He/Him. ACAB. The apocalypse will be means tested. Radicalized by the dishpit. Tongva land occupier. One day our skeets will be taught in a class on the fall of the American Empire (derogatory.)

The thing about Nazis is their speech is all hate speech, all of it, not free speech, because Nazism is predicated on violence and contemporary Nazism is predicated on knowing about genocide and approving of it and wanting to do it again.

I already told you. Your imagination is too small to see the possibilities though.

Not the sort of thing you vote on. More like something people do when they finally have had enough.

How about the people who voted to fund the death camps?

No, burn both parties to the ground, prosecute everyone involved (rep and dem), and build a better world that we deserve.

This is why they make “fell for it again awards” in the first place.

The Democrats have clearly shown they are for Nazism.

Sure, let’s just reinstall the people who ignored all the warnings that fascism was coming, because they were friendly with the fascists, and have done absolutely nothing to slow it down, let alone stop it. Sounds like a plan.

Yes, when the conversation is on the failures of the democrats, bringing up the crimes of the Republicans is indeed whataboutism. The definition of it, in fact.

Just thinking of time Cyndi Lauper made a video for the Goonies movie that was actually a short film itself that featured appearance by Rowdy Roddy Piper, the Iron Sheik, and other WWF stars as well as several Benihana yakitori chefs. youtu.be/LxLhytQ67fs?...

NEWS: CBS News head of standards Claudia Milne has quit. It was announced in the network’s 9 am editorial meeting. Bari Weiss was not on the call. According to a source, Milne gave thanks but did not say why she’s leaving the network.

Thanks for providing another example. Whataboutism is a problem for the Democrats. Instead of analyzing your failures and correcting them to appeal to more voters, they just point at Republicans and go “well they’re worse” and that is not a viable strategy to win elections.

Democrats who have been calling for bipartisanship for years: “I don’t know I missed that.”

It smacks of another McKinsey op.

This sort of thinking got Trump elected. Democrats inability to look critically at the failures of their party and shifting the blame entirely into the republicans makes voters think you are just more of the same. One your mistakes, learn, and be better.

“Coming under strain from who?” Goose meme ass headline.

most cops who are police in the cities that ICE is targeting don’t even live in those communities nor do they see the residents as people; they dehumanize to varying degrees & see us as something to control — that’s why i’m suggesting the framing i did here

I read the piece. You shouldn't. He dismisses the "No Kings" protests as liberals in blue cities. He invokes Rosa Parks, as if rural white people in the 60s loved everything that the movement then was doing. "We need a movement but not this one" is a core centrist tact these days.
