    you are the company you keep, & if you celebrate the entry of bigots into your circle, it speaks volumes about what compromises you're willing to make and what cover you're willing to provide at others' subsequent expense.

    considering black women socialists created the idea, its socialist politics were already baked in. the problem is with those who intentionally decoupled these ideas then moved to speak ill of the idea bc it challenged their social position.

    But is your position really that we should never boo other women?- that is never register blunt public disapproval of other women no matter how wrong, racist, problematic, dangerous her words might be? Solidarity has 2B based on principle not essentialist notions of sisterhood.

    btw,to add for clarity: i'm not in any way saying i don't value the thoughts/concerns of white ppl who hv also struggled & seek out left alternatives for alleviating inequality. what i'm lamenting is the selective hearing & elective silencing ofpoc in mixed company due to racism

    before, now, & after, the discussions i hv here & elsewhere plus the content i create abt leftpoc do not center a white audience. despite their best efforts,this has become a prblm for many a leftist of color, esp in alt media. we shld always put nurturing our communities first.

    & while the leftpoc hashtag & subsequent project emerged from my frustration w/erasure of leftists of color by centrists, it has also proven necessary for a US left that only listens to poc when convenient & comfortable, that tokenizes us, & that ignores our leadership/knowledge+

    there's a serious problem in US politics, incl on the left, when poc are only selectively seen & heard. they hear us when we cheer them, but ignore our critique. this is why i've ultimately dedicated myself more & more to learning abt & discussing left thought among other poc+

    i remember when he was tweeting very state dept aligned commentary re:venezuela during his run,seemingly to try to appeal to rightwing latin american voters in his district (lost cause,but i digress),but now he literally has no reason to do this,arguably making it even worse

    this man lost his race in large part due to racism and now is welcoming a man who is not only backed by this racist trump govt but who seeks to enact racist US imperialist policies against poor people of color in his own country. shameful.

    here's hoping that now that actual members of the campaign are making this definition of identity politics more clear, as many of us hv been doing for years to endless vitriol, bernie stans will stop using it via rightwing framing as a pejorative

    it seems to me that for too many leftism has become a social club in which membership is granted by abandoning all solidarity to the oppressed in favor of electorialism

    the other big irony here is that the most vocal antagonists to the "vote blue no matter who" mantra are not avg voters but the *democratic party establishment* that supports such bans & has made it very clear they'll do whatever they can to prevent a sanders win.

    this is primarily bc we recognize that not all candidates in the race will actually *reverse* such a ban or not implement versions of their own. research shows that in 2016, prior to trump's win, a shocking no. of USians, incl democrats, supported such a ban (receipts to follow)+

    The KC Chiefs vs. (the California Indian genocider) SF 49ers A matchup paid for and promoted by the US military. Native mascots and NFL football celebrates flag-waving imperialism and genocidal conquest. If you don’t get that connection, you don’t get any of it.
