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.
Ralph Nader did this! We got GWB as a result. Then the Bernie bros in 2016.
It's a deeply ingrained, dangerous ignorance.
@CartyBoston @futurebird Ah, now, careful with falling into the trap of blaming the left for what the right did.
Nader should have been a lesson learned that third-party doesn't work without electoral reform but Republicans stole the presidency.
@liquor_american @CartyBoston @futurebird I doubt it's a coincidence the same players are running the same playbook today.
"Perhaps the most famous operative on the scene was Nixon’s “dirty trickster” himself: Roger Stone.
In a 2008 New Yorker profile, Stone claimed he had been recruited by none other than James Baker III, the former secretary of state leading the Bush recount team, and that it was Stone’s idea to court protesters via Cuban radio."
