Take it over how? With what? Will they kill Pezeshkian? Ghalibaf? Larijani?

This is no regime change promise, its abdication of responsibility to a people who were just mass butchered. "You go and do it. If you fail, well tough luck"

spare a thought for the reverend al sharpton, who is now the only person left to field apologetic phone calls from public figures who went on racist tirades

In general a lot of moderate liberals find it very annoying that leftists, radical liberals, and libertarians all end up at open borders, missing the "obvious" middle ground position, but the thing is that if you examine the issue at all, borders are pretty damn hard to actually justify

btw I will freely admit to having made spurious arguments based on this graph in 2022! it’s an understandable mistake, but the key problem is that the majority controls what gets a vote, so in an ~evenly divided chamber nothing makes it to the floor without ~unanimity on their side

"weird how so many republicans from competitive seats feel compelled to vote against the party line, but democrats don't. makes you wonder if they are taking bad advice that has little to do with electoral performance, and dem pols know this"

the thing you have to understand about susan collins is that the day her mother died she was on the floor of the senate voting on the nomination of an assistant secretary of defense to keep her 30-year perfect attendance record intact

sincere question: were there any trans people featured at the 2020 or 2016 dncs? bc if not that’s not a rightward pivot it’s a reflection of there being like 3 trans politicians of note in the country

the normie moms have accomplished more in six months than black bloc anarchists have in their entire existence

nonviolence works, it is objectively more effective than ninja cosplay and valorous dumpster fires, and people who reject it are not worthwhile allies

to be kind of blunt, if the hardcore veteran activist organizer expertise that you bring results in "light a dumpster on fire, get mad that this is filmed" it's not really expertise anyone should respect, sorry. don't care how many little activism merit badges you have.

This shit is so gross. Saying trauma and harm and accountability and solidarity to disguise the fact that you think warning people that ICE is here with a whistle is cringe lib shit

I am *in* this community and so long as my friends and family members in Seattle are at higher risk of being sent to an internment facility because of this nonsense I will not be respecting these requests

But a lot of people who have spent many years in other kinds of activism - activism that is generally far less effective than our networks have been - seem horrified that Minnesota moms and college students stumbled on a new model. They are rushing to assert themselves as the β€œtrue” organizers.

If you were designing an op to discredit protest you could not do better than this

Whenever you see a story about how liberals aren't making their conservative peers feel welcome enough, this is who they're talking about.
