oh you know the mid-far left, they love to take things out of context and then exaggerate them
get those feelings and emotions kicking so they can win more votes
The problem I have with the far left is the whole idea of "if you're a minority and vote for a conservative candidate, you're voting against your race/interests!" That kind of behavior is incredibly demeaning and, get ready for it,
tribal. I get a massive amount of stuff from my "progressive" peers and it's just loving infuriating, for a lot of reasons.
1. Yes, I'm an Indian. That doesn't pidgeonhole me into having liberal views or voting left.
2. No, minorities are not helpless children that need your crony bullstuff
3. Preferential treatment is tribal, regardless of how you try to justify it
4. My identity as an American supersedes my race as an Indian. That shouldn't even be a question that has to be asked or an assumption that is made.
I just think that it's really frustrating to hear the idea that conservatives are "tribal" or that the left is "progressive." Honestly both can go forget themselves but the right slightly less. Identity politics are bullstuff and have to go, and the sheer amount of race baiting from the left that goes on daily really does piss me off to no end.
Like forget if it isn't frustrating having to explain to people that I hold absolutely zero hatred in my heart for stuff that happened in the past, but what is frustrating to me is that thing still haven't been mended in the present. Indian children are literally kidnapped and adopted for a fee (that goes to the gov't pockets), which, if I'm not mistaken, is human trafficking. Indian art is integral to American culture but the people who make it are often living on the edge of poverty. It's honestly just infuriating to me that so many promises are made and nothing is done.
