Anyone thought of protesting with your investments? What if a big chunk of 70+ million “Harris voting” private investors pulled out of corporate stocks & put into cash, pretty much at the same time?..say around Jan. 21??

Show the Oligarchs, people still have power.
An Opinion is Pineapple Belongs on Pizza. What we CANNOT have is a Difference of FACTS! That 2+3 = Fish, because Trump or Fox News said so. We CANNOT say that LGBTQ+ or PoC deserve death, concentration camps, violence, etc!
That's a good paraphrase of this timeless James Baldwin quote: “We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist.”
It seems you (and subsequently I) may just be wrong. It can apparently work however and there are only rules for people who understand them. Everyone else just gets to make them up.
My only thought is if we have proof of corruption, perhaps something can finally be done to address it. Instead of unproven allegations, whispers, etc. actual facts to either prove or disprove.
Any Mass Roundup of any sort has never turned out well for the mass Roundup or the rounded up . Ultimately doing the opposite of what is intended which is usually some form of law and order or ethnic cleansing something egregious and war criminal it never turns out well!
No New American HOLOCAUST
Sincere question - where online are you finding real instantiations of that conversation? Is this the criticism of the dem self-criticism group? Because I don’t think anyone wants to open dialogue with the fascists, which would be pointless anyway.
THIS! Dehumanizing another human being is an old destructive tactic. Trump popularized it, removed the shame in doing it and turned it into entertainment for his supporters. It's become habitual with too many. Just look at Twitter/X. Some on the left side of the aisle are guilty of it too.
"fake news" "you only watch CNN" asking you to "prove it" when it's literally reality. Im done trying to prove it, I aggressively tell them to eat shit and prove it because I'm living in reality. NEVER CAN! They only gaslight and project. How do you talk if everything is fake?
Much like every single boy born onto the soil of the U.S. who, in the case of a draft, is LITERALLY the property of the government to be sent across whatever ocean to die in whatever conflict.
I mean, differences in epistemic method can have political consequences. So it is absolutely a difference of political opinions, but it is not *just* that.
Great point, and this I agree is the basis of meaningless chatter. As some believe their views are the only views that matter. It’s a right / Wrong dynamic. No progress is ever made when one says to the other. “ Your dead to me “ and are ok with that belief system.
I agree, I can't let myself just pretend these people are decent just to get along. I never want to be like them. I will fight with every fiber of my being for democracy and equal rights for all people.
It's not a difference of political opinions if the opposing side can't even discern facts from fiction and "fake news."
There can be no meaningful discussions if the underlying facts can not even be agreed upon.
If you think the rich are taxed too much, great we can agree to disagree ...But if you say things like "left are all groomers and pedophiles", I'm going to take that sh-t VERY personally and act accordingly.
true, but that's largely not an opinion many people hold. it's tough to find a middleground between not overly downplaying terrible rhetoric, reasonable concerns and bad actions but also not contributing to a hysterical, antagonizing, divisive political tone that further provokes others.
The book “Unhumans” illustrates just how evil the right wing has become. It totally distorts history and claims all liberals are communists and should be killed.
The book “Unhumans” clearly illustrates just how evil the right wing has become. It distorts history and calls for death to liberals, claiming they are all communists.
Just watched on TCM channel, "7 days in May". It's about a Military Coup attempt to overthrow the U.S. Gov. Perhaps, we are watching the wrong channel! We are doomed to repeat history again and again. This time, we get to stand back & watch!
Amen and Awomen. That's why I don't feel much need to discuss or share with "prolife" folks especially considering what's coming for women & girls esp w/ national bans on abortion healthcare. Haven't forgotten that 10 year old Ohioan rape survivor.
I'm tired of their patronizing and misogynistic monologues, hyper-aggressiveness for no good reason, celebrating trash culture, and general hostility when they go out in public to run errands. They are not likeable people with respect for others. They also think they're above the laws.
Genuine question: been playing on my mind - help me with this. 1 person believes Kamala had no real policies, was ineffectual in dealing with pressing problems and not helping people. The other thought Kamala was the worst of 2 evils because she ‘doesn’t genuinely care about people’.
