    tell them their calls for self-determination are too radical

    Not once did I say this. They deserve more. I support all action peaceful to violent to further their rights. Burn the system

    It’s so exhausting how you seem to think voting so things don’t get worse and advocating for more is impossible. All this mindset does is make things worse for the oppressed. Yet you ignore the clear evidence

      You said that native people you knew were happy with those maintaining apartheid while giving token representation. You didn’t even know what Turtle Island was when I first mentioned it, when referring to North America as Turtle Island is incredibly common among decolonial native groups. My point is that the primary obstacle for native people isn’t something on the ballot box at all, it gets worse for them year over year regardless of who is in office. If the DNC is in office, it still gets worse, because the apartheid system makes conditions worse year over year by existing at all. Without removing it, no matter how much representation we give, conditions will always be getting worse.

      You don’t give a fk about your favourite team facilitating and funding a genocide. Literal ethnic cleansing and mass killing.

      Just stop. You’re making a fool out of yourself for no reason. You’re not about to convince anti-genocide protesters to celebrate your party’s wholesale murder of innocent human beings.

        You told me you were tired and didn’t want to continue this on another comment. Which is why I left you be.

        Okay sure I’ll bite, I don’t play teams. I pick what causes the least harm on election day and advocate for more. No current candidate will give me the world I want and I dislike them all.

        Now that’s cleared up do you have anything of substance to add or would you like to say good evening for real this time?

          Then why are you and others getting mad because Dems are being criticized?

          Do you believe in “Vote blue no matter who?”

          Or “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”?

          … suppose Donald has a stroke or something and his brain flips 180⁰. Overlooking the fact that it’s not how things actually work. Will you start supporting him unconditionally just because he’ll cause least harm?
