Democrats are leaning into the meme war because they think if they win in culture, they don’t have to win in policy—and no one will notice.
I’m gonna use that. I’m writing it down so I don’t forget.

A lot of you believe in eugenics because it’s the only facet to white supremacy and racism you have access to because if pain and suffering were the prerequisites to not having reproductive choice then no one other than straight, white, Nondisabled men would exist.

You all honest to God think that the eight Democrats that voted to end the shut down just happen to be people that weren’t up for reelection anytime soon or at all? If you think that I can’t talk to you.

They literally laughed about not picking up phones to stop a genocide and y’all thought they would stop your own?
Progressive groups are calling for Chuck Schumer's ouster after centrist Dems' shutdown cave. Dem senators' phone lines are "exploding" with the same demands. So far, Senate Dems don't have a ton to say.

I don’t care who you are, the one thing that links all of the -isms and bigotries together and sets them on fire is eugenics and ableism.
They’ve been playing you all the entire time. There is no progress in this country for ANYTHING without equity for disabled people.
