And yet you spent so much time on the blaming and shaming part. I think you should assess why you're back pedaling your knee jerk response and learn from it. Setting aside your defensiveness is how we win.

Can you explain to me which part came across as shaming? I asked a genuine question about why that person thought it was constructive. I clearly could have softened it with additional words.

Your entire second point was about blaming and shaming, when you say your first point was your real concern. Why even include #2 then?

I viewed them as independent concerns, but my initial comment was just “source?” bc curious/didn’t think data was out. I spent time trying/failing to find the source, then thought the comment was unnecessarily divisive bc no one demographic is likely to win it w/o the other...

If white women stopped voting with white supremacy, we would win elections.

It pains me to see people who are a vocal part of a group I support and identify with use the same kinds of tactics as the groups they rail against (e.g., empty rhetoric, negative generalizations, no sources for things that reinforce existing beliefs, refusing mature discussion).

This is not snark: do you have a citation for the idea that calling out a demographic for voting for racist politicians makes them more likely — rather than less — to do so in the future? Also, FWIW, there aren’t any generalizations going on here.

Framing things as “us vs them”, demonizing a group, etc., alienates people and ensures most of them will not even hear your argument. The psychology behind this is heavily studied, and there are a number of factually supported resources on that being ineffective/damaging advocacy

So far, your tactics in this discussion include: - back pedaling - tone policing - centering yourself as a victim - asking for sources while neglecting to provide your own

I feel like you’ve dug into a rigid perception. My questions have gone unanswered. You accused me of “alienating” you by unfollowing. Where have I failed to evaluate my own actions? Where have you evaluated yours? **I’m just tired of seeing people be so shitty to each other.**

So am I! Which is why I want white women to stop voting in such shitty ways.
