For laughs Michael Harriot twitter post *Warning Twitter heavy post*




I think I broke Twitter's algorithm or they're just fucking with me.


He thinks he's making a joke about twitter and how it connects people. The only problem is he's so stupid he doesn't realize twitter is shading him. Soon as I saw his post. I recognized two people that voted for a third party or wrote in; you know who's name. One Magat idiot that voted for Trump and Harriot. A fool that loudly proclaimed on twitter he didn't vote for Hillary in 2016.




Sorry. Didn't vote for Hillary. Didn't give a damn about her or Trump


I used to post his and other Root.com articles to this forum. I find his writing on race and society insightful. Unfortunately, his political opinions and that of the root are hot garbage as they proscribe to bothsidesism

who most black people cast a decidedly side eye at, no matter what his former voting record is?

In trying to point out that those individuals are awful for their views, and he didn't vote. Which makes him equally as terrible in my eyes. I won't forget that he couldn't vote for Hillary.

On my "You might also like" list was Trump, and a bunch of other right-wing idiots.

Since they are exactly the OPPOSITE of the few folks I actually follow (President Obama, first Lady Michelle Obama, Sec. Clinton, etc.) I did wonder if twitter was being a little sarcastic today.

"Black folks who beleive Trump and Hillary are the same" would look about right
