Hey I am not the one wanting to make an important point by essentially bringing the chicken scrawl on a napkin to the party. Replace Biden, sure.

Yes this is all true and reasonable, but also on the other hand just about everyone in your industry is being a hysterical moron, so to the extent that "journalism" is trying to say something the public the democratic party may be reasonably checked out because you fellow travelers are so aweful

a thing to remember, in all of this horror, is that these are not the actions of a political party that is confident it represents the will of the people, and who is currently out of power and enslaved to a deeply flawed avatar. the struggle is not over and they have not won

Buddy I like liberals frequently (if not oftent). I am not calling CNN liberal idiots, I am calling liberals idiots for trusting CNN as anything but a mouth piece for oligarchs. I am critiquing my allies even if I am farther left. Please read the room.

In your original thread, I'm sorry, but it was not very clear to at least me the boundaries of your statement and seemed to at least imply inclusion of politicking. I'm fine dropping this, especially if we don't disagree on anything substantive here.

I wish this were the case, but this is in part what I find dangerous about scoping this outside communities/relationships. When it comes to institutions/power to get the policies/court decisions, we have not had that luxury. On avg we have more of an opportunity now then ever before to demand that.

Sorry I don't follow your last sentance, unless you mean we shouldn't publicly express sympathy or consideration for those who call us enemies, which I agree with.

I am not really sure what you mean by "consideration" in which context because almost literally any policy/court effort I have seen has involved some level of consideration to mild supporters and weak opponents. I agree that sympathy isn't relevant to the personal or political per se.

Is that a generational thing maybe? The think twink was in ascendancy 20-30 years ago. If so, maybe we will see a cultural swing back.

I think i agree with this in so far as one might call us "enemies." However, there is a fair bit of spectrum between friends and enemies and some folks at "find them distastful" and "I find what they are doing disgusting, but isn't my business" have worked with us even just on a court decision

I think you are right with regards to anyone who "absolutely hates" us, but our history on the politics side is one of largely reluctant allies. I'm just saying that in the political realm, things have been a lot messier and less clear than you seem to be making it to be.

I think this is certainly a reasonable reaction to the state of things, but I am also sympathetic to the artists trying to make a living highlighting what cells. I cringe every time an artist produces against the template, but clearly gets them less engagement.

I feel like you aren't wrong about this per se. However, I think this conversation is conflating community building and politicking, which could use some unpacking.

I learned that moderate dems will side with Republicans and evangelicals (the major aipac funders) over the left every single time. They would love trumps brand of fascism if delivered politely.
