What I want cis white liberals to understand is there's a reason so many poor, trans, Black, Hispanic, Arabic, and other people are upset about politics right now, and it's not because we're "low information voters" or we just feel like being mean to your heroes. It's because yelling at someone like Trump is pointless. We hope yelling at Biden and Democrats is not.

@gwynnion Yup.

Frankly, Dems aren’t, and have never been, interested in giving us the systemic changes we really need because that would mean ending capitalism. So I understand perfectly why folks are disillusioned.

Their privilege prevents them from understanding that we, minority groups, get hosed regardless of who wins. The wealth gap keeps growing. This shit is literally killing us.

So yeah, please don’t “but Trump” us. We’re not stupid, we know. But that’s not the point.

No, we don't get hosed the same. There is a significant chance that a Trump whitehouse will ban my existence.
This is not hyperbole.

@gwynnion I’ve realized that the only thing I’m “liberal” about is the block button, because liberals can’t fucking resist popping up to basically tell us our opinion is invalid. This group is the most condescending and annoying bunch of people I’ve found here in an otherwise friendly place.

Can’t miss a chance to tell the groups you claim to support that you know better than them.

@gwynnion Is it because Trump actually threatens to negatively impact their material existence the way both parties have negatively impacted poor people over years?

Y’know, by perpetuating the economic system that results in all this inequality we’re seeing now, and have seen for a long time.

Also, I’ve never said people shouldn’t vote but for some reason people always assume that. Oh yeah, because they always miss the point.
