting it twisted.
It isn’t infighting to make sure that the folk you’re taking with you into battle won’t abandon you in the foxhole when the actual war breaks out. Survival means knowing who your opposition is but also who your #weakassunreliableallies are.
I have no fucking problem doing an assessment of whether or not you’re likely to throw me and my family/patients/friends under the bus whenever it suits your privilege. If you have a problem with that IDGAF.
I’m not muting myself for these assholes, if they don’t respect MY human rights I don’t want any parts of their fake resistance.
It can’t be called infighting when they ain’t ever been “in”.
Stop pawning these intersectionality challenged people off on us, we don’t even want them in the tent.
