Uhh, what on earth are you shouting about? We were talking about flaws in a particular candidate 9 years ago, not policy or campaign strategy for the next 2?
Need me to send you 5 bucks so you can buy a grip?

On top of that, she and her husband were utterly hated by the right and they were HIGHLY motivated to vote. And many Democrats just didn’t like her that much. Unfairly, in my view, because she had proved herself as legislator & at State. But I still would have preferred Biden in 2016.

Trump’s message isn’t even that clean. It’s a jumbled mess: Everything is A+++ but if it’s not A++++.
We keep joking that the idiot around him is his dirty diaper. It’s really the stench of defensiveness and fear.

You haven’t said a factual thing all day. Just bigoted, ahistorical nonsense.
Go away now.

A lynching AND a mass murder. Of one person.
And writing that is even more florid and befuddling than Nuzzi’s. A “dazed compunction”?? What on earth is that?

I’m trying to imagine what she’d say if you called them gingerbread men and added their penises.

The black church was at the heart of the civil rights movement and resistance. Christianity was always a varied movement. Painting it as a monolith is willfully stupid and disgustingly bigoted.

And in leading the civil rights movement, numerous anti war movements and anti poverty and anti hunger movements. But please, keep displaying your bigotry and ignorance in all its gloriously hateful plumage.
You can fuck off now.

What an utterly stupid, ignorant and glib thing to say. It’s the martyrdom & sacrifice of a teacher of love and peace—an ardent opponent to the supreme power of the age— that is symbolized.

A lot of good, sincere and compassionate Christians disagree with you. Not sure what you think you accomplish by disparaging the beliefs of a worldwide religion that has such disparate churches, beliefs and practices. Some Christians are terrible hypocrites. Many are not.

That doesn’t mean you quit calling it out or being crushed by it. Being numb is the same as compliance.

Absolutely. But you can go even further back, all the way to the original America First movement that embraced fascism and thwarted our entry into the war right up to Pearl Harbor—all in opposition to both interventionism and the New Deal.

C, indeed. Plus they hope that legalizing the wrecking ball approach to crippling government will make it impossible to rebuild even if Dems actually try to rebuild it. If they make headway you just wreck it again.
