They want to lose so badly

    Refusing to meet with a music celebrity who scribbled down a few cool ideas in his Trapper Keeper isn't "taking black people for granted".

    O'Shea Jackson doesn't appear to have any kind of base of support. He's not leading a movement. He's not organizing people municipally or advocating on behalf of this plan to any community of interest. He literally just went straight to Trump and offered to do a photo-op in front of a stack of blank pages.

    Nobody should take this shit seriously.

      Sure, but a lot of other stuff Democrats do is.

      Besides, it would take a half-hour Zoom meeting to avoid the whole issue and at least look like you're trying.

        Neoliberals melting down over Brie's interview with Chomsky is a great example of Democrats not giving a shit about black people organizing in their class interest.

        Jackson asking Donald Trump to send the National Guard into the streets against Antifa is not.

        Besides, it would take a half-hour Zoom meeting to avoid the whole issue and at least look like you’re trying.

        If the Democrats had stood up Jackson as a prop and pretended to care, this sub would be ripping on them for that, too.

        Understanding that Biden doesn't give a shit doesn't mean you need to indulge the GOP kabuki theater.
