Hopefully they will actually start supporting civil rights. Stand up for trans people. Trans healthcare is healthcare. Say it full-throated, Governor.

Weak empty platitudes. He's out of touch and needs to retire. VA Dems continue to be not up to the task.

I've found "bigotry" to be factually accurate and rethorically effective. Anti-trans bigotry.

The issue is the article. It boosts the unproven claim that Mondomi's proposals will be bad for business, and broaches Mondomi's accused antisemitim without correction. He's not. His statements are numerious.

Your instincts are correct. It's a deeply lazy article. A quote aknowledges Miami's struggle to court business but the article does not explicitly give any context.

I'm taking the time and I understand, I just don't think the point is pertinent or particularity insightful.
Tim Snyder is someone I think has done effective work on putting our current situation in proper context with actionable insights AND hope.
I do appreciate the discussion, though, so thx!

The names?! The names.
Every article that doesn't lead with facts about the manufactured nature of this immigration "crisis" and the historical context of the current deportation strategy (Carl Schmitt's fascist playbook) is failing the public.

Not at all. Merely questioning the relevance of the distinction. If someone's drowning and screams, "help I'm drowning in this pond!" What's the purpose of stopping to say *well actually* it's a lake, before you help them.

So sick of the paternalistic establishment dems who haven't felt the anxiety of not knowing how they will feed their childern or pay for healthcare in a very very long time, if ever. Vote them all out.

or the fact that people are being harmed now by fascist policies. So whether or not we are *actually* a fascist state means little to them. If the state's boot is on your neck does it matter what kind of boot it is?

You missed the question I was asking if you think I was being defeatist or submissive.

I think you may be conflating the power differential I was bringing up with defeatism and submissiveness. I was asking a sincere question.
How much does it matter to the people who are being harmed NOW by fascist policies on whether or not we're *actually* living under a fascist state?

but if you're a mouse, a tiger or house cat is a distinction without a difference, no?

Bigots who would never vote for a Dem did not vote for Earl-Sears, a black woman.
No one not directly engaged with Spanberger's campaign knew anything about her outside of "not Republican." It was her campaign to lose.

I think maybe you've just told on yourself in regards to the quality of realtionships you had in your 20s?

Not only that, but it's also just NOT TRUE. Establishment Dems cannot see it for themselves so they think it can't be done.

The condescension in your replies is the same kind of condescension that needs to be excised from the Dem party if it's to have any relevance in the near future. If Dems think their moderate wins are anything but "better than the other guy" they are deluding themselves.
