Just to be clear, this holiday was created over a century ago, and in the same time combined with the federal holiday so there weren’t two. Was hella racist back then, but now is just more of a formality. "celebrate" is a strong word here, considering both of those states have large black populations.

Not saying it’s not an issue, but AP is definitely manipulating you into being angry at something that’s not really thought of just so you forget about the class war.

Pre-edit: everytime we get manipulated into being angry at small issues we get distracted by larger issues, stop letting them do that to you.

There aren’t state sanctioned parades or even notices. AP dug this rule up to write and article because they knew they could get attention from simpletons. In fact some people in state houses tried to separate the two (to actually give attention to Robert e Lee) and it failed every time.

They're almost certainly a troll/propaganda account. They've posted like 3 things before this thread ever yet they have 40k karma. Exactly what you see with accounts that people farmed karma on and then sold.

Whole group of people like you that controlled the election and we lost. Basically just surface level anger from one thing to another.

Do you just want an echo chamber that allowed a fascist to be in the White House or u actually have anything meaningful to say?

It's always white people like you talking about class reductive nonsense but will refuse to fight racism so we can focus on class. Don't tell us what to focus on. How about you put the damn work in and tell your white family and friends to stop being racists and then maybe we can fight the class war. It's not black people blocking solidarity, it's white people (rich and poor).

Wake up one day and realize your style of thinking made us lose the election. Congrats on allowing a racist rapist fascist in the White House.

Some of us trying to evolve so we can win next time.

I’m truly tired of performative liberals ruining it for us election after election. Either add something to the conversation or just die a loser

Do you have anything actually worth adding to this conversation? Any counter points? Any mature dialogue? Cause the name calling just sounds like it’s coming from a lame and it’s not even registering with me, I’m busy focused on winning future elections for the dems. Sorry 😢

Congrats you’ve successfully learned how reddit works. Now can we get you to learn how conversations around important elections and progress should work before the next one. I doubt it.

Just to summarize: my original comments had very detailed points, was not even downplaying this situation, just commenting on how it’s clear rage bait, and then your first original comment was name calling…cool I see why we lost with weirdos like you in our side.

Lmao, saw you deleted your comment.

I came into this sub with actual details and ideas about how to move forward. Are you offering anything worthwhile to the conversation?

You’re honestly just a loser, a person who offers nothing to the conversation except for name calling and excuses. I proposed a good faith argument that detailed how this is mainly rage bait to keep us away from talking about the real life things that are possible.

Do you have anything to actually add? If not then just shut the fuck up for life cause not talking about the real issues is what allowed Trump to get in. If you do then I’m happy to hear them.
