Friend, you can go through every single back issue of that magazine trying to prove some point, but I am literally reading the "Malcom X, Black LIberation, and the Road to Workers Power"

First, we are not friends. We are not brothers. We are not comrades. So you can stop with the usual bs in your replies.

And really - pulling the literary equivalent of “I have a black friend” defense? You are just so precious!

You hated me for voting for Jill Stein. Now you'll hate me for voting Socialist. I have a feeling, nothing is gonna change your mind.

Wow, such an ego! Not very socialist of you though. I don’t hate you. I don’t even think about you other than when your sad little antics pop up in my feed like a turd in the pool. You amused me for a time, but now you’re just boring. I only bother to reply when you spout such obvious bs that it needs to be called out…and when I have nothing better to do. Just my bad luck today to run into you again.

Glad you found such a morally good fit to support with your vote! I guess it’s true what they say, there really is someone out there for everyone.

Friend, ya need to back up. My adoptive mother is black. So you can back the fuck off with that comment. You can disagree with me all you want, but ease up on the racism implications. Not cool. I put up with your DEI implication, but now you're going to far.

Oh ok, then, well lucky for you that Lemmy makes it super super easy to block someone. And if ya block me, ya never have to see posts or comments from me ever again. See? That's good news for you!

Glad you found such a morally good fit to support with your vote!

Awww, thank you for your support. I know that you respect and support my right to vote for whoever I want. As I support and respect yours. Right?! :)

My adoptive mother is black.

Just out of curiosity then, do you know who she’s voting for? Since you brought her up, I think it’s an interesting and fair question, especially if you have shared your thoughts with her.
