Oh, ALL of this

I remember that the emptiest threat my college handed suspected drug dealers was “this is an actual crime and legally we have to report it to the police, unless of course you [snitch on your roommate, tell us which dirty hippie has the fucky Acid that freshman took, have rich parents, whatever]”

Censoringpolitical speech is censoring political speech is censoring political speech. Need a more recent example? We shut down the German-American Bunds during the war, and as you know, America hasn’t had a single problem with racism since. Jokes aside, who’s going to do the censorship? That sounds like a job for the…

Officially banning sedition is a very dangerous road to start down. The last people to try that were the anti-federalists- heard from those guys lately?

The article about Chapo Trap House? I mean, I see how that relates to beards, but it doesn’t really have anything to do with the rest of your comment. To begin with, if you’d read past the first paragraph, you might have noticed that they’re not all men. Or that their use of a “creepy” idiom was directed at noted…

Or, hear me out, the Democratic Party actually is going through a rough time right now. Because they are experiencing bitter, internecine fighting after a humiliating loss. Just like every other political organization in the world does from time to time.

No, Hillary Clinton was aggressively against, for example, a $15 dollar minimum wage. These are not retreads of points she made inher campaign. They are repudiations of her campaign platform. Since they’re coming from the same people who created that platform, it’s hard to imagine they’re sincere.

Do you not actually know what genes are?

All corn comes from Michoacán. Some GMO corn comes from Monsanto. None of it is dangerous if you’re not diabetic. Thanks for confirming that a little knowledge can be even more dangerous than none at all.

Thinking that doesn’t make you a communist, but wanting to do something about it might. Socialism needs to not be a dirty word anymore.

Maybe he’s like one of those people who assume tomatoes are from Italy because they’re so common there

By no means am I defending the Democrats. I consider both parties guilty of the same crime (The Republicans have only caught up with the tendency towards vagueness in the last year or so). Compare this to any other third party- the Communists have more concrete policy statements in their freaking slogan than in the…

Please, do explain what’s not to get about direct quotations from the party manifesto.

The “easy reading” is literally literally just the section headings from the party platform. Did you try clicking on any of them?

How, they’re basically indistinguishable

It lifts directly from the Party manifesto, so I’m not sure how using the exact same pullquotes is a reading comprehension fail, but it’s OK, there’s really no pressure on Centrists* to respond to anything. Ever. We really don’t mind.

the Democratic National Committee has new leadership

I feel like all that really means is “The Democrats will not win another election until they get their house in order,” which, yes, is true, but I don’t think you can pin the existence of disagreement on one side or the other of any given issue.

No, “Answers to wealth inequality are out there; ask the people” isn’t a fucking economic policy, it’s a lengthy way of saying “Tax Scheme TBD.” “Repeal ‘3 strikes, you’re out’ laws” isn’t under the purview of the Federal Government and shouldn’t be part of a national platform. “Replace male domination with respect of…

Fly through Turkey and take a bus to Raqqa, I guess? I don’t think they even make you learn Arabic anymore
