All Republicans do this. Fascism, communism, socialism, and liberalism are indistinguishable for them

I’m all for socialist policies, but the Biden-Harris administration didn’t kill the expanded child tax credit. Republicans did.

Clinton is not wrong. Only those of us that actually care about politics as a means to do something about social problems care about policy. The overwhelming majority of us those care about politics as a spectacle, a variation of edu-tainment with the social dynamics of team sports. And in that framework, message that distract from the team as us or the opposition as them are of no value.

It’s just a fact of life, ya know.

Oh c’mon! I thought I still had at least a decade

The Federalist is a bottom of the barrel website. They lie and distort everything they talk about.

I think this misunderstands free speech in principle rather than as interpreted by law or colloquially.

Classical liberal philosophers, like Locke, Mill, and Dewey, understood that deliberation required broad perspectives to handle sufficiently. Understanding and solving problems required a debate about their nature and their solutions for society to choose well. Free speech was instrumental in solving problems in principle.

But a modern understanding of it is basically license. It’s like calling freedom both the opportunity to live your life on your terms and shoot black people on your doorstep because you’re afraid of them. And then someone comes along and asks, “Do you think people should the freedom to defend themselves from intruders?”

Free speech, similarly, nowadays is just conflated with pure lies and obfuscation. It’s about creating unreal problems and redirecting social energy into some ineffective bullshit.

Thus, it’s not a contradiction to say that Americans support free speech and that some people need to have their platform taken away. Productive free speech would be improved by a reduction in unproductive and destructive speech done freely.

He said he didn’t think Trump’s intentions leading up to and on Jan. 6 were criminal.

“I just think he was misguided," Wagner said.

They always give this guy the benefit of the doubt while never giving a democrat the benefit of the doubt.

Better fuckin defend her. I’ll still vote for Harris, but Lina Khan is the best thing to ever happen to modern governance.

You don’t know my values. Good luck with yours though

Then don’t vote and leave it to the rest of us to maintain your ability to post stupid shit online, legitimate though it may be.

Tim Scott is their DEI bitch, but no one said anything about that.

They’re going to recycle the same bullshit talking points anyway. They don’t need research

It’s hilarious until he wins. Now he can play the sympathy card, his supremely stupid peons will feel even more justified in their stupid ideas, and people who were on the fence, as the pure, unadulterated, grade A morons they are, will think that if a candidate is getting shot at, then he’s obviously doing something right. And of course, they should have compassion for him since he got shot because they otherwise don’t know how diabolical Trump is.

This is a huge loss for the world all because one person had to be exceptionally stupid in their hubris.

Of all the criticisms I’ve heard or read against voting for Biden, this is probably the best.

I really liked Sotomayor’s dissent that basically said, “The Founders explicitly did not provide immunity for the president when given several chance to do so. This is not what they intended. The majority, supposed Originalists, are blatantly making shit up.”

Still the both sides thing?

Biden is demonstrably better on policy. For example, he has them.

Trump doesn’t have any at all.

No one wants to hear about issues. They want to hear promises on issues, but they don’t care to actually know, let alone understand, the policy.

Probably the same people Barry Goldwater warned us of:

Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they’re sure trying to do so, it’s going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can’t and won’t compromise. I know, I’ve tried to deal with them
