Apparently one of my threads went viral. So, cool. But what I found amusing about it is how much the Berniebros proved exactly what I was saying. I mean I literally told y'all that you try to silence women and people of color and y'all are up in my mentions telling me to shut up.
One of my friends pointed out that a lot of the attention I'm getting is just hate and she seems to be right. But on the other hand ... I'm not afraid of a bunch of white people disliking me. You won't be the first white person to try to look victimized after I've said something.
"If you strike me down I will become more powerful."

My followers have tripled in the past 24 hours or so. I'm sure some of those people are hoping to put me on a list but, in the DNC primary HRC won nearly 17 mil votes. I'm hardly the only person who espouses these views.
You have a responsibility to keep yourself. I'm not your mom and I don't have to make you happy. I also don't have to agree with you. If my commentary makes you so mad that you just rage tweet then ... don't read it.
I do wish many of you would really reexamine your position because honestly if your reaction to getting called out for racism is "reverse racism!!" then you have issues, but not everyone can be properly reflective. If you truly have nothing but rage and inaccuracy ... just go.
And as a last thought ... I read books and peer reviewed articles. I'm not going to sit down and read 1000 comments. And I most certainly am not going to respond to that many because particularly with all the bots and trolls it's just not worth it.
So for those of you, what I believe to be the majority who genuinely liked what I wrote thank you and I hope you stick around. It will be fun.

For those of you who lost your damn minds I'm afraid I just don't care enough about you to give you any advice or even block you.

Okay, I'm going to act as if this was asked in good faith. It wasn't, but let's pretend it was. "Codifying" something requires it be made law. That is not possible with McConnell and the filibuster. If the Senate becomes 2/3rds blue then it becomes a possibility, but not before.
This means that - no - Democrats are not responsible for not blocking the worst actions of Republican lawmakers UNTIL you put an overwhelming number of Democrats in office. Which means you can't go about bashing Democrats when you don't get your way.
But, okay, I'm getting a little side-tracked and I did promise to do this in good faith.

What she's ignoring here is that the Judicial, Executive, and Legislative branches of government are at least theoretically and constitutionally equal.

Okay yeah ... I'll be opening the library on AOC shortly. I stayed away because I hoped she'd learn how to govern, but she's far more of a far right asset than she has ever been a progressive. Yeah, I don't have a fraction of her platform but this is ridic.
Soooo ... this is going to be scattered because regardless of what the def totes fauxgressives and also feckin' QAnon will tell you, there is no massive Democratic cabal. Sorry.

So my complaints re: AOC do range. And I wanted to like her. I REALLY did. But ... oy vey.
I am a massive nerd and hard crushed on Madison when I read some of the Federalist Papers and realized he was very much for representatives looking like their population. Probably he himself really didn't mean that Congress should be about 14% black and half female but ...

Okay, so the openly racist misogynist crowing from fauxgressives when HRC won-lost in 2016 wasn't cute but I also didn't properly backhand those who indulged in it so ... we're doing this.

To all you trying to pretend "Bernie-woulda," no. But I will explain why.
This election is going to be DOWN TO THE WIRE, but if Biden takes PA and it is likely he will, he's got it. Yeah, it's really annoying that some 66 million Americans looked at a complete idiot who has cost them well over 230k fellow Americans and decided they'd still vote for him
The level of anti-American sentiment you must have to vote for Trump is just terrifying to contemplate on so many levels but just skating past the Lovecraftian horror there we all knew that there are diehard Republican voters and that white supremacy is a thing.

Per a conversation with @nonsanaementis I want to do a little vaccine thread and also make a prediction.

I predict that in the late afternoon of Friday, October 30th, Trump's going to lie that a vaccine has passed all its trials and is going into production. This will be false.
Not only will it be a lie but it will be one of the few lies Trump tells which is not merely an exaggeration of his own warped perception of the world but something he genuinely knows to be untrue.

But he'll say it anyway in a last ditch attempt to get people to vote for him.
As I have said repeatedly here and elsewhere vaccines necessarily go through extensive trials. Even a fast-tracked vaccine must pass a number of regulatory hurdles before it may be approved.

AND THESE HURDLES NECESSARILY TAKE TIME.

Okay guys. So ... it's a thread. And honestly ... this is a story that I need to tell you. There is no point nor lesson to be learned this is not scientific this is just a moment in time wherein I've discovered - yet again and also to my horror - that humans are weird.
So I like pinterest. It's ... relaxing to look at impossibly gorgeous sculptures adorable cats, recipes including ingredients I can't source, clothing I will never be able to afford or fit into, and crafting projects I realistically will never do.
They also have some really purty weapons. But ... judge me all you want. When I want to unwind, it is my version of a bubble bath and glass of wine.

Sooooo .... during the Holocaust the third reich had two pretty awful policies which I want to say a few words about.

1. they made it basically illegal for Jewish people to have nationality
and
2. they were all about "living room" for Germans and used that to justify invasion.
The second part basically gave them the excuse to put Slavic peoples in labor camps and by labor I mean constant heavy lifting from dawn to dusk on a diet of about 600 calories. With that said, if you were sent to a labor camp you had a chance albeit small of survival.
Later on - and this sealed the deal in the Nuremberg trials - it became clear that *even* in the so-called labor camps Nazis were just wholesale murdering people. And I realize I'm not saying anything revolutionary or surprising here but this is where we get back to point 1.
