Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist - T.E.R.F.

Trump and Sanders hit a lot of the same, very resonant notes in their campaigns because they were both addressing the same, very real issues. You might not have noticed Trump promising universal healthcare or talking about how politicians get bought off by corporations who then ship jobs overseas with the trade deals

That’s preposterous. Left wing extremists want EVERYONE to have food, healthcare and dignity so badly that they are willing to take up arms against militarily superior oppressors if necessary. For Right wing extremists, taking up arms is always necessary because they want to provide good things for a small in-group by

One problem with identity politics is that the scolding tenor it so often takes has a tendency to suck all the oxygen out of a room and make people who aren’t already sympathetic become dismissive and annoyed with stuff Democrats like” when they probably could be won over with promises of universal healthcare or legal

Here’s hoping Biden doesn’t replace them with somebody worse.

Ditching these Trump goons is a good thing but Biden has put more than 3 bad people on his cabinet though. People like Avril Haines whose resume includes destroying evidence to cover up torture and spying on US senators. Or Tom Vilsack whose career has a recurring theme of screwing over non-white farmers.

Yeah, the money in politics thing is a huge problem. Luckily, money isn’t the only type of pressure and certainly not always the most effective.

It’s hard but the basic game plan is to ask a lot of questions while maintaining a friendly, non-patronizing demeanor and try to emphasize points of agreement or shared goals whenever possible. The key is to indirectly prompt critical thinking without being perceived as an enemy who should just be ignored. 

I like to think of politicians like balloons tied to rocks and pressure campaigns like winds trying to push them in one direction or another. Every primary is a chance to get someone in with their rock placed a little closer to where you want it so you won’t need to pressure them as much in order to get what you’re

Some might say the traction black liberation gained over the summer was due to the violent minority who made the ruling class genuinely nervous about the far larger, not-yet-violent crowd. Fun fact: the years leading up to the New Deal saw armed leftists marching on Washington and being repelled with tanks. When FDR

Consider this: if you don’t “allow” Americans to have guns then you create a situation where the only people that have guns are the fucking cops. That seems worse than the shitty situation we have now

Dana White is an exploitative scumbag (and a close associate of Trump)....just saying.

You sure there aren’t sympathizers IN the military? I wish more people understood that fascism is a process that happens when a fading empire deploys imperialist enforcement against it’s own people.

The CIA is just as sinister as these insurrectionists if not more so. Any energy those scumbags spend fighting each other is a win for the rest of America (and the world for that matter)

I genuinely do feel bad for her as much as I do for the kid she traumatized. I'm hoping you're cynical pessimism is wrong and she manages to learn from this experience and grow into a better person. 

Hell yeah! Getting raped by our carceral system will definitely make this woman better and benefit society at large! We should end racism by building more prisons

I much prefer seeing people with actual power face these kinds of consequences

Or maybe that kid was the first person she saw with an iphone that looked similar to hers and her panic/desperation got the better of her? I think its possible to act like a shitty, self-centered person without being deliberately malicious about it (i.e. choosing a vulnerable target). 

I assaulted people on a number of occasions when I was young and emotionally unwell. Glad it was never caught on film and I never got arrested for it though. And I'm ESPECIALLY glad it never turned me into a viral avatar for shit that is wrong with society
