"Legal votes" is code for "white votes."

"Illegal votes" is code for "Black and other unfavorable non-white votes."

Just auto replace these terms in your mind when you see them and many of the asinine comments about the election being thrown around will become clearer.

Many remarks make sense when you replace 50% of mentions of "socialism" w "more power & equity for POC."

McConnell saying "DC+PR statehood="full bore seizing the means of production" makes no sense.

But DC+PR statehood="full bore more power & equity for POC" does.

This "Lost Cause" isn't the Civil War: It's the Lost Cause of an America where the white man was the sole reigning order, & where the bloodstains white supremacy left on the soil of this land with genocide, slavery & apartheid went unchallenged. mississippifreepress.org/7085/gov-reeve…
