Is there a way for the jury to find him not guilty of these stupid charges, but go ahead and put Bolton in prison anyway, because he's such an asshole?
The reason centrist Democrats are so scared of Mamdani is because if he wins and is popular, they may have to move left to win and their stock portfolios and donors might not like that.
Just like people can get accustomed to walking in high heels, a raging narcissist can get used to standing in the heel lifts that they use to feel tall.
The extreme centrists can ally with them. I won't.
Thanks for your advice on how to left properly. I think I'll ignore it and keep voting left in Democratic primaries. We just need more Mamdanis and fewer Fettermans.
You're claiming that rejecting racists as allies means the left is obsessed with purity, whatever the hell that is supposed to mean.
My point is that if you expect the left to accept racism, you probably don't know diddley shit about the left.
The left is all about incremental progress. That's all we've been able to do for centuries. Again, y'all don't seem to know anything about being left in the USA.
Yes, we've all seen the Trolley Problem. It's bullshit.
Just like this entire question. People who hate DEI aren't trying to join the left. No one on the left has to reject racists because racists hate us too.
This whole thread is basically trying to split the left. But the funniest part is pretending the fascists and the racists aren't the same people.

I talked to the committee and it's been agreed that we're all going to use submarines at sea.
However, the skies are off limits for submarines.
Committee was divided on the question of land use.
Discussions followed.

Holy crap, Gov Polis looked weak before this. Now he's looking a little foolish too.
All he had to do was nothing.
I don't know who all needs to hear this but a tweet is not a law.
I'm not sold on his face, but I do like the way Pritzker swings a bat. He's a bit centrist, but at least he's a fighter.
His problem is he's a billionaire. But as a stop gap, I think he could work.

Sorry for my lack of reading comprehension. Entirely my fault. I was wrong.

The thing about this "populist" movement is, they are liars.
@mrgoosmoos @unexposedhazard
It was never about "defending against a tyrant."
They were always lying.

I once saw a movie where wizards were magic.
It was fiction.
So is the idea that taxes are illegal.

Yes, racism is the point.

Sorry, but I'm not interested in hypothetical game theory.
I'm not going to apologize for drawing a line in the sand that excludes racists. It's a line that must be drawn.
If the left doesn't oppose racism, it stands for nothing.

The biggest loss would be aligning with racists.
I'm wondering if some people actually understand what being on the progressive left even means.
Partnering with racists makes you a racist, win or lose.
@FaceDeer @just_another_person @simplejack
I'll take nothing over partnering with racists.
Winning with racists is losing.
@FaceDeer @just_another_person @simplejack
I'm not going to partner with racists. I am not sorry.
If you are willing to work with fascists and racists, you are not my ally.

"I'm a huge racist, but I don't like Trump. Can I join your group?"
No.
That person should go find a "Racists Against Trump" group.
