  • Ocoee 1920 - "The bloodiest election in modern American history”

    Was when a group a African-American land owners tried to vote, but a certain racist white group stopped them at the polls.

    In Ocoee the Klan began threatening the Black community three weeks before the 1920 election, claiming that “not a single Negro would be permitted to vote.” Moreover, the Florida Klan’s grand master sent a letter to two local Republican officials, threatening to retaliate if Black and white officials continued instructing local African Americans on how to cast ballots and pay poll taxes. “We shall always enjoy WHITE SUPREMACY in this country,” the letter read, “and he who interferes must face the consequences.”

    After some African American men still tried to vote, got turned away, then came back later to get the suppressors names like an Orlando judge advised them to do, the white people went full KKK and started killing up to 60 African-Americans and burning thier prominent buildings. The deceased had their bodies torn apart for ‘trophies’. The surviving African-Americans were forced out if they didnt leave on thier own will

    The one upside is 2 Klan members were killed during.

    Still absolutely vile though

  • No, all this happened because of people like you who fracture the democratic position.

    The republican side can do no wrong to their voters. They can push for whatever and still get everyone on their side to vote for them.

    Meanwhile, people like you need the party to be perfect to vote for them. People like you yell the loudest about how your not happy with the democratic leaders not being perfect so it causes others to also not vote, even though they didn’t look into what actually happened.

    You all and your pursuit of a perfect left candidate allowed the right to be facist, because they saw all the in fighting between us and just kept stepping right

    You grow the fuck up


  • The first one is a lie. Just so much was going on he couldn’t stop the republicans from going forward with leaded gas

    The second one doesn’t make and sense. They werent fighting for HIV help when HIV wasn’t a problem. We’ll yeah it wasn’t a problem yet! But once it actually became a problem the democrats were pretty quick to try to jump to help before the 80s was over. Being mainly held back by, yup, Republicans.

    And the last one just makes you an asshole. How dare democrats have some patriotism after the biggest attack on the country. Literally most everyone was for the war at first, and if you weren’t you were anti American. And who spread the sentiment around? You know it was Republicans. After the wave of blind patriotism was over who was opposed to the Iraqi invasion?

    From the article you posted

    on Meet the Press in 2007, Biden defended his false claims about Iraqi WMDs by falsely insisting that “everyone in the world thought he had them. The weapons inspectors said he had them.”

    So when Bush (a Republican) pushed for the war, it was pretty controversial to go against it cause you were pretty un patriotic. But did the majority of democrats vote for it any way? No! The vote was 296-133

    126 democrats, 6 republicans, and one independent voted against it. So, it seems again the democrats were on the “better” side.

    But keep acting like they’re the same.
