When they blame us for the loss, remember to ask them this: if we are such a powerful, important voting bloc then why did Kamala choose to speak over us rather than recognising that the most important factor in politics is to make crucial compromises in order to achieve progress and to prevent Trump from seizing power?
Use it to defend West Asians from the inevitable hate that will be directed at them for "making" Kamala lose as well, please.
Seriously is there any other demographic that is expected to be this supportive while actively explicitly being told to fuck off for every single topic.
LGBT folk but the liberals have learned to keep their opinions a little closer to their chest on that issue because they rightly understand it would make them look like the assholes they truly are if they indulged their scold instincts on them like they do to us.
I think it's one of the reasons they constantly berate us. They learned to keep the mask on but they have a pathological need to blame and we make a convenient target for them. Because we all know if they could get away with it they'd talk about gay, trans, black, etc the same way. I am grateful their stupid civility fetishism keeps their mouths shut sometimes.
Didn't Biden say that black people aren't black if they don't vote for him? I do think a lot of libs have learned to keep those thoughts private but believe me many still think it even if they don't say it.
Yea it's a toss up they get more useless platitudes and pandering when dems can manage to keep their fucking masks on for 5 seconds but they get fucked over way more by actual policies than nebulous progressives do.
Like everytime an election gets close and dems decode to lean into the tough on crime rhetoric.
Damn right. If my vote is the deciding factor I better start hearing some panderin’
