Democrats don't actually give a damn about civil rights or fighting racism, all they care about is getting their candidate into office. https://twitter.com/ClaireBerlinski/status/1299663119422312448?s=19

    critical support for any world leader that helps fund the protests for racial justice

    They're so obsessed with funding, as if people won't just get out into the streets because they have no other options

    This makes sense if you completely ignore that the Dems best effort to address the issue was 1 week weakly pushing an already compromised bill, and kneeling with a cloth on their shoulders.

    They could end the riots tomorrow if they said: "We're ending this injustice once and for all", and held up all legislation until they passed the bill, even a slight compromise. Most people would call that a win. They won't even do that.

    My boss was just saying yesterday that BLM and antifa are funded by George Soros. He also admitted he thinks racial profiling is good.

    I love the lib argument that BLM protestors should give even one flying fuck about who is president.

    "But Trump will be so much worse for your cause than Biden!"

    Oh really, lib? These issues of policing got ramped up to 11 under a liberal, black president. Why should we think presidential politics should matter one way or another?

      The funny thing is Soros actually does fund a lot of nefarious shit like color revolutions abroad. I can't see them blaming him though because he funds orgs that Democrats like.

    I don't even think they care about winning, tbh.

    Winning is secondary to their "principles," or whatever the fuck you call what they "believe" in.

    It would be useful if American journalists ceased viewing these incidents as "spontaneous rallies for racial justice" and asked "Who's organising this? Who's encouraging it? Who's funding it?"

    Useful to who fucknugget?

    A few people on the Portland sub are convinced the night protests are some by Russians to divide moderate Democrats from the left

      So the protesters are all Russian psyop paratroopers or what?

        the daytime protests were a lot bigger (1-5 thousand) compared to the nightly (2-3 hundred), so they're convinced it's russian trolls influencing useful idiots.
