1. Charlie Kirk was a hatemonger and it is disgusting to see this stuff happen real time.

2. in other words, shame, shame, shame.

3. Democrats being feckless. It’s how we got to where we are.

   Rise the fuck up!

4. Elected democrats are complicit in the fall of American democracy. It’s time we get over that. 

5. Charlie who?

6. “….I must make two honest confessions to you, my Christian and Jewish brothers. First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection….”

7. Well, yeah.

   A lot of Dems lined up to vote to honour a man who viewed black people as inherently inferior and violent. She’s right to scold them.

8. There are so many weak, pathetic democrats. Outside of the progressives, they’re basically all shit.

9. That collective groveling is just nauseating

10. Kirk was ok with me being stoned to death but sure, let’s give him a national day of remembrance….

11. I’m not gonna lie. Seeing Sarah McBride vote in favor of the resolution really took it out of me. I’m not sure what the political calculus is, but I don’t think I like it.

12. Broke my heart as well. I feel like it’s over, people will not wake up. My only hope is that nature does its job soon.

13. As a white person who loves many folks of color, it hurt mine too, Congresswoman Crockett. I’ll never get why some white people protect the feelings of fascists. It’s cowardice.

14. Racism was always alive and well just kept in the shadows for the most part

15. He wasn’t even elected — the guy was far from a Saint.

16. All who voted in favor need to be called out and voted out of both parties. Until these kind of people are out of power nothing will ever change.

17. The US are so fucking cooked

18. I could have sworn I saw the super white Seth Moulton vote against honoring Charlie Kirk, which surprised me. Only other MA rep to do it was Ayanna Pressley.

19. She’s right

20. I have found white liberals to be the least concerned about Charlie Kirk’s racist views. Makes sense since the hatred is not targeting them

    If you’re a white liberal reading this, I’m sure you actually have enough empathy to recognize when fellow Americans are being targeted by bigots 🙂

21. Fuck those guys. They should be ashamed to honor a hate monger like Kirk. He belongs in the toilet of history.

22. Let’s not pretend that most Dems are cowards and, based on their complacency, completely fine with all that the GOP and King Pedo doing.

    We seem to have gone back to “both sides are the same”. Clearly not an election year.

23. Considering the treatment of Mamdani, maybe it’s time to realise that the Democratic Party isn’t what people want it to be.

24. zionism doesn’t belong in America,  we are not (making it clear they’re not Juidisam) zionists!!!
