    The crowing from centrists that leftists lose elections that centrists have complete control over is circular reasoning.

    It’s fair to think that centrists might have more support. But if someone believes DNC gives a fair shake to progressives, they’re dangerously naive.



  • Yes, absolutely.

    My fear is whether Americans will choose socialism right now. I’m in a very queer, anarchist bubble and I’m not sure how to tell how popular this sort of thought is.

    My concern is how thoroughly Americans have rooted socialists out of power and how all of our media will insist that we need more fascism, not less.








  • You’re so quick to call marginalized people “divisive” for having standards. Why is it freedom of speech for rich white guys to get Nazi memorabilia on their chest, but when PoC push back then the conversation is suddenly about ”civility"?

    No, I don’t think Platner is a Nazi. I think he’s fine with having Nazi imagery on his chest for 20 years. It’s a boldfaced, unbelievable lie that a military history buff didn’t know what a Totenkopf was.

    Yes, it does demonstrate poor character to be fine with Nazi iconography. Your reticence to admit such was an attempt to be moral, but if you’d rather abandon any principles you might have had for this guy, you are correct that we don’t have anything to talk about.
