Your distance from reality is abominable. You live in a fool’s paradise when you think that white supremacy is a ‘rather stupid ideology’ we should disagree with in polite conversations without ‘name-calling’ and ‘grandstanding’. But that’s to be expected. White supremacy is an inherently hateful ideology. And you…

What absurdities you deal in. Those ‘serious disagreements’ are about lives. You neatly sidestepped any responsibility by claiming that you are not a white supremacist. So, white supremacy is just a quaint ideology to politely disagree with? If not, then why not? What sets it apart from being just a ‘serious…

You’re criticizing liberals for lumping all Republicans together as “Satan incarnate,” etc. - but we’re not all like that. At all. Jez commenters do tend to skew very liberal and also are very outspoken - so by coming here you’re not really getting a cross-section of Democrats, you’re getting about the farthest and…

You realize those demonstrations you mention are exacerbated by right-wing/white supremacist groups who show up to intentionally start shit, yes? I don’t think anyone should be proud of the way some of these things have gone, but that’s not exactly evidence that “liberals” are “violent.”

No, they take up arms and shot black and brown skinned immigrants and walk into African American churches and open fire and in schools, trains, malls, medical clinics and city streets wherever there are minorities. They must become white extremist terrorists. And the shooter yesterday was just doing exactly what the…

Two words: Gabrielle Giffords.

LOL

No, I am a Spanish (from Barcelona) French Jew...the majority of hate crimes in America are against Jews at 57% though I believe as of 2015 hate crimes against Muslims jumped 67% (this breaks my heart)! I am far from ignorant about race. I do know that it is easier to live in certain parts of the country than others…

A white woman from my work explained to me why she voted for Trump.
After saying the repetitive bullshit of crooked Hillary, she then said the honest truth: “I don’t believe a woman in the same position would get as much respect as a man from the world.”
THE ENTIRE WORLD JUST CAME OUT AND DISRESPECTED HIM.
I’m glad…

I was researching / writing memoranda to attach to filings trying to counter the Rethuglicans’ sneak attacks on community policing and voting rights.

APATHY ELECTED TRUMP! 42% OF ELIGIBLE VOTERS STAYED HOME! GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT!

Ouch!

I don’t think anyone is saying that. Just that the left does have a habit of being way better at being AGAINST something than at being united FOR anything.

Yup. We fucking suck at shit, even those of us who are trying.

Well, maybe, but also quite possibly not.

The problem with saying “organize your people” is that clearly, my people are idiots and don’t want to consider anyone else’s point of view.

“You need to organize your people”

It’s a well composed photo, but like the famous one of young people in Brooklyn on 9/11, it shows a narrative that might not be the one going on.

But to accuse women who are brave enough to talk honestly about their own experiences of creating division is ridiculous. That’s your division there. I felt good, and…

I ran backwards to capture this picture after passing these women, slightly throwing them off I think.

I think we made it maybe a solid 24 hours past one of, if not the largest protest movements before we entered the “well actually” phase where the left fractures along rifts of who is more/less “liberal”.
