      using minorities as objects to leverage for benefiting your own positions, before abandoning them and ignoring them and undermining them every step of the way so that they will remain sufficiently oppressed and downtrodden and under attack with your active participation so that you can repeat the same charade next election.

      Democrats and liberals who support them like yourself use minorities as political bludgeons in elections and for justifying imperialism like mario world uses Yoshi to get across a big hole in the ground. Obama regime had both houses of congress and a majority governorships and a sympathetic court while holding the executive. his Citigroup-groomed ass could’ve codified abortion rights, LGBTQ civil rights, defunding police to reinvest in communities the police destroyed under both parties (NOTE: JOE BIDEN AND BILL CLINTON WERE THE ARCHITECTS OF RACIST MASS INCARCERATION — JOE BIDEN WAS A SEGREGATIONIST), any number of things.

      Democrats not only didn’t do any of that, but then gave away a free supreme court seat to the Republicans (two if you count not pressuring Ginsburg’s fossilized ass to retire) to the Republicans ENSURING that they could drum up abortion rights and LGBTQ rights being under attack for next elections because the Democrats work for the big banks and for arms dealers and the worst imperialist racketeers and liars and murderers the capitalist world has to offer; and relies on these social issues to be “hot” so they can manipulate working class votes (by weaponizing minorities) without having to do JACK SHIT ANYTHING for the working class EVER.

      That answer your question?

        Notice how they didn’t even flinch at the fact that I said they are pulling the genocide lever because they know it and they can’t even deny it anymore.

        Also fantastic answer I have been out cold with food poisoning the last couple days and could not have mustered the effort for such a great post nor do I think anyone on this entire site could have said it better. I’m gonna be saving that for later use.

      It’s the whole “lesser evil / harm reduction” discourse run into the gutter. When you end up with people saying “you need to support this rabidly imperialist bloodsoaked omnicidal monster, or you don’t care about women / LGBTQ people / people of color etc.”
