This is why you hold them accountable…

/2 First, it presumes you have the right “they” — that this person the state has captured is, in fact, a person who has violated the rights of another. What kind of servile dunce to you have to be to trust the state to get it right?

It would be great if that person were also strongly bland on every progressive issue, like just barely pretending she gave a fuck about certain groups that historically vote for Dems because that would make the other side sad or whatever

I don't know if you realize that the debate "for Democrats" was just them being attacked on this point by Republicans over and over and over for years? They ran on this. I agree that most people are motivated by other issues, but this is what they ran on. Why are you blaming the Dems for that

I pledge allegiance to the flag...one nation, invisible...
