    Damn guys, did you hear? BIPOC leftists created democracy in the form of a settler-colonial slave state built on the bones of a murdered indigenous population. You learn something new every day!

      yeah

      If it weren’t for us, there wouldn’t be any democracy and the bourgeois wouldn’t be trying to take it away every day.

      The only reason you can elect anyone is because of people like us

        In absolute awe of this take. There is no democracy that was won, simply pittances of control given to the few of us as a means of letting off revolutionary steam. The US did not become and never was democratic for the vast majority, only for the rich class, it’s just that some still quite marginalized identities had small subsections allowed to ascend to the rich class.