Neither consciously would have voted for hate or against women. I know I cannot be friends with anyone who consciously chose inhumanity, I also really struggle to respect those who didn’t get informed well enough. But how should I view these 2 people? Neither are born and bred Americans.
One became a naturalised American and is married to one, the other doesn’t live there and has no say in elections but has this viewpoint. How does one reconcile what I know of their caring characters and their shocking political views?? I’m seriously asking.
I'm presuming those are people who came here in part because information is freely provided...yet they chose not to avail themselves of freely available information?
I'm sorry. There was an underlying reason they chose not to learn more about Harris you're ignoring here.
I’m struggling with that. I just don’t understand the basis of “Kamala is awful” and “I don’t feel she genuinely cares about people.” I saw packed rallies n family, long time friends, work acquaintances all state Kamala has genuine character and wants to do good. N how can anyone be worse than him?!
No , the repugnants and dumpster think the average person is not worth their while unless there is something in it for them ! They only care about how much chaos and cruelty they can inflict, and only white men should be in places of power !
I've seen videos about people who voted for Trump and most would've preferred an alternative to what they and their families have suffered under decades of neoliberalism.
I can agree with this to an extent, but we couldn’t just hand the country to Trump. Nothing matters if democracy folds. At the very least, Democrats weren’t threatening to dismantle our constitution.
When you look at the down-ballot races, Trump didn't necessarily deliver for his party and in some states that went for him, some progressive ballot measures also passed.
The "Democratic" party has abandoned the working class; wage stagnation, free trade, not fighting for better wages, unions, and working conditions, not fighting exploitative financial institution practices, etc.
"Or anyone's"
What about the baby's?
Asking for a friend. She tried getting born but was sucked out at Planned Parenthood right before she crossed the holy cervix line. Bummer for her, huh?
You’re really only pro-birth. You don’t care about the baby itself. I mean, y’all need those babies to grow up so you’ll have an endless supply of humans to discriminate against.
I mean, your opinion is literally not needed. And who “gets born”.
Graduate from an accredited elementary school and then you can try to have conversations with us grown folk. Otherwise go back to the swamp you came from.
Unfortunately, it is precisely how things work. Society is being manipulated to believe that opinions and facts are the same. I've fought this my entire adult life. I resent the backslide and arrogant selfish stupidity of it all. So sick of having to pay for others' hatred of their own feelings.
It's not even a difference of political opinion if they do think you are human and deserve to exist. The fact they think ANYONE, even one person, shouldn't exist for any economic, religious, or bat shit crazy idea they have, is reason enough to never speak to them again.
Exactly. A difference in opinion would be if you felt we should spend tax dollars one way and I believe another way. Thinking that I'm subhuman or that a woman's body belong ls to the government is not ok and definitely not a "difference in opinion."
THIS. It's just proof that they have no position that they can actually rationally defend, and they're too stupid or too dishonest to realize they're the pigeon crapping on the chess board.

The party has forgotten that is has to EARN votes by actually fighting for progressive policies, not merely fundraising off of them.
There is to motive to solve problems they profit from featmongering about.
The "Democratic" party has abandoned its base.
Bernie was right.

It was more that Democrats underestimated the cultural conservatism of Latino and Asian voters, especially those living in ethnic enclaves.
Some of those racist will never change.

You’re not going tell me what rules I have for my own damn body, or anyone’s and then try and act we can still be civil..
I’m not friends with fascists.

That kind of sketch. I feel you should be on a list.
Also seriously look into quality elementary schools. Maybe an online school?

It's like they're so used to democracy that they took it for granted.
As if they just can't see the horrors people are worried about actually coming to pass.
Maybe losing those personal connections will make it real.

Can’t have peace if one side wants the other side wiped off the face of the earth.
And yet I don't and haven't ever had a single blip of interest in what the Nazi's ate during WWII.
