Hard to imagine anything much weirder than wanting to present oneself as racist in front of an African-American journalists association. Pretty much guaranteed to get a hostile reception when you do that.

    While I do agree I also want to make it clear I’m not expecting a revolution if Kamala is elected. I’m excited for the chance to get off the back foot and hope our country can start making progress again. It may be cynical, but I pretty much expect second term Obama again.

    For more information on what I’m talking about check out FD Signifier’s video about Kamala. I don’t agree with everything he said, but he has good points.

      I totally agree. I remember all those years ago and Kamala was too conservative for me, but after nearly 10 years of this I am humbled. She will be status quo leaning towards green policies, but not a democratic socialist revolutionary. I’m still fucking excited! Maybe the most I have been since I could vote.

      As I read your first paragraph I was reflecting on FD Signifier’s vid.

      He makes you think and he makes solid points. Only found him recently, but I enjoy his stuff. B side and otherwise.

        I also only found him recently because I normally don’t go to YouTube for that kind of content. He just popped up in my feed one day because of a video about Drake (side note, Kendrick vs. Drake ruined the feed I had going, lol) and I’ve been a fan since then. I have actually contemplated getting Nebula just to get similar content that isn’t controlled by big brother Google.
