Classic whataboutism. Jfc get a life
I call out hypocrisy when I see it. Democrats have been Gerrymandering since 1820, but you seem to be perfectly fine with it. Therefore, it's fine when Republicans do it too, because turnabout is fair play.
If someone brings a sword to a boxing match, they shouldn't be surprised when the other person brings their own sword.
No you don't. The democrats of today aren't the same as back then. Also show me where I said I was perfectly fine with it? Therefore it's not fine when Republicans ( who really did it first, let's be honest) do it. Because of what, your school yard logic???
So EXACTLY what Gavin is doing in response to Texas. It's ok then right?
Same party in an unbroken chain of mentors and mentees going all the way back to the Democratic Republican Party who have been gerrymandering for over a century.
It's the same party, try to justify supporting them as you please.
It's the opposite. the Democrats have been doing it for 100 years so it's fine for Texas to do it.
Right, and that's why, famously the far right groups vote democrat to this day. Your attempts at revisionist history are laughable
No one cares who a few nutjobs in dirty white bedsheets think.
Also, Robert Byrd was a KKK member who started his own chapter of the organization before the political winds shifted and he pretended to denounce racism. The problem is, a person doesn't go through the effort to organize a new chapter of an organization and not believe in the cause. Byrd was a flaming racist until the day he died and the Democrats worshiped him.
Democrats never changed their message of "Whites are superior, Blacks are inferior!" they simply repacked it as "White Privilege and Blacks can't survive on their own so we have to give them a leg up." It's still white supremacy, just worded differently.
If you believe that white people hold all the power and black people can't be held accountable for their actions because "racism", then you are a white supremacist without even realizing it.
A lot of people, Republicans, specifically care what people in dirty white robes think, that's why they pander to them, stand by and stand down was recently used.
Source on that? Lol
Absolute horse shit, white privileged is not worshipong superiority, it's recognizing the systematic injustice in the system.
The insane mental gymnastics here... I'm flabbergasted. If the Democrats were all racists like you say, why the fuck do the majority of Black people vote for them, when actual real republican policies disproportionately target black people?
