How did you find out you had this?

Au Contraire @jcontraire.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

This isn't about political correctness. This is about reality. Black Dems are often ignored, pushed aside, or taken for granted. I see it. Don't tell me it's raining when someone is pissing on me.

It's there, but as Whites we have to pay attention to it happening since we don't encounter it as often. Following and really listening to what Black Dems say is helpful. I've been working on listening a lot and it helps because you hear multiple people tell similar stories.

I understand electoral politics and that we have to win to create change, but at some point you have to draw the line for yourself and say no, we can’t excuse this or we’re becoming the thing we’re supposed to be fighting

It's a psychological trick to get around our mental defenses. It's not cute, it's targeted to disarm us.

Feels like a good time for a thread about all things exercise for people living with infection (and exposure)-associated complex chronic illnesses (IACCs) such as #MECFS, #LongCOVID and chronic #Lyme /tick- and vector-borne illness. Let’s start with a trip down memory lane. 1/

The vast majority of the left/leftists want the same things, but we've been led to believe that there are big differences. There are a few, to be sure. But a lot of the differences are about how to achieve what we want, not about WHAT we want. None of it matters if we don't win, which is the point.

Au Contraire @jcontraire.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

I feel like we need to help everyone see the big picture of how we're all being manipulated to fight each other. Those who want power purposely picked some visceral topics to bypass the reasoning part of our brains and go straight to the lizard brain. We need to reject the premise and be strategic.

Right now he can't act because he doesn't have enough Dems to have power. If he had Dems and effed it up, that would be fair criticism. But in the past he's done a good job when he had the numbers, so again, why do we want to spend our time and energy on this?

010

Au Contraire @jcontraire.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

Why such a strong reaction to him? Again, I would say that there are vested interests in our spending our time and energy arguing about him rather than getting as many Dems elected as possible. If we get enough Dems elected we have actual power and tweets won't matter, action will.

Au Contraire @jcontraire.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

Here's another way of looking at this. There are lots of vested interests in driving a schism between everyone on the left. Since authoritarianism isn't popular, it's easier to break the opposition. The problems people have with him objectively aren't that big of a deal, and yet they want him out.

Yes, they clearly trashed everything and never wanted anything good for the people. Every single one of them. Totally the same as the right. Thanks for enforcing the learned helplessness propaganda.

Thank you. It's especially tough for a kid who is incredibly sweet but who has struggled most of her life (and was finally making progress before she got sick) be misunderstood over and over again. Some of her difficulties are with ADLs, and there are so many assumptions if you struggle with them.

That's fun to say, but that's not all they're doing and it's objectively just not true. The letters, for example, serve a legal purpose. The narrative that Dems are useless and no better than the right contributes to lower voter support for left leaning politicians.

We can be kind AND understand that there are those who don't share our values and wish to do us harm. We can understand that they will use our kindness to manipulate us into destroying ourselves. We can understand that not falling for the propaganda ultimately saves way more lives and heartache.

Au Contraire @jcontraire.bsky.social · 13/05/2026

I feel like I'm going mad as I see many on the left fall for propaganda specifically designed to divide the left, demand the left leaders adopt those views (who then do), as left media reinforce the righteousness of the propaganda's positions. WTF are we doing here?
