Most of the people railing at the DNC are doing so because an independent senator filled their heads full of nonsense.

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

All I know is if Democrats ever regain control of the government, everyone involved with the Trump Administration, ICE, etc need to be rounded up and jailed. None of this "we've got to come together" BS! "Coming together" is what's gotten us into this mess, all the way back to the Civil War!!

the cops are not in fact 'out of control.' this is US policing.

It's really simple. Even by the metric of how effective they are at implementing their own policies, they're just not that good at it. If an election were held simply on who is better at public administration, the GOP would lose in a landslide every time. That's why they resort to culture wars.

The next weeks are gonna feature a maddening mix of images of cops attacking nonviolent protestors and shameless gaslighters lamenting the protesters’ violence. It’s going to be much worse than it was with BLM.

The weird, often whitewashed way the civil rights movement is taught (or not taught) seemed to convince a lot of people that nonviolence was met with nonviolence, instead of you know, dogs, hoses, beatings, death, etc

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Far more people read what I write here than do if I post the same thing on the failed mall that is twitter. My follower count steadily increases here. It steadily decreases there. Also Nazi voices aren’t amplified. This site, simply put, works.

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

I hear the ICE pigs had their tires slashed in Pasadena, then the tow truck service showed up to repair ICE's tires but the crowd convinced the tow truck driver to turn around, so ICE was out there trying to inflate their tires and duct tape them to escape after the hotel asked them to leave.

The basic fallacy in chasing votes by being "tough on immigration" is that the modal American's position on the issue is "Deport the Bad ones and keep the Good ones," and they alone know who is which, and that simply does not translate into workable policy. So this kind of gestapo stuff (1/2)
