I’ve gotten a few hundred new follows in recent days so this feels like a good time to inform y’all that not only is this an anti-Trump account, it’s anti-Bernie too. Thx, congrats on the twofer, welcome aboard, and if you can’t handle either of the above kindly see yourself out.
I won’t waste your time and energy #onhere and I sure as fuck won’t let you waste mine. Count on it.
Count me in this number and #ExpectUs.
LOL I’m now plus ~1500 since I posted this last night. Don’t ever let them tell you we aren’t legion or proud. They routinely exclude our POV from the national conversation but we still have the immense power of our votes and peaceful protest. Our strength is our numbers, y’all.
Someday we’ll have to have a grown up conversation about how the MSM perpetually ignores the voices of not only people of color but also White people who go against the grain of White patriarchy on the both the left and right. Their attempts to erase us reveal their insecurity.
I still prefer to call it the Obama coalition, but ultimately it’s a multicultural collection of historically marginalized groups and Reliable White Allies™️ who vote pragmatically and intersectionally for socioeconomic justice and equal human rights. We voted for Hillary.
In fact, we were and still are the American majority but you wouldn’t even know it from listening to the MSM narrative that’s spun almost exclusively by White men on the left and right who bring us the “news”. They still can’t/won’t cover a story that doesn’t center their POV.
It shouldn’t STILL be a shock or surprise that the base of the Democratic Party stands firmly in it’s rejection of the politics of White male rage and resentment as it is stoked and espoused by Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders. The 2016 vote tallies speak for themselves.
Going forward they will continue to legitimize the myopia that caused this disaster in hopes of repeating the disaster over again. They have the luxury and privilege of never learning from their mistakes and making them over and over again without suffering any consequences.
They will continue to pretend that Democrats don’t have a “clear message” and that simply just being opposed to the rank incompetence and cruelty of White male supremacy isn’t a valid position to take or a means to build a winning coalition. They will be WRONG habitually.
They will count us out because they don’t want to count us at all.
#ExpectUs anyway. 🔥

Don’t ever let Bros on the left or right convince you that you and others like you don’t exist in enough numbers to matter or that the life experience attached to your identity is less relevant than theirs. Be proud to be an ally and a member of the reality based community.
