“We will not stop calling out and fighting back against extremist, so-called leaders who try to prevent our children from learning our true and full history,” the vice president said in Florida.

    Can we step back for a second and just soak up the fact that it’s 2023 and some presidential candidates still want to debate the benefits of owning humans?

    I know MLK Jr said

    The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice

    But man, that arc seems so long that a flat earther would deny there’s a curve at all.

      A white racist piece of shit wants to debate the vice president who is a black woman. I sure thought we had made progress over the last 50 years, but of course we haven’t.

        It’s depressing as shit. I’m with you on previously thinking that we were making progress.

        I detest that this is still happening, and I loathe the people who are still doing it. It might be judgemental, but at least I judge people based on their actions against others instead of what they look like.
