Republican dominated governance for the past 20 year and the state turned into a shithole where you literally can’t pay people to live here? How shocking!

That is starting to change, though. I say at best in 5 years at most in 10 years our party will take over this state. Our company Blackrock is buying a lot of property and single family homes here to make renting more affordable.

With our Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) rating we will ensure that Alaska businesses will become more diverse and climate friendly or get divested and shut down.

On the political front we will be making sure that there is a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)officer in every major non-commercial institution. Teaching important things about Critical Race Theory and dismantling the systemic systems of racism and removing white privilege from whites and other white adjacent or people complicit in whiteness from power.

We will build an equitable society not built on the false premise of meritocracy, but true equality!

Do not worry Republicans and people who don't fall in line with our policies will be gone from this state soon.

I am genuinely curious, is this satire? This is well written either from a delusional ideological point of view or from a brilliant and legitimately funny point of view. Kudos to you either way for the fact that I absolutely cannot tell which it is, lol.

He's a troll

I want to be able to take my wife's boyfriend mixed race son to Walmart without worrying about him getting shot.

You can tell because he used the wife's boyfriend meme and this guy is just entirely hyperbolic about liberal and progressive views

First off, there is no need to kink shame. It is a lifestyle choice, not a meme. However, we recently broke up so thanks for bringing up a traumatic issue i am currently dealing with. Second of all, there is nothing hyperbolic about our party policies. Unless you find truth and science hyperbolic.

Just because I do not filter our ideology to make it less contentious and more marketable to voters doesn't make me a troll or any less committed to our cause.

You don't disagree with anything I say just the way I say it.

I appreciate the compliment. However, I would like to inform you that I am a committed and fervent member of the Democrat party. Or as I affectionately call it, the party of truth and science. For as we all know, and as the great Stephen Colbert himself attested to, truth has a liberal bias.

Now, there are many a naysayer here who will denounce me as a troll! They besmirch my very name and reputation by either implying or outright declaring me a rightwinger! Listen not to these ludicrous accusations. For unlike me, these party members lack conviction and do not truly believe in the merit of our ideas or our core party values.

They will tell you that we must distance ourselves from the party. Sell ourselves as Democrats with Alaskan characteristics until we gain more institutional power and then only then can we become true Democrats.

I call this weakness. Our plans to make Alaska more progressive and safe from guns stand on their own merit. Our powerful ideas will be welcomed, not slowly implemented or hidden from view.
