    Tell me you’re a white straight dude without telling me you’re a white straight dude. That or that you get all your politics from them.

    Imagine having the privilege to only be under the corporate thumb in this country and then turn around and shit on everyone else in the position of wishing they only had that to worry about.

    Women lost the right to abortions because of people who voted like you. Bush happened because of people who voted like you. Shit, Bernie probably lost because of people who voted like you, because y’all can’t even be assed to turn out at the damned primaries.

    Nah man, fuck you.

    Edit: you know you’ve touched a nerve when the porcelain americans respond by attempting to spam your inbox over how you totally didn’t just touch that nerve XD

      Remember when democrats had the ability to act on reproductive rights and then this was what democrats did when they had the power to do something about it?: https://www.reuters.com/article/obama-abortion/obama-says-abortion-rights-law-not-a-top-priority-idUKN2946642020090430

      That was after Obama said it was a top priority during his campaign. Democrats are incredibly skilled at claiming they care, not doing anything to actually back that up, and then when people don’t turn up to vote for their no-acting-asses, they wag their fingers and moralize from atop their high horses. Sure though, why don’t you lecture some homeless white man about how privileged he is, you fucking racist? I’m sure that’ll win you votes.

        Yeah how dare Obama use the miniscule window in which he had a hypothetically filibuster proof majority to do something as pointless as passing laws that stop the healthcare system from being exponentially worse than it currently is, which also required employers to provide reproductive care access before SCOTUS struck that down.

        Gotta love the porcelain americans trying to gaslight victims over how it’s actually your fault they don’t do the miniscule thing that could minimize how shit your life is for at least a little while, and that next time you should make sure they feel pandered to enough before you do something so entitled as asking them for a crumb of that solidarity they go on about when they’re lecturing you about whatever self righteous cause they’re on today.

        Allies like you are why CEOs can get away with disrupting union formation by recruiting more PoC and queer folks.

        Edit: Fragile white folks complaining that porcelain americans is racist because it makes fun of how fragile they are will never stop being funny. Keep on keepin’ on Mr. “I’m totally not Commie’s alt account.”

          Obama would’ve had a wider window if he actually delivered on his campaign promises, because then people would actually turn up to vote since they’d feel their vote actually mattered. No, instead he used that time to bail out the bankers who caused the global financial crisis. I have no idea what you’re blabbering about with pandering, since this is about reproductive rights, something you were shrieking about just a second ago, but now that I pointed out democrats could’ve done something about it, you say that other things are more important and that it’s somehow pandering. Also, what are you talking about “your fault”? I didn’t say it was your fault, I said it was the fault of the politicians holding the power. You know, because they hold the power.

          By the way, please stop using “porcelain americans” to refer to white people, it is racist. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt, but you seem like a troll trying to get a rise out of people. You cannot seriously talk about divisiveness letting CEOs get away with things while you use such divisive language.

        Today I’ve read stupider things and more pretentious things, but I think this is the most of both at once I’ve seen in a while.

        What are you even trying to say? That the world through many institutions and norms doesn’t treat some classes of people differently?

        You didn’t even address the rest of the post you quoted from.

            This is also incredibly stupid and irrelevant. Are you okay? Are you just bad at communicating? It’s not about me deciding what you say or to who. I’m giving you shit because your post was nonsense and you didn’t make a coherent argument. What you said was a complete non sequitur.

            The argument the other person made was, essentially, arguments that “both sides are the same” are bullshit. One “side” does a lot more immediate harm, especially to women and minorities. Your identity is irrelevant to the truth of those harms, sure, but not irrelevant to the conjecture that you don’t care about these things because they don’t personally affect you.

            You didn’t address any of that. Maybe you’re too busy badly replying with poorly written but extremely pretentious leavings.

              and that claim is a red herring, irrelevant to whether what I said is true
