Every Black woman - every Black person - knows what's coming.
If you, non-Black person, plan on seeing this through, listen to me: the seething, raw & disgusting hatred on its way needs to be drowned out.
Not rationalized, not pontificated, not reacted to, not entertained.
Hear me now.

You might want to let the media know.
Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):
Not the media. Their advertisers. The media think there is no such thing as bad publicity. Their advertisers know different.

the most bloodthirsty people I have ever talked to are otherwise milquetoast liberal grandparents. they want him dead--not martyred, but like "caught covid and wasted away, ideally on Rikers" dead.
Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):
My position is this: If he dies, so too does the opportunity for him to repent, confess, and make amends.
And he owes the world so very much in amends. And he has so very many skeletonclosets to open.

wait, you didn't think the democratic party believed in democracy did u?
Milk (@thespilledmilk.bsky.social):
Hey dumbfrick, if trump wins, democracy is over. That's why we're not playing these stupid games anymore.
Jheya 🏴 (@anthemumspeace.com):
LOL harris polls about the same or worse than Biden, so good luck with that
you best start believing democracy is already over; cuz it is
Milk (@thespilledmilk.bsky.social):
And Hillary polled to crush trump. Kamala has only just begun her campaign, and already has significant support from inside and out of the party.
If you think democracy is over already then just shut the frick up and gtfo of America, we don't need you if you're not voting for democracy.
Jheya 🏴 (@anthemumspeace.com):
So kamala should pick hilalry as VP
do it (:
Jheya 🏴 (@anthemumspeace.com):
thanks btw "omg this is a democracy" believers

VOTE HARDER!
we'll be singing (@lilorphananarchy.bsky.social):
People so worried about having to fascists if democracy ends should don't like to acknowledge the fight is already going because democracy already died.
Milk (@thespilledmilk.bsky.social):
Get the frick out of America, we don't need you, you only serve to harm public discourse and reduce votes for preserving democracy.
Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):
I'm going to - just once - give you the benefit of the doubt, that you really do want Trump to lose.
I want Trump & the GOP to eat shit.
I also know that alienating people doesn't help build the polity to pull that off.
Join me (a trans woman whose life is on the line, literally) in chilling out.
Milk (@thespilledmilk.bsky.social):
These people never were going to vote anyway, they only serve to pull people away from voting and thus exclusively further the goals of the GOP. Join me (also a trans person btw) in not letting these frickers drive voters away from democracy.
Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):
Oh no worries there. I have no reason to believe that the "abandon your vote" message is popular or effective.
Your energy is better spent building, instead of being angry at people who have decided (for whatever reason) that they don't publicly want to be seen to vote.
Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):
There's always going to be people who don't want to vote, and they'll build themselves a reason not to.
There's always going to be people who want to harm others with their vote choice, and they'll build themselves a reason for it.
Those aren't amenable to debate or appeal.
Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

I'll build in the spaces where it's useful, I'll shit on people promoting ideas that lead to fascism when I want, it doesn't take much effort or energy personally, and hopefully marginally sways some people.
Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):
If you can definitely see a probable upside to criticising someone, then it could be worth the effort.
When people are at the point of flying flags declaring their position, though — chances are you're not swaying them.
Respect their choice and come back later - if invited.
Milk (@thespilledmilk.bsky.social):
They deserve no respect, and they deserve no tolerance when the point of contention is allowing America to fall into fascism.
Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):
Everyone deserves respect (except violent bigots) - but especially their boundaries deserve respect.
"I'm not voting and you can't make me" - OK. Maybe they have some other part to play.
I've written logical arguments about why non-voting helps Trump, but people won't read them if they hate me
Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):
I can point out how getting fewer people to vote is a long running fascist tactic. People won't consider it, if I harass them.
Your duty is to "set the table" and invite them. If they don't want to come to the table - find community with those who will.
Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):
I understand the anxiety. There's been three attempts on my life in the past 4 years by Trumpists, neoNazis & transphobes & c.
I know that if Trump swindles a win, I have to get to an undisclosed embassy & file for asylum. Because I've angered so, so many of them.
Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):
It's a nightmare. But I still have my dignity. They can't take it from me.

I feel sorry for Hunter though, maybe Biden will pardon him on the way out.
Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):
He committed to not pardoning him. Doing his sentence (which is small) is part of his sober / 12 step / etc.
And now he isn't a proxy, the GOP machine won't go after him any more.
Michael Love (@elkmovie.bsky.social):
He also said he was staying in the race until today - under the circumstances I don't think anybody will raise much of a fuss if he does it on January 19th.
Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):
He said he'd close his candidacy if there were a health condition, and so I strongly suspect that the in-depth "why" announcement later on will be "diagnosed with X Y Z, which has a 1/2/3 year 50% prognosis blah blah blah", explaining a lot while not stealing thunder

So, the unity from the big names in the Dem party is nice. And, imo, as long as that wall holds and Harris is nominated, it might be okay because she's the only one who can claim to have primary votes cast for her. In a contested convention, nominating someone else, Dems lose. Big. Trifecta big.
