*rolls my eyes super hard at a black women saying she supports De Santis because he's soooo~ amazing*

Good thing to see you selling out your moral integrity for a paycheck.

Really?

You think a black woman can' t be a Republican unless she is bribed into it??? She can' t just believe??

I had no idea that skin color determined political affiliation.

I think I read that DeSantis set a fund raising record recently. I guess the little Nazis that support him have money.

Biden already said the quiet part out loud. "If you don't vote for me, you ain't black." Despite Democrats only engaging in lip service on contemporary civil rights issues.

That’s not what he said, but I agree that his actual comment was ill considered.

I don't think what he actually said was different enough to even warrant a correction, but I can quote a different line verbatim instead: "Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids." 

Joe Biden undoubtedly holds racist beliefs... sure, maybe his opinions on race have changed as he's aged (he certainly needs to change them for public perception purposes) but he is responsible for some of the most egregiously racist legislation in the US since the end of Jim Crow (the mandatory minimum drug law that made more severe penalties for drugs more widely used by the black population compared to drugs more widely used by the white population).

Democrats across the board also don't really seem to care. They have not demonstrated any commitment to actually addressing contemporary civil rights issues. They talk about it and they certainly fuel the left-leaning side of the culture war, but have yet to commit to any solutions to the problems that have been in the public sphere since Trayvon Martin got shot a decade ago.

The primary problem is that there are too many issues warranting progressive change and too many of the wrong people in positions of power to adequately implement the change required for a better future.

The wrong people will always end up in positions of power as the right people are a threat to the system and those at the top.

Clocks go forward overnight. I’m the only person I know who really, truly doesn’t care about DST one way or another.

Refilled my medication box...one of those day of the week things...late yesterday and then promptly forgot to take my evening heart meds. Wondered why I felt a bit off this morning. Had the damn thing in my hands. Should have just taken the pills. Cripes.
