@WuMargaret @mekkaokereke

that's true but what floods socials is "both sides the same" anti-intellectualism and troll farms pushing people to not vote with learned helplessness

so you get this cross chatter

"why are you standing against valid honest criticism of biden?" (they're not, the trolls are real and need push back)

vs

"why are trying to help trump" (they're not, they're engaged in honest criticism of biden and will vote for him)

so trolling works: everyone suspicious of motivations

@benroyce @WuMargaret

They are not "pushing back on trolls." They're shutting down valid criticism of Biden or any other centrists, mainly from Black folk. They know that we are (some of the very few!) real Black people on the fediverse. They just don't care.🤷🏿‍♂️

They don't accept anyone not showing fealty to Biden. They feel entitled to 95% or 100% of the Black vote. They say as much.

And some folk that have valid criticism of Biden will not vote for him. About 1 in every 5 Black men in fact.

@benroyce @WuMargaret

This isn't about trolling confusing people.

This is about one-way solidarity, and Democrats feeling entitled to the entire Black vote, while simultaneously supporting the very things that destroy Black lives.

As I said before, about 90% to 95% of all Black women, and 80 to 85% of all Black men will vote for Biden. That's a lot! And that has to be enough. Because that's all he's getting.

@benroyce @WuMargaret

The people that scream "Trump is worse!" without listening to what anyone has to say, aren't "confused by trolls." They're behaving selfishly.

I have friends that don't behave selfishly.♥️ I have white trans friends that are rightly terrified by what a 2nd Trump term will mean.

I have friends that are Black women that know everything about Biden that Black men know.

They see people posting criticism of Biden, and yet somehow they don't jump in with the "Trump is worse!"

@mekkaokereke @WuMargaret

1. *nobody* can condescend to black people with this bs: " you fix what white racist MAGA gave us"

that's patronizing sleaze

vs

2. russian troll farm and MAGA agent provocateurs are real

they work inflexible idealism, to convince people not to vote

1 and 2 are totally different

but then comments regarding 1 are attacked as 2

and comments regarding 2 are attacked as 1

the social media hell of stripped context

and then we fight each other

divide and conquer

😔
