Some of us do, absolutely.

White male, Liberal Dem (and musician) who loves tolerance, inclusion, progress, Feminism and metaphorically punching Nazis, Racists, Misogynists, Anti-Semites and TERFs. Also love tennis, animals, hiking, music, horror movies, Asian cuisine, art etc
Some of us do, absolutely.
Same year. I donβt know why when I quickly read your βCocoβ I assumed you meant Vandewegh.
We saw her on Stadium 9 a couple years ago when she went deep, beating Zheng Qinwen before losing to Coco. I loved her game and thought with a better serve she could be top 20.
Progressives only lose because of evil conspiracies by Dem (((elites)))
It really clarified who canβt be trusted.
Moderate Republicans actually show some interest in joining, working with Dems. Leftists do the opposite.
Republicans lie/distort Dem messaging.
Progressives lie/distort Dem messaging.
Journalists signal boost both and the cycle of voters hating and believing lies about Dems goes another round.
Can we add: People who DID vote the right way but only after four years and the run up to the election, urging everyone they could reach, not to?
Biden built a damn pier to try and deliver aid to Gaza, insisted that a state for Palestinians was a must for any peace agreement and used pressure to keep Israelβs worst, hard-right impulses at bay. But the assholes pissed all of that away and here we are.
Itβs not some weird coincidence that apathetic non-voters cite the exact same BothSides bullshit that these assholes spread constantly before every major election. Musk and Russia signal-boost them for a reasonβ¦
Right. The fact that Uncommitted assholes or Bernie-Bros eventually voted the right way doesnβt exonerate them from the damage of all the people they convinced to sit out the election.
Or Harriet Tubmanβs closing monologue from Underground: youtu.be/7frKB1xCvRE?...
I feel like calling them βconservativesβ isnβt even fair. The only operating principle for these assholes is: let everything/everyone burn if I donβt get the impossible unicorn I wished for.
Sure they do!
1.) Be condescending
2.) Call them Racist/Fascist
3.) Accuse them of supporting genocide
He passed Infrastructure, biggest green investment, ended Afghan war, forgave Student Loans, put KBJ on SCOTUS, let DOJ indict Trump, pardoned Peltier/Assangeβ¦all things people swore they would rewardβ¦
This isnβt Colin Powell using sketchy assumptions. The UN (the org we are all supposed to listen to when it accuses Israel of genocide) says Iran is illegally enriching uranium to weapons-grade levels while Iran promises to use for genocide of 10M Israelis. Iran is already at war via Hamas/Hezβ¦
Benghazi!!1!
Right? Seems like this article skipped over the fact that it was mostly White (and other non-Black) working class voters that abandoned Biden.
They also fetishize Black People (and other marginalized groups) but refuse to listen to the majority of them. Especially when those groups ask them to do something boring like support Kamala, Biden, Obama, Hillary.
Like MAGA, Leftists believe they are entitled to be assholes to everyone and disrupt all solidarity in our tent. And we are supposed to thank them for it.
The complete radio silence from CUAD, CAIR, SJP, Uncommitted, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Cory Bush, Linda Sarsour, Angela Davis, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Cornel West, Jill Stein, Glenn Greenwald, Noam Chomsky and all those encampment students is pretty deafeningβ¦
And the FreePalestine movement has suddenly left the chatβ¦
And you see the exact same bullshit with the panic over (mythical) Transgender Athletes supposedly stealing βtheir spotβ, trophy/scholarship from all of our cisgender daughters.
And intentional stoking of panic.
Pretty sure Abolitionists, Civil Rights activists, labor organizers etc. had to deliver this exact same message.
As with most Progressive stances, it is mostly a matter of: can I use this to shit on the Dem Party?
I was just thinking how to explain the thrilling gamble of buying a CD Single (with a song you already had on the album) only for two unreleased songs youβd never heard of before. Would they be instant classics or did I just spend $11 on a new coaster. Pretty sure this was a unique thing for Gen X
One of my saddest I-feel-old moments was when a middle school student broke my heart by admitting he had no idea who Soundgarden was, he just bought the shirt because it had Godzilla on it.
I was gonna say like mistaking Zeppelin with the Beatles.
