    “The Alabama Legislature believes it is above the law. What we are dealing with is a group of lawmakers who are blatantly disregarding not just the Voting Rights Act, but a decision from the U.S. Supreme Court and a court order from the three-judge district court,” the plaintiffs said in a statement. “Even worse, they continue to ignore constituents’ pleas to ensure the map is fair and instead remain determined to rob Black voters of the representation we deserve,” the plaintiffs said.

    So why aren’t democrats more vocal about anything happening? This is just like the 90’s again, get a white democrat in office and the left suddenly becomes complacent and docile, put a Republican in the White House and suddenly the left starts rioting and protesting every other week

    Everyone with a functioning brain knows Joe Biden was only chosen by the Democrats to satisfy and calm the racists after the BLM protests, nothing more. They could’ve easily chosen a younger more vibrant candidate who actually represents America, but the BLM protests gave democrats such a bad national image they complied with the Republicans and chose a milktoast white boomer instead

    Democrats have a massive hate boner for people of color it seems

        Reddit remarks like yours are what make everyone less intelligent, not even engaging in discussions and going straight to personal insults does not contribute in any meaningful way to any discussion.

          Troll comments, like your entire post history @lexicondexicon@lemmy.world, aren’t worth constructively engaging because you’re not actually trying to have a discussion. Instead, commenters like you are typically either JAQing off or simply parroting echo chamber level hate. Mockery is 100% the proper response. It doesn’t dignify your nonsense.

            If a person having their own independent thoughts constitutes “trolling” to you then you must be a robot or someone with a very boring personality and no life. My posts come from my own POV, if you don’t care for it, fine, but it’s still my own voice.

            And I don’t care for your lynch mob attitude either. I had to deal with so much racist garbage on reddit which is why I left in 2014

              You’re absolutely entitled to your own opinions. But, you have to understand that most intelligent people find your opinions unfounded and, frankly, stupid. Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son.

                  That’d hurt if it didn’t come from a downvote dumpster. Y’all really don’t realize that we can all see your post histories, huh?

          There is zero reason to respond seriously to your comment because it’s just pure stupidity and it is a waste of our time to engage with it.

            So my own personal experience is “stupid” to you? Nothing in my entire posting history indicates anything other than I care about humanity and fighting back against racism and bigotry.

            I don’t know why you people are so evil but you seriously need to grow up. I expect a higher level of discussion here than on reddit where half the commenters would just jerk off with dumb reddit upvotes from snappy “one liners”

              Did you expect the same acceptance for empty words and unfounded claims too? You dont have a base right to get a proper reply, you have to earn it by making a good point (thats worth debating) in the first place.

              Here is a pointer to where you wemt wrong: painting a picture as if this is lets say the dem fault, rather than the rampaging elephant in the room, the gop. Its an old method of “arguing”, and if you want to be taken seriously, should have picked a different tactic. But you didnt so… here we are.

                  Because you people have no standards. We require you actually have evidence or facts before we listen. It’s why out of all your comments you’ve posted here you have yet to actually say anything of worth.

                  Dishonest? Nice claim, care to back it up? If you can?

                  The standard is simple; provide something beyond a surface level claim. Or at least make an effort to make the claim seem reasonable. In this example, the original commenter you’ve jumped to defend portrays the dems as if its all their fault… but is it? As mentioned, there is the figurative elephant (gop) in the room, and all the shit they do, but … No, the focus was on having selected biden. Not only that but also implying the blm marches were the root cause. But what about the reason for the marches? Or the actions by the elephant? Its not that the context doesnt exist just because, we all know it does. So, to then argue as if that context is gone… why should we take that as a serious and legit addition to the conversation, when its really not?

                  Its also amusing to see you call me/us “dishonest”, as it seems to be the exact thing you are currently doing. Theres a word for this, and it is, besides being a tried and true tactic of the elephant: projection. Accusing others of what you yourself are or have been doing yourself.

                  So how about it?

                  We don’t. You just don’t have any actual criticisms yoy are bringing up. It’s just whining about made up things and being mad you can’t blatantly act shitty with no consequences anymore.

      They want to keep everything status quo and keep getting paid by lobbyists. Of course there opposite of conservatives until they can actually do something then they don’t because they got elected.

      Maybe don’t have mobs burn down cities over random criminal no. 73648 resisting arrest and getting hurt while resisting arrest? Then you wouldn’t have to placate anyone.
