October 14th is George Floyd Remembrance Day

Discuss...

Take back October 14, make it George Floyd Remembrance Day for your personal remembrance. Don't make a movement out of it. Simply remember George Floyd, not TFG.

We don't want the competition, simply the replacement.

There is no convincing the maga cult, so this is not about a competition.

When there is a moment of silence, make it for JFK, MLK Jr or pick our own leftist to remember.

Democratize the day. Don't let the cult monopolize the day.

This alone is going to piss off the cult if a few Democrats are opting to remember another person.

And it is good for personal choice, so they have no clue which deceased Democrat to attack.
