So I got this totally charming and not racist woman from @TYT on my timeline and she’s been insulting me for a couple hours and I don’t know I just get the feeling she might not be a great advocate for the Black community. Call me crazy.
I fear for any Black man she’s ever worked with. I get the feeling she’s told more than one supervisor she feels “uncomfortable” around us.
And no I’m not contacting her employer. She works for Cenk lol. You know he don’t give a f*ck.
Now this totally nice and not racist lady has said “#KHive loves to wish school shooting survivors had died” and I asked her for receipts and she posted screenshots of two people who aren’t in #KHive and certainly didn’t wish death on anybody. This was her response.
So this totally nice and not racist lady has a tell when she deals with Black men. Lemme see if you can spot it.
Now mind you I asked her something totally unrelated.
I guess my point here is that these folks REALLY don't like us. So when you hear them talking about "fighters" just know they're not fighting for us. They never will fight for us. They spend too much time fighting against us to not notice it.

Just FYI Hawley is the guy some of the loudest voices on the left helped get elected because Claire McCaskill was supposedly a no good and rotten corporate Dem centrist. They’re still pretty unrepentant about it too. Think it’s hilarious she lost and he is what replaced her.
The idea that the only thing wrong with the Democratic Party (and it’s base of Black women) is we need a younger whiter coalition inspired by the crossest old white man in Vermont to lead it is deeply offensive to me and it should be to you.
It’s like “boy you really have a nice house here. If only you had someone worthy to live in it.” 🙄
There’s an incessant droning drumbeat of “WHY WON’T GIVE US THIS THING YOU’VE BUILT THAT WE WANT” that’s troubling to me. No cooperation. No collaboration. But ownership. We want what you have. Give it to us.
Nah. I’d prefer it stay in the hands of Black women.
People wanna how MSNBC become Bernie Central? Well years ago I said Bernie had an echo chamber within the media and it was influential. They argued for years MSNBC refused to have Bernie on. The network agreed, overcorrected and now that's all you hear is him and his familiars.
What do some Warrenistas get out of their capping for BernieBros and their hatred of Biden and #KHive?
Neither of them tweeted 🐍🐍🐍 at Warren. They still hate her. They will never vote for her.
What's the tangible benefit of the relationship?
A mutual hatred of Democrats?
Is it they're trying to clear the field so she can run in 2024 or 2028? That kinda undercuts the "Biden is too old" argument. She's 73.
I mean some of the biggest Warren fans on this app bit down hard on Nina Turner's candidacy in #OH11. And they went after Rep. Shontel Brown rabidly. Some of the wildest comments I see about VP Kamala Harris are from #WarrenDemocrat Twitter feeds. I know I'm not the only one.
The paradigm is not "old vs new politics" between progressives and Democrats. That's not the appropriate dichotomy. It's "effective vs. performative." For all the criticism of incremental progress I don't see any progress from progressives. It's all esoteric praise for "fighting"
Or it's blame-shifting. Or taking all the credit while refusing to take none of the blame. I see that too much from certain progressives. Everything is everybody's fault except theirs. That's something to consider when considering the nature of their criticism.
For example progressives blamed liberals and Obama for the overturning of Roe. They blamed him for not forcing RBG to retire (as if McConnell would've allowed him to fill the seat anyway) and then they cherrypicked a comment from a random press conference
