How will it hurt Labour when it has nothing to do with Labour?

I’d argue that professionalism—the kind that demands a tight-lipped, unified front even in the face of negative pushback—is warranted and even laudable in the right situations. Working for a boss/company/organization that is pushing through a rough patch on the way to doing good for others (or at least not doing evil)…

Yes, let’s all support false imprisonment; it’s the only way to keep the Democratic party together! GTFO with that nonsense.

Yes, I do say that is the implication here. 

Except, as the article pointed out, the Republicans suffered no ill-effects from shutting down the government; in fact they were rewarded with the Senate majority they continue to maintain. They also suffered very little for impeaching Clinton, winning the presidency in 2000 after suffering losses in proportion to…

You appear to think you’re painting me into some type of corner with this slippery slope bs. You’re not.

Right to protest exists for everyone. Rights to hate speech however, are limited. As are many types of speech in the US.

The legal limitations on hate speech include written law (albeit narrowly), and precedent.…

Primary. Presidential primary.

Depends on who you consider “own own,” but if your definition includes cops, border patrol, ICE, or prosecutors that drove mass incarceration and locked people up for crimes they didn’t commit, it isn’t one I want anything to do with. 

The sad part is that they’ve already succeeded by being born into white, upper-middle-class families, and they’ll continue to fail upwards while still bitching about liberals, immigrants, etc.

I have locked my doors and windows because Antifa Super-Soldiers may be on their way to take away my rights at this very moment.

Wow, an entire room full of scientists, medal of honor recipients, poet laureates, philanthropists, humanitarians, and successful doctors and lawyers.

Just kidding. It’s a room full of current assholes perpetually living with their parents who will grow up thinking all they need to do is wait around for someone to make…

I’m starting to suspect that criminal justice reform is low on the list of priorities for democrats. 

Yes. Punching anyone outside of self defense (even Nazis) is considered assault. People punching Nazis know they’re breaking the law, and are ok with the possible repercussions.

And it makes that footage of Spencer getting his due that much more gratifying.

This is pretty offensive bad faith, because the traditional prison system and the immigrant detention system are two sides of the same coin and the same “well, they’re a “bad person” so they deserve whatever happens to them” impulse animates both.

*note: if you vote against unconditionally funding concentration camps Pelosi will openly attack you for not knowing your place

You do understand that the conservative “centrists” have been calling the shots all along? They are the ones that keep failing to kick republican Lucy’s football over and over and over and over and over again. They are the ones that keep saying defeatist and weak garbage like “impeachment is off the table”.

If you really listen, you can almost hear Ted Cruz yelling on the floor of the Senate that Congress shouldn’t raise the debt limit by one more dollar unless President Bernie Sanders promises to drop his demand for Medicare for All—or conversely, unless President Joe Biden promises not to sign a public option with…

“The purity faction” doesn’t care about the debt ceiling, though. That would be the moderate centrists.

the most pragmatic stance of all is to huddle in the corner, whimpering softly, for fear Mitch McConnel might call you divisive if you didn’t

And while she might have saved us an iota of political drama this time around, we’ll be all the worse off for it if it kills the next president’s agenda before it even has a chance to get off the ground.
