Flynn is openly advocating an actual military coup. He is a traitor.

I read the Tennessean article linked above. It says that Byrd is a former teacher and principal. 3 girls on a high school basketball team have accused him of sexual assault. He hasn’t denied the accusations, but he has claimed that he’s done nothing wrong "while in office."  Seems to me that Covid may be doing…

I know it will never happen, but the idea of throwing 126 traitorous Republicans from the House makes me hot.

Meanwhile, Democratic Congressman Bill Parscale has had enough with the antics: He wants to block the swearing-in of the 126 members who signed the amicus brief, arguing that they are could be considered traitorous.

Naw, this is that person who NEVER learns the lesson. Ever.

A lot of it is fear. The presence of a pandemic significantly uproots people’s lives, and people would rather lie to themselves and deny that it’s happening than actually deal with the problem. It’s a way to maintain control in a world that’s increasingly becoming chaotic.

Can we just take the Impeached Orange Dumbsicle loser, his grifting family and all of their followers and put them on an island so they can create their own little country with snausage fingers as their Dear Leader? The overgrown man-baby can buy an island with “water all around” it and they can all not socially…

“I don’t give a fuck about anyone but me.”

It’s almost like power corrupts.

Mandatory 2 terms or 65 years old whichever comes first.

Lord I cant tell if this is sarcasm or not.

What we really need is a slogan that doesn’t mean anything, doesn’t scare anyone and doesn’t motivate anyone.

The worst part about this is that the Squad types can’t just take a minor L on this slogan and pivot to a more appealing message. This inherent “I’m right and no one can tell me otherwise” attitude from the Left is sinking all their goals, short- and long-term, and they are too stubbornly ignorant to admit that they…

So, progressives shouldn’t advocate for progressive policy?

I’m glad to see a general consensus here that this slogan is horrible. Any of your suggestions would be a huge improvement. If the people calling for us to “defund the police,” are to be taken literally, then I want nothing to do with that. I live a few blocks from the site of the homeless encampment that occupied a…

Of course not. But gay marriage activists did a better job of getting their messaging across. Progressives can defend a lot of the same policies without using words they know trigger people’s paranoia, like ‘socialism’ does in the US. It’s basic PR, something progressives can’t seem to wrap their heads around, to…

Because I support defunding the police, not fully abolishing the police, but many people when they hear “defund” they think “abolish”. What do you think the GOP means when they talk about defunding planned parenthood or ACA or whatever? 

Oh for fuck’s sake, stop it. Every. single. story includes this progressive passive-aggressive nonsense in the comments. No one is saying you shouldn’t advocate for the policies you want to advocate for. We’re just saying be smart about it, so you don’t alienate voters you need to win over in order to be in a position…

So who is Obama’s lecture for?

He’s not wrong, though. “Defund the Police,” snappy as it might be, is a vast oversimplification of what that plan often entails (depending on who you ask)—redistributing funds to services that the police shouldn’t be involved with to begin with, like welfare checks and mental illness interventions.  Yes, explaining…
