  • Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

    If you agree the Democrats are aiming for “adherence to the status quo and maybe moderate change for the slightly better, if it’s not too bothersome” and you still don’t understand why that isn’t good enough for people being disappeared by agents of the state, I just don’t know what to tell you.

    If a handful of online “lefties” can undo Democrats’ billion dollars of advertising, then that sounds like you’re agreeing that Dems are mind-blowingly incompetent at messaging.

    If Dems can’t win until everyone matches in lockstep with no disagreement then either Dems need to fall in line with their base, or get ready for a third Trump term.

    P.S. Democrats are a centrist party (at best). It shouldn’t be surprising that Leftists don’t consider them left enough. Why does the existence of Leftists anger moderates so much?





  • I think it’s worth pointing out because so many people are selfish, bigoted assholes.

    I’m Black and Queer. The fact is that the majority of ⚪ people don’t give the slightest fuck whether I live or die. (And don’t #NotAllWhites at me. I didn’t say “all”.) That’s why writers always kill the Black person first in movies. That’s why people watch so much torture porn of cops beating and killing us.

    You are absolutely 100% correct. Trans people should be worth protecting for our own sake. I don’t know how to convince people that we’re humans too, but if people stopped killing us only because it hurts their wives and sisters too, I’ll take it.










  • I love how the Atlantic called around to the various government offices who should care about this stuff: “Hey, are you sure there’s nothing classified in here? If this is too sensitive to print, just tell us and we won’t print it.” This has been a study in covering your ass and making sure the reporter doesn’t become the story, as much as the administration would love for it to.

    It really does show how stupid this country is about waving “National Security” for any matter that would make the administration look bad.
