    Wait, so what is the actual reason libs hate BJG so much? Every time I went on r/ESS or r/neoliberal and she was mentioned, they talked about her like she was satan incarnate. They really seem to hate her. Idk anything about her really, I guess I listened to a couple episodes of the Bad Faith podcast and I've seen her twitter, but she seems like a really wholesome Star Trek nerd who liked Bernie and isn't 100% worshipping Biden. Is that it? Like has she done anything besides be on the (now completely irrelevant) Bernie campaign?

      thats literally it. It happened, to some degree, to bernies former black press sec in 2016 who now works for biden. It seems a LOT worse this time but tbf I'm more Extremely Online and am more educated on subtler racism black people face. But yeah its literally just that she's an outspoken black woman.

      one of their main complaints is that she didn't vote for hillary in 2016. i mean they're really shitty over that. it's all nauseating and not worth trying to figure out, these people just suck

          yes, NY. when confronted with this they think she influenced a ton of people in purple states to do the same thing. im saying its REALLY not worth trying to figure out it's so fucking dumb

      They hate women and people of color thinking independently. They were promised by their own entitlement that women and people of color would be mindless units of social validation for American neoliberal sensibilities.
