@philkasper: White leftist have a lot of antiracism work to do, because punching down on a black woman who is objectively more progressive than her opponent in Texas is furthering is not a good look for them.

JB :

And they ignore the Congo and Sudan. I wonder why 🙄

xoxo.hou :

I had white leftists tell me since all problems come from capitalism, then we have to fully tackle that before we deal with racism 😂

Ron Jeffords :

I said the same thing to many of the never Kamala crowd last year. got blocked by most of them

Rica🧡🤍💘 :

You're completely correct. People are left for the morality ego, not for the actual purpose of it

_austinmcleod_🍉 :

They don’t care or have barely gave attention to gsides in Congo, Sudan, Tigray, and Xinjiang. I know cuz I brought this up and they go silent or tell me to “stop comparing gsides”. 🙄

KJ :

mind you they mostly only hold this standard for black politicians, but will rally behind gavin newsome knowing his views on AIPAC

neurospicynugget :

Them using Gaza to be a concrete brick over people’s head is also not benefiting Gaza in any way. It’s actually making people resent the topic, it’s being used as “there’s always someone struggling more” in the face of their own suffering, and it turns people off to the support and movement.

MidnightSnack1990 :

So, the issue is YT people?

photosinensis :

They are insufficiently antifascist to be left wing. They think that anticapitalism is all you need.

hannah :/ :

So many of the people discouraging people from voting for Crockett live in blue states no where near Texas

Lombriz Atorada 🐺❄️ :

And their one issue changes depending on who’s running and where

Dr. Fantastic :

They did the same thing with BLM, environmental injustices, and feminism

JoAnne :

Biggest difference is at least the right side is consistent. These leftists blow with the wind and change their soap boxes depending on the headlines.

Smit Shah :

Jackson Paller :

Also, my issue with Crockett is SOLELY that I’m not convinced that how she’s leaning into anti-Trump as a main campaign message will work well in Texas. But if she leans into affordability she’ll do fine

LyndsayE333 :

I agree. this is exactly how and why we lost the election. Y'all remember people who claimed that Kamala was worse for Gaza than Trump and look what's happened.

bgreen0123 :

I heard someone say yt leftists believe The worse of the white politicians are still better than the best of the black politicians

Leydi Explores ORL & ATL :

MALCOLM X TRIED TO TELL US

Intrusive Thoughts :

Not just that, it is very clear that certain people on the left only use politics as it means to punish people they don’t like or agree with. But they’re not punishing Kamala or Joe or the actual Republicans that are doing this mess.

Nan :

it's like they want or expect America to be the world's peacekeepers while also hating American imperialism. they have no logical throughline connecting their beliefs together.

jared joshua :

The Bernie Bros did the same thing and wondered why the black community didn’t come out for Bernie. I say this and I voted for him in the 2020 primary

Determined Optimist :

Not me bristling at being generalized under "white leftists" and then having to yank my own foot out of a shoe that I myself put on 💀

Key Lime Pie 🥧 :

I still don’t understand. Are we not allowed to at least fix up our house. Get some RATIONAL PEOPLE in charge that we can actually TALK TO. THEN tackle what’s going on in Palestine. Cause why would they decide to play around during an election with a woman who has incredibly qualified ( and knows how to do shi properly and professionally) verses an orange who we already KNOW is bad due to his first term??? He’s doing stuff he said he’d do in his first term and they let him ice skate his way in the office. Why????

HoodStoryteller :

CORRECT

Tumbling Dice :

Also, many white leftists are former Christian fundamentalists. They don’t like liberalism or Democrats.
