This has alway’s been the case.

The group organizing our local counter rally is a complete shitshow I know on the day that MANY people are going to show up and lend their bodies to the group (me included), but the infighting now would be comical if it wasn’t just so damn depressing.

This assumes her audience understands that kind of subtlety. Most (white) people think it’s “brilliant”, and not because it’s shaming people for their head in the sand (cake) inertia.

History is complex. Individuals are complex.

Do you seriously think there were no people in the 1700s who knew that slavery was an intolerable moral atrocity? Because, uh, history says otherwise.

Whether or not they were pieces of shit (boy howdy, they were), Americans revere the Founding Fathers for the, uh, not piece of shit things they did, like creating the modern conception of republican government. I’m not saying we shouldn’t tear their statues down, but if we let them stand there’s at least a reason to…

You must be fun at parties.

There will never be a successful third party in this country because the election system will always lead toward two major parties. The only way a third party wins any sort of significant power in this country is if it becomes one of the two major parties. First Past The Post ensures this - if a third party started…

The right wing controls all 3 branches, and has yet to deliver a intelligible “principle” on anything.

Have you ever heard of Hillary Clinton?

Centrist: I ignore that the two party system is supported by the laws and regulations already established by said parties in their own interests.

“am chivalrous (not just an act) every single day”

Yeah, like I get the “Am I doing something wrong” panic, that can easily happen even if you objectively know facts about female sexuality, but christ dude, an app about helping women enjoy sex makes you worry about feminist leaning man haters? He has some serious issues with women.

I was attempting to be ironic, but clearly based on these two comment responses, have failed. Who even uses such a roundabout term to describe women except a backwards ass misogynist leaning woman hater type? Oh wait, I forgot... he said he was also chivalrous, so that’s alright then! *cough*

True, it is hard to discern the motivations of fictional straw monsters conjured by MRA assholes.

I treat her very well, I give her preference in nearly everything, and am chivalrous (not just an act) every single day. She makes me very happy, and is very sweet, beautiful, smart and loveable.

While I don’t consider myself a centrist and haven’t for many years, I don’t think we should be so dismissive of centrists that we say they entirely lack a belief system. It’s severely flawed, but they have one - they believe that the status quo is pretty good, for the most part, and that everything would be better…

The only (and I mean only!) problem with this is all the dopey Democrats who insist they’re on the left while they try to sell arms to foreign theocrats and try to send parents to jail when their kids skip class and tell Nina Turner to get back to the cotton fields where she belongs. They’re so sure of this that it’d…

I hear jack boots in the night! O.O

Lol, this is the best you can do?
