Right. The Dems don’t have to cater to racists to win elections. That’s why Hillary Clinton beat Donald Trump in a landslide...

Man, I never realized how deep anti-intellectualism is in this country. I thought it was a right wing only thing. Turns out the democrats are just as bed. It’s quite depressing.
Why should we even talk to the niggers? They’re not gonna vote for Republicans simply because we aren’t racist.
The Democrat has received 48 per cent of votes counted so far compared to Mr Trump’s 46.7 per cent, according to figures compiled by the Cook Political Report.
Being an opponent to free speech is not opposing fascism. It IS fascism. Sorry.
Jost is saying that liberals should deemphasize equal rights for all people because it alienates rednecks.
Because the make up half the country. And if you want to actually be in power so that you can help the minorities rather than have the republicans step on them with their jackboots, you’ll need to get some of the racists on your side.
Very, very, true.
“Trump supporters voted because of jobs, not racism, sexism, homophobia!”
“Cool, so we can keep supporting the marginalized/calling out racism, sexism and homophobia, while supporting economic development in rural communities?”
Either you think that the political and social left erred in pushing for equality for trans and other gender non-conforming people, or you don’t.
floydmaster’s comment is yet another example of how people don’t understand what “free speech” means outside the context of the First Amendment.
Your problems are many...but this is the biggest one. That last part is exactly what the First Amendment prohibits. It doesn’t take a constitutional lawyer to understand that. Just a basic understanding of American law and the Constitution.
But that doesn’t matter to him.
Fun fact: The US Bill of Rights did NOT in fact invent the concept of free speech. Shocking, I know!
What does it say about your position that you immediately jump to fallacious exaggeration, reductio ad absurdum, and strawmen?
Nasreddin is saying that the left’s use of ‘shame and public perception’ helped to create an environment where the government doing it was inevitable.
The idea that any form of speech should be defended is morally bankrupt and completely untenable in any civilized society. There’s a swastika in a Brooklyn playground that loves your comment, though.

Now, let me take no joy in predicting how we’ll see exactly the same thing, but from the right, and with all the tools of Government.
