#METOO AND BLM ARE NOT "PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENTS" THEY ARE LITERALLY AWARENESS CAMPAIGNS, DON'T RAPE WOMEN AND DON'T MURDER BLACK PEOPLE IS NOT A RADICAL PROGRESSIVE IDEA
considering how many people are still claiming "BLM is a scam because its leaders are blah blah blah" that seems both prudent and irrelevant to its success or failure
MOVEMENTS FOR SOCIAL CHANGE ARE ALREADY UNPOPULAR THAT'S THE WHOLE REASON WHY IT'S NOT ALREADY A LAW. do you shitheads think gay marriage was a popular idea when Obergfell was decided? do you think desegregation was a popular idea when Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat? if we were dealing with already popular ideas there would be no need to move for change, it would already exist as the status quo.
oh fuck you, you think because I went to college I never had to work a minimum-wage job? I literally had to have a bachelor's degree to work in a CALL CENTER for behavioral health insurance, do you think that's not "emotionally demanding"? I'm so far left because I worked those jobs, not because I went to college.
the government already had the opportunity to extend the expanded child tax credits, remember? Joe Manchin killed it because he thought we were all buying drugs with it.
