Our side has done the same thing. Moderates like myself are no longer wanted because we don’t believe in dumb things like microaggressions, using privilege across the board, etc. The Democrats are just as bad if not worse about ideological purity right now.

Non-violent protest almost always have a positive effect. Violent protests always sets things back. What women did in DC is the right model, not the idiots who’ve taken to throwing rocks and setting fires.

It’s not a strong start. It’s a witch hunt. Uber did absolutely nothing wrong. Their idea was to reduce surge pricing a half hour after the strike ended so that their drivers could pick up as many riders as possible. They did exactly that. The strike was over, and Uber has zero responsibility to stand around and let…

I think it’s more selfish than that. Because let’s be honest- most of the time people are more selfish than they’re letting on.

YES!

Careful...these pro-lifers are like termites. Suddenly they’re everywhere passing Unconstitutional laws.

A significant part of this is that both sides keep limiting themselves instead of opening their tents. Look at something like feminism. They keep growing more insular and losing ranks, and they react to it by circling the wagons and doing it more. Actually, more obvious is how the tea party types joined with the…

The truth is, if this had happened to a Democrat in Oklahoma for protesting Obama, we’d have all been on board with it. There is nothing to this story except the usual politics. The minute you fall out of favor for any reason, you’re no longer minority leader.

Yeah, the point of the whole thing is “can they pull this off”, and the crashes are a part of it like car racing.

I hate Trump and everything, but you’re putting what you considered to be dog whistle flirting above the fact that his daughter is Jewish, his son in law is Jewish, he’s worked with quite a few Jewish people, it’s the one thing that hasn’t ever come out another time, and he’s completely anti-Muslim while defending…

I don’t mind shading it. She obviously has huge control issues, and she’s left behind quite a few people once she was done with them.

To be fair, they actually aren’t going to be countering White terrorism.

Who is in the lead role as the spunky white lady that learns Black people are human too?

I think this is just a start. It sure sounds like the Dems’ balls have finally dropped anyway. The silver lining is what this means for our liberals, democratic moderates, and hey, even the GOP moderates that are still around, the poor suckers. Trump is flailing and will soon be failing. He’s as incompetent as we…

I may be getting too simplistic, but fear is the biggest issue. The Black community is petrified of what cops might do to their sons. You can see the difference on black and white people’s faces, and it adds tension to every encounter they have with cops.

I really like that idea about the calls made.

Lots of good points in there!

That’s true. Of course, the GOP escalated their obstruction because the Dems had during Clinton. And the Dems escalated that obstruction because of the GOP obstruction of Clinton.

The Dems have a lot more spine than we give them credit for having. The only reason the nuclear option is on the table is because we used it in 2013.
