1. I hate this. Once again missing the forest for the trees.

The "tree" here is whether or not the tiny specific question of whether or not the word choice on one single issue cost votes and how many.

The "forest" here is why the f*ck is it the democrats always have to be 100% perfect and flawless in every damn detail to win? Elections are messy and campaigns aren't perfect and there are many voices and many messages and there's *always* going to be one thing or another to point to that wasn't perfect.


This issue in particular is infuriating. Blank people are getting senselessly killed by government agents.

Nobody listens when black peoples complain.

So they found an organization and a slogan, "back lives matter".

La la la I can't hear you, you should have said all lives matter.

Colin kaepernick tries to protest at nfl games but he gets ignored. So he steps up and takes a knee.

La la la I can't hear you, you shouldn't protest during the national anthem.

So they try to put budget pressure on the police to try bring attention to the problem that way.

La la la I can't hear you because it sounds like you want anarchy.


I sick and tired of people complaining when people are trying to find ways to get through to people who refuse to listen.

*Black people are getting killed by government agents*

Anyone who has a quibble about the way that message gets phrased and doesn't take major steps to help black people survive is part of the problem and they can eat a big batch of shutthefucupcakes.
