.Apparently a clutch of fauxgressives decided to do the "BWHW" thing along with "corporate whores" and "it was rigged" on another social media platform I frequent, and on the page of a POC who just won a primary. Astonishingly enough (not) they are overwhelmingly white. 😏
.They seem to still have utterly missed the point of the repercussions of the 2016 election, and just don't care anyway. Their obsessive focus on the assumed instant corruption of candidates who accept corporate $ blinds them to the basic human rights that progressive dems are (2
.working to live through. They don't seem to care that WW are phoning cops on POC for just breathing, or that LGBTQ are likely to lose the right to marry, or that the supreme court is about to go back to the stone age under this admin, and don't take any responsibility for it (3)
.Or that WM,are banging on the doors of Hispanic citizens and threatening them for playing cultural music, that the military is kicking out immigrants, and parents are losing their children at the border for no legal reason. They don't care that trans people are getting (4)

.One can't be a real progressive of they chose to actively dismiss, ignore and or ridicule the concerns and voices of the marginalized. It really is that simple. Most progressive change in our country has come about at the hands od a diverse group of people who generally (9)
