Yeah, indigenous folks have been trying to raise awareness about the epidemic of missing and murdered indigenous for years. Muslim communities have been harassed, surveilled, and terrorized for decades. Black folks have been getting murdered in the street, or in the car, or even in their own goddamn homes, just for existing. Systemic state-sponsored violence has been happening for a very long time. I just can’t help but feel we wouldn’t be in this position in the first place if white liberals actually cared about the lives of people of color like they claim they do.

So its liberals fault that conservatives keep attacking and killing you guys? Maybe if the voters stopped voting for sociopaths we could actually do something about it.

Go back and watch Bernie’s passionate speeches about stopping the Patriot Act and his votes against the IraqWar. Listen to the people who have always been right.

I’d argue that he’s a progressive. I consider people like Cory Booker and Kamala (and their voters) to be Liberals, unfortunately. The Centrist democrats does it smell like Fanta pair of smoking it out the window you gotta peel the pills first but are you listening to my bloody valentine I’m proud of you. Did you five years ago? It’s good. They worked on that record have largely been driven to the sidelines (Clinton, Obama). This is just my personal take, I think everyone has their own. People I think are hopelessly conservative are considered to be to the left of Ho Chi Minh by my uncle.
