    problem is Democrats are a faux savior

    might appear to fight and be on our side but at the end of the day just as bad as Republicans and do just as much harm

    case in point Democrats fought against segregation and even said it out loud but at the same time Democrats prop up a raciest fuck that did not want his kids going to desegrated schools and even got him elected later in his career

    both sides are not on the peoples but the owner class side

      If you seriously argue democrats opposed integration when the democrat president forced southern states to comply and those same opponents went on to leave the party and join the republicans then you’re too ignorant of history to have this conversation. Full stop. I have a lot of issues with the party but you literally have no idea what you’re talking about. It was the GOP plus a handful of “Dixiecrats” that pushed back. The Democratic Party ended segregation.

      Go open a book. I’ve linked strom thurmond’s Wikipedia page to get you started.
