“The Democrats were the party of slavery, and of slave owners — that’s in their history,” Sawant raged at one point.

The absurdity and lack of context in this statement is so fucking ridiculous that it made curse words that have caused me to get temporarily banned from communities on lemmy before.

Context: I live in Seattle, consider myself super left, but have despised this woman for a decade or more.
