A key part of the story of the 2000 election is that the Gore campaign chose a litigation only strategy while the Republican shipped a bunch of staffers down to disrupt recounts.

That same 30% are the unabashed fascists in the country. It's always 30 to 35%. 30% would say to bring back chattel slavery if they were sure the survey was anonymous.

it's worth noting 1) that there's a longstanding tradition of trying to play solidarity against basic self-respect and 2) that the Combahee River Collective's coining of the term "identity politics" was directly in response to this
i also believe in building a better world for workers. i also believe that all people are entitled to respect and dignity and that there ought to be social sanction for those who openly degrade others. you call me a “n*gger” to my face and i am not going to smile and shake your hand.
