The problem is Americans (left, right, center) aren't demanding this racist piece of shit to resign. This country has tolerated entirely too much racism, sexism, and phoney Christianity over the past 250 years. It's time we demand these people stop representing America and crawl back into their caves.

To be fair, he said it last night. Maybe Americans won't demand he resign, but give them a little time.

We've been waiting for 250 years. The calls won't come. And if they do, please come back and tell me I'm wrong. I would love to be wrong.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I'm just saying, give them time to not do it before you condemn them for not doing it.

By all means, please define the appropriate amount of time before I am allowed to be outraged.

Edit: To add on, we already knew this would be the response to an announced Harris campaign and, guess what, it was. As a country, we need to strike back much more expeditiously and severely if we truly want this behavior to stop.

I would suggest that the appropriate time would be not during the night when everyone is asleep about a story that also came out at night.

I'm not sure why you think pointing fingers at people before they even know about something is productive.

Ohh...I get it. Makes perfect sense. Thank you for your wonderful explanation of how we continue to bend over and take it from racists, sexists, and xenophobes.

I look forward to continuing to prove you wrong every fucking day these people who represent America are allowed to spew hate and vitriol as we sit back and...wait, what was your plan again...oh, yeah...wait.

Utterly disgusting.

Dude, I'm suggesting you wait a a few hours for people to wake up and see the news from the time you initially posted.

Even now, it's only 8 am on the West Coast.
