They should become to fuck-off, more or less, and blocked out if responsible society.

Given such malfeasance, their sociopathic world view, their selfishness and dishonesty, there is nothing productive to be gained from dealing with them.

Facts don’t care about your feelings, but if their unfounded beliefs demand consideration.

If they’re wrong, then nobody cares. If they’re wrong, but the audience discus know, then it’s the most important thing ever.

It’s all a joke, unless you’re really going to do it.

They use discourse to stop communication.

They use free speech to silence others.

Fascist, use tolerance to gain access and spread intolerance.

Oh yes, one thing failed, so obviously you can just ignore the other stuff. Sure that makes sense.

Really? I voted for Harris and aid to Gaza. You helped elect Trump who is pulling the aid. Who’s responsible for what now?

We know you have seven quadrillion dollars. It’s a real number.

Even when the media gets it right it gets it wrong. It’s not just his age and inexperience. The article points to level of dishonesty that’s even more concerning.

Ok. Where? Point to where I’ve said we should collaborate with Nazis.

The history of post 1950’s America is full of examples of leftists abandoning willing partners in liberals and empowering men like Richard Nixon, George W Bush, and Donald Trump, twice.

And let’s not buy the whole “there’s no difference line.” There’s a huge difference. If Hillary had won in 2016 abortion access would still be a protect right. That’s just one example.

Even worse, by withholding support for groups they partially agree with, even if it’s only on select issues, they reduce the ability of others to resist the actions of those they really disagree with. They make it more likely that the world moves away from their stated goals instead of towards.

Or, if you can’t grab all the power for yourself, not compromising is a recipe to become irrelevant, to be able to do nothing of what you claim you want to do.
Why work with people who don’t acknowledge your right to honestly disagree?
comment in response to
post
I guess Leftist could just order the rest of us to do what They “know” is right, but that’s despotism, even if it’s an “enlightened despotism,” and despotism always seems to end in killing fields or inquisitions.

As long as it’s honest and sincere disagreement.
Besides, once a plan is put into action many of those disagreements become moot when results start coming in, arguments of theory become issues of fact.
comment in response to
post
But compromise is cooperation, and there is no action without cooperation. You can’t build wide spread support for anything without acknowledging the right of others to disagree, AND finding a way to embody some of that disagreement in an eventual action plan.

And it doesn’t mean you forfeit the right to return to an issue once the current problem/emergency is solved to some degree of satisfaction.

So insightful. I like how you skipped any nuance or thought and just jumped right in with insults. Really contributing to the dialog. And of course, anyone who doesn’t 100% agree with you is obviously a Nazi. The great Satan even. You’re very wise. .

Biden didn’t “send bombs to Israel to kill Palestinians.” For decades the U.S. has supported an ally in that region. The ally decided what it did with the bombs after it was attacked. The U.S. used diplomacy to end the conflict. Not as fast as you wanted, but it did. That’s the true story.

The people of Gaza thank you.

Just stop it. That simplistic attitude made everything worse for Palestine, just as we all knew it would. There would be a sustained U.S. effort behind the cease fire today if Harris was in office. Instead, the U.S. president is calling for ethnic cleansing. You lost because you played yourself.

Oh dear me. You out here just yelling “Nazi!” at everything and you don’t even know who the real Nazi’s are. You’re about as useful as a fork at a soup eating competition.
comment in response to
post
I mean, the liberals did negotiate a cease fire and get aid to Gaza. It wasn’t much, but it was certainly better than the current situation.
comment in response to
post
In a way yes. We also lost, but in a way no. Liberals actually win elections, and when you win elections you can do stuff. Not everything. With winning comes responsibility, and a confrontation with the limits of power, but liberals have made lives better when given power. You ain’t done nothing.

Yes, that was my point. As I said, obtuse.
comment in response to

You lost too. At every turn in my lifetime the leftists chose obtuse ideas and naive tactics that further empowered the right.

I think we all knew that. The information was out there. Many Americans chose to ignore it.

It’s a very powerful myth because no one can prove that such information doesn’t exist. You can’t prove something doesn’t exist. You can only prove that you haven’t found it yet and that the chance of finding it is exceedingly low. For those who want to believe, that’s all they need.

Lack of transparency is a feature. It allows the followers of these regimes to maintain a self delusion that der leader knows something they don’t. That despite all the evidence to the contrary, the leader has secret knowledge and expertise.
And there is a lot of evidence to the contrary.
comment in response to

It’s a great article for the drug stories, but the point about secrets that will lead to victory grabbed my attention. The excessively credulous MAGA followers of today aren’t much different than the over the fence Nazi’s of that era.

These people just lie about everything. There is no great threat, except for them, to our country and its cities. In fact, in the immediate years before, we were doing better than we did during most our history before Trump took over.

Why? The GOP wouldn’t even let that out of committee.

Inflation was well under control before last November’s election. Illegal boarder crossings were down. Dems had already fixed everything Trump explicitly ran on, except for the bigotry.
