Should my response to cons wanting me in a camp at best and at worst dead for being queer a SCATHING oped? Turning off the TV when Stephen Miller gets a slot on masked singer? You can only abide by the neo-Freikorps for so long.

Do you think setting off a cycle of retaliatory violence is going to go well for you?

Surely the GOP wont and haven't done their own retaliatory violence, right?

We're going to declare the GOP a terrorist organization, while defunding the executive agencies that investigate, arrest & prosecute terrorists. I'm more annoyed by the incoherence than the infantalism.

Putting words in my mouth, never said defund the executive agencies. But then again, missing the overall idea for nitpicking has always been a strong point for y'all beltway freaks. You think they wont put you in camps, too? Their paras in ICE and DHS already believe dems are fundamentally evil

Stevens post was dumb. He's not a guy who has his finger on the pulse of the base, but because he said something outrageous that Lowtax employed to attack Democratic leadership. The screenshot I posted is even more deranged & that's what you replied to. I don't support deranged rhetoric.

And, the whole country is going to be a camp if we don't come together as a party for at least a few election cycles.

It appears democratic leadership should take your advice. The base wants fighters, democratic leadership is underwater W/dems. The strategy is call everything a distraction and then want to fund the government that is doing these offenses because of the imaginary people schumer made up in his head

Perfect example, Seattle's centrist mayor got upset by a prog challenger with literally no institutional backing. Literally nothing and the only people who vote in these are the hyperpartisans.

Lol, Katie Wilson was endorsed by unions, local Dem orgs & a ton of elected Democrats.

Very small unions and a whooping 2 elected Dems, one of which hasn't been in office for 8 years.

I don't think you follow actual political news. What some people say here is not at all aligned with reality. People loudly demanding Schumer let the government shut down will be saying he was an idiot in 3 weeks, because it's going to *suck* & everything is Democrats' fault.

Schumer's job isn't to be a flaming poaster, it's to try to wrangle concessions out of John Thune.

Your response should be to be skeptical of a guy (Stevens) who worked for Gideon Saar, not compile a contradictory laundry list of unlikely to blatantly unconstitutional demands.

Stevens is, as far as I can tell, sincerely repentant. It doesn't mean he's turned into a different person, but I'll listen to him where I won't listen to most of the never trumpers

I also think that we don't have constitutional and legal frameworks to clean this mess up, which means we're out there inventing new frameworks. I hope we come up with decent ones.

I'm not doubting Stevens' repentance, but the people applauding his attack on Democratic leadership are largely ignorant of Stevens' association with Israeli politicians to the right of Netanyahu. bsky.app/profile/soma...

Ha yeah I do not care enough about these kinds of guys to know that fact about Stevens either. But wish I HAD known earlier when people were telling me he was such a Smart Guy.
