The last phrase isn’t to be taken literally but my point is that if you want to try to talk about the people I look up to intellectually then you really shouldn’t be talking because your’s are overall terrible human beings and even when our people fuck up, we either denounce them or condemn their actions quite, quite openly. In fact, some are too quick to.
Cenk Uygur was booted from the Justice Democrats for comments made in the past when he was a… GASP..! A conservative! How coincidental that when someone believes in this selfish ideology they’re literal piles of festering human filth.
I disagree with his expulsion because he’s proven with more than just words that he’s changed to be a better person, but at least it shows that we’re
principled unlike you guys.

Also, how is him saying ‘this should be over soon’ undermining people?
I’m not referring to that type of quote and you know it, I’m referring to when he continuously attacks medical professionals and supports people who are protesting against masks.
Smart people can still be wrong about things. They have biases and can let them affect how they see things. As such, when it comes to subjective things, I tend to take people’s words with a grain of salt.
Right, because if there’s anything subjective its the way to handle a pandemic… HMMMM, what do we choose, some orange chode and his wacky ideas or decades of established and still currently relevant ways to handle a pandemic?
Hmmm, what to choose… what to choose… so subjective.
Yhem having expertise in X field doesn’t make them objectively right about everything.
Yes, yes, yes but see, I think I’m gonna trust the doctor and the scientist over some orange chode-looking scammer with daddy issues and terrible hair when it comes to how to handle a pandemic!
Really, you know that this statement you just said was exceedingly wrong. Would you like to walk this back?
I’m pretty sure there hasn’t been in a lynching… about 30 years from what I read on Wikipedia. Yeah, I know its not the best source but everything else I search just mentions a couple of possible suicides.
Just because something isn’t considered a lynching, doesn’t mean that it isn’t one. George Floyd’s murder was a lynching, a “legal” one given with authority and still defended by attacking his character for his past mistakes as if somehow that didn’t make his death any less of a tragedy.
Committing mass shootings, I condemn but there’s not much I can do about that after the fact other than try and find the motive and resolve it so someone else doesn’t go down the same path. The last attack on a clinic was in 2015 and most of the attacks look to be vandalism.
2015 feels like yesterday, it wasn’t 1995 or even 2005… it was just about 5 years ago. Right Wing terrorist attacks are too common and in the 21st century, most terrorist attacks are of Right Wing ideological origin.
As for upholding a racist past, what do you mean? Do you that they aren’t trying to destroy that history? They aren’t trying to sanitize the past? Cause I’m all for preserving the past, regardless of how messy it is.
Then it belongs in a museum where everyone can know who these people are, not to be worshiped and celebrated in the town square or as names of military bases.
I… don’t know what to say to that. The fact you seem to think that about your opposition is a bit sad. You think so lowly of them. Why?
Because they think so lowly of us, were it up to them my parent’s country would still be a colony, my siblings across the sea still enslaved, women like yourself not having control over your body’s reproductive system and Jewish people being vanquished.
Consistently, they push forth legislation that’s only purpose is to make the “Other” suffer and consistently, they’re the ones who have tried to make it harder for people like you and me to vote so the only way to is to fight back and its working.
Our policies are actually overwhelmingly supported throughout the whole country, everyone wants healthcare to take care of themselves and everyone wants college to uplift themselves and everyone wants America to get that orange chode out of office.
Are you calling me a racist? Do you think me condemning the destruction of monuments is me supporting their views? I don’t. Honestly, I don’t really care what views they held. I just don’t want historic statues to be destroyed just because the people of the present don’t like them. They are a part of our history and should be protected so the future generations won’t forget how far we came as a society.
Thats the thing, you should care because they enslaved fellow human beings. If you don’t care, then I just don’t really consider you human and I stop caring about you myself. If you really want people to not forget history so bad then place them in museums and books – not town squares or in any position of esteem.
There was Tulsa Gabbard but she was tossed aside for the two old guys. Also, please stop trying to use other people to describe me. I’m an individual and would appreciate if you would stop telling me what other people do yet act like that’s me.
Tulsi Gabbard was a good candidate at first… was… a good candidate until she decided to stop support for medicare for all and decided to vote “present” in response to trying to impeach the president. I grow tired of cowards and useless symbolic opposition rather than clear opposition.
Also, note that some of the states being torn down are founding fathers, you know the people who created the country. But hey, who cares about that, right? They just be slaveowners or whatever. They never did anything else that should be commemorated, right?
The founding fathers were hypocrites. If the founder of my organization turned out to be a child molester and murdered children after they were done then if they were to be alive I’d for one report them to the police and immediately leave the organization.
If they weren’t, I’d join the rest of them to tear down pictures of them and then rebrand the organization.
