11. No - I won't

POSTED IN THE AFRICAN AMERICAN GROUP IN RESPONSE TO A DISMISSAL OF BLACK AMERICAN WOMEN WHO ARE FED UP - ALSO I'M A GROUP HOST.

He needs to stop punching down at VP Harris.

When you punch at her - you punch at EVERY SINGLE BLACK WOMAN IN AMERICA.

So no - I won't give him a break. I wouldn't put up with this verbal abuse from my husband either.

This is your boy:

The veteran Vermont senator accused the “liberal elite” in America of using the inclusion of marginalised communities, such as Black or LGBTQ+ people, as a way to make issues seem difficult to understand.

“We get to this thing called ‘identity politics’, you’re Black, you’re tremendous, you’re wonderful. You’re gay, you’re the greatest thing on Earth, rather than say: what do you stand for?” the former Democrat, who now sits as an independent, said.


Never - and if you want us to vote for your Bros - here's an idea:

Your an anti-oligarch and that's your mantra and that makes you TREMENDOUS and WONDERFUL. But really - what's in it for me?

No seriously. All he's got is Prison Reform. What the FUCK does that have to do with my life? I don't have any family members that have been in prison - and it's VERY tiresome.

It's right up there with Trump saying "the blacks will like me because of my mug shot".

So much for rubbing my head for good luck Bro!
