As if simply campaigning more in WI is gonna change the facts that 1) the WI GOP engages in widespread race based voter suppression and 2) the overwhelmingly White electorate created by suppression was too susceptible to racist/sexist propaganda to vote D by majority in 2016. 😒
They already hate you and your extra campaigning in WI, in advance.
These rust belt states aren’t turning red b/c White Democrats don’t campaign there enough. Pretending that we can solve the lack of diversity and preponderance of disenfranchisement and discrimination in WI, MI, PA or MN by simply shouting louder at the folk doing it is dumb af.
I’m not impressed or amused by this shit.
They still don’t have an adequate, non-toxic water supply in Flint, MI. They literally make these states inhospitable to Black ppl on purpose but folk still have the nerve to think the issue is centered on not having enough rust belt campaign stops. GTFOH.
I don’t wanna hear shit else about WI unless it includes a workable legislative solution to the GOP’s racist disenfranchisement that’s intentionally targeted at CORE Democratic constituencies. If we aren’t on the correct battlefield we’re surrendering.
While we’re on the subject, how much did Jill Stein campaign in WI? How much work did she have to do on the ground there to convince thousands of mostly WWC ppl to throw their votes in the trash and the entire election to Trump and Putin? Won’t be surprised if it wasn’t much...🙄
How much time are y’all willing to spend chasing these people who already told you they don’t want what the fuck you’re selling? If the answer is more than what you plan to spend on increasing youth and POC turnout and ending voter suppression I can’t take you seriously. Period.
Milwaukee, WI is the most racially segregated metro area in the country. Understand where you’re campaigning and be ready to address the systemic obstacles placed in the Democratic base’s way before you get there. jsonline.com/story/news/loc… via @journalsentinel
Why Is Milwaukee So Bad For Black People? n.pr/1M68Xgg
If you’re running as a Democrat but don’t have a plan in place to address the Jim Crow happening in all of the localities you’re campaigning in or the voter suppression that necessarily comes w/it, you don’t have a winning strategy or message for 2020 and more stops won’t fix it.
Stacey Abrams told y’all where to focus your time, money & energy but you don’t wanna listen or take heed because doing so requires adoption of an action plan that isn’t appealing to the vaunted WWC voters who created these racist separate and unequal conditions in the 1st place.

Thread of 🔥 Alert 🚨💣🕯🚀🔔
The thing that’s always struck me about this (not only as a Black woman but also as a psychiatrist IRL who’s literally tasked with helping people cope with stress, illness and the ups & downs of life) is the Black woman savior complex of it all. It’s subconscious but ubiquitous.
As with many things in America, I also think it’s yet another sociological phenomenon brought to us by slavery. A lot of White family systems fell apart (continue to) without the presence of a Mammy or some form of matriarchal Black help in the home. jstor.org/stable/2714687

Except for all intents/purposes, VA *was* TX not too long ago. The 2021 Gubernatorial election set back over a decade of hard-won progress by VA Democrats. It can happen in ANY historically or recently “blue” state at the drop of a dime, if enough White voters DEFECT/vote GOP. 🥴 ImageImageImageImage

Classes canceled in Chicago public schools as tensions escalate over COVID-19 protocols | via @Twitter twitter.com/i/events/14787… Image
The other thing to remember is #WeTriedToTellThem ALL of this shit was gonna happen (all over again) but HELL NO. This is yet another consequence of MAGAts who have both a death wish and outsized influence on every single public/private system in 🇺🇸 running the asylum. 🤡👹👺🦊 ImageImageImageImage

Adding this here b/c it’s really important that we also recognize how the toxic/violent masculinization of GOP women voters also extends to #MAGAWoman elected officials. They’ve created an army of Ashli Babbitts who aid/abet the radicalization of their menfolk & themselves. 👹🤡
By now we’ve seen too many GOP/GOP adjacent mothers/wives/girlfriends either completely “overlook” the extremism in their midst or actively enable and facilitate the obstinance/defiance and evasion of consequences that leads to White, right wing domestic terrorism. #VanillaISIS
The thing that really chaps my hide about it is I’ve heard Republicans vilify Black family values & label us criminals/social deviants my whole life, yet here they are breeding & grooming the most PROLIFIC White domestic terrorists America’s ever seen and the NARRATIVE is SILENT.

Is this snark or legit “not all White people” in *my* TL in the year of our Queen Betty White’s 2022?! 🤷🏾‍♀️🧐 #DyingOfWhitenessWithJonAndJane
Asked & answered. 🙄💅🏾☕️🧾🌴 #ScreenshotsAreForever #Bloop
I can assure you you’re roasting your own self, dear. 🥴 Deplorable and unexamined White privilege are a CHOICE, they go together like PB&J.
