If you are a white leftist and you talk “both parties are the same they are both capitalist” you will loose most of your black audience. I think it ought to be obvious that this isn’t because blackfolks love Democrats (in most cases, there is always someone being simple in any group) —no. it’s because the difference between the parties is material and obvious and these are unstable times.

When I hear such talk I wonder if the speaker is working on voter suppression.

@futurebird I don't know how to parse this when Democrats promise to repeal horrors by the Republicans and then they expand those policies. There is so much they could do for us and they know it. They actively prevent improvement and ask us to be civil when the right takes over.

I don't know how to help others in a framework build for harm

@Pythia @futurebird we have to start building alternative frameworks. Mutual aid groups are a good place to start and connect with other people who are interested in things being different and willing to put their time, energy, and money into it.
