Nah, I still feel sorry for her. She’s like my mother—a nice lady whose terrified, warped husband has addled her brain with propaganda and conspiracy theory.

I’m sure you understand that the photo’s composition is not explicitly blaming the white women in the background.

Obvious hypocracy is a significant part of the psychological warfare being waged here.

The reactionary right has successfully co-opted the left’s language and conception of justice and weaponized them against us. Dark days.

When black blocc tactics work.

As someone who has a bad habit of black-and-white thinking, your position on this issue is too black-and-white (no pun intended). Not everyone is bad. Some are just confused, lied to, naive, isolated, or frightened. There’s enough of them to coerce over to our side. The left has been able to do it in the past. We can

I understand the frustration, but one of the things that politics inherently is is the art of convincing people to join your side. If we aren’t doing that, then we aren’t doing politics.

Try to respond substantively next time. Pat dismissal is boring.

It seems to me that he is the only person out there on the front lines fighting against Trump so vociferously. Hillary has disappeared.

Majorities of the black voters that DID vote, voted for her. That’s true.

The “base” you keep referring to turned out to actually only be Obama’s, not the Democratic Party’s.

Booker’s stated reason for voting against it was “safety concerns.” So what are you on about?

WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU PEOPLE EVEN CARE ABOUT DEMOCRATIC PARTY ALLEGIANCE? Do you consider yourself a proud Democrat? Is it a part of your personal fucking identity? Do you work at the DNC headquarters everyday or knock on doors during every goddamn DNC election because you’re just ALL ABOUT THAT DEMOCRATIC PARTY CAUSE.

Actually the order was “capture or kill” but Seal Team Six didn’t even bother with the capture part.

So now Trump et al. are trying to stave off the possibility of a military coup, too?

But I’m not trying to troll you. I think it’s a good conversation the left should be having with itself. Where our tactics fail, and where they succeed.

You dismissed a salient, substantive reply. Why?

“Guys, stop fighting and get in line with the feel-good, Love Trumps Hate white people liberal program”

Correct. And this is why merely pointing and laughing at them or protesting them hoping that they will be shamed into behaving in good faith are ineffective tactics. The only way to succeed to to build a power base to rival theirs and take them on directly.

Where have you been for the last 8 years? If you think hurting the right’s fee-fees is tantamount to wielding power (especially political power) you are delusional. They don’t care.
