Theres a lot of blame to go around, but I think too much is placed on the media. Trump supporters ive talked to know he lies, they just dont think it matters. Its just colorful silliness while he does what they like, which is apparently dismantling democracy sufficiently to keep white men in power

Maybe? But no matter how strong the infrastructure, we lack a clear stated vision we are proud to proclaim loudly and accurately. We need a platform that people can rally for. Where is our Project 20xx, but actually benefitting all americans? We cant afford to wait for a specific campaign.

Maybe we shouldnt use anecdotal proof to fight anecdotal proof.

We also vote against interest. Isnt that the point of being liberal? We need to really grasp whats going on to overcome it, and a massive piece of the puzzle imho is feeling superior. Their team is winning. Winning is the point. Maybe.

You really underestimate the value of pwning the libs.

Not sure I helped by saying “the right”. How do you avoid playing into it?

No person acting alone fully represents any group identity of any sort. All of the labelling, all of it, helps the right divide.

There are 0 of them alive now. They ate different parties with the same names. Its sad how many dont know this.

A recession is not “looming”. Its already here. A depression is looming.

As long as the court and congress continue to bend over because of “the will of the people”, are they wrong?
January 28, 2025 at 12:33 PM
Yet

Its missing “as always”

Out of the frying pan…

We need something better than election denial. Thats a + in the maga books. We’re just going to spend the whole time showing them how awesome she is for them?
January 13, 2025 at 11:59 AM
Yeah, but they dragged us with them.
January 11, 2025 at 9:38 PM
I definitely never suggested that.

Im merely suggesting that resisting absolutely everything may not be in our best interest.

If we are seen as nothing but obstructionist, does that play well in 28?
January 2, 2025 at 8:16 PM
Where’s the line tho? Dont help raise the debt ceiling? Dont help fund the gov’t? Dont vote for sanctions where appropriate?
100% obstruction?
Im not sure if we do that, that we are any better.

Pls explain.
January 1, 2025 at 3:57 PM
Is it really wrong to put effort into finding small bits of common ground to make progress with?

I dont think its a clear ethical/moral fact that resisting literally everything is a requirement.

Agreed, we cant afford quid pro quo. We probably shouldnt trade some bad for some good.

But every game is intended to have holding ref’d fairly. This affects only games in soldier field, and the bears get exposed to that for half their games, all others just 1 or 0.
It creates at least the perception of unfairness, and that wont fly in the nfl.
November 25, 2024 at 12:00 PM
The problem is the uneven application. It affects the bears more. It makes them treated differently than all other teams. If this were justice, or life and death, then yeah, use it. But its sports.
