I know they're all gaslighting liars, but it's remarkable how thoroughly the "cancel culture" myth redefined "censorship" to mean "someone using their free speech to criticize me." Meanwhile, actual censorship is just fine for all these people.

The single most impactful social/cultural development over the last decade (that virtually no retrospectives of "woke" have engaged in) is the new elite consensus that moral judgement is itself inherently illegitimate.

My primary rule about voting is don’t be weird about your vote, just vote. This violates that. The college kids shouldn’t change their registration strategically to maximize vote impact but however it is easiest to cast their vote, they should just do that.

I personally don’t believe America is too misogynistic to elect a woman. We can also get over our racism well enough at times. Electing someone unmarried in addition to those other hurdles may prove too much though.

you invoke your fifth amendment rights when you’re talking to a cop because he’s only there to find a reason to charge you with a crime, and you should absolutely do the same when you’re talking to a senator who’s made it very clear he’s only there to find a reason to charge you with a crime

All you need is for strict-daddy patriarchy to be ambient in the culture & then "you silly unrealistic kids can't have nice things" *sounds* right to people who don't know any better. That's what Republicans always say, so they sound like the strict daddy, so they're "better on the economy."

Incrementalism is billed as carving out and taking the tiny wins because that is all that is available but it feels suspiciously similar to what getting the barest minimum just so the conservatives don’t get too grumpy would feel like.

Is it possible that the Trump Department of Education created a national civics contest, then rigged the judging in the final when it looked like a Sikh kid who's the son of immigrants might win? They'd never do that, this administration has too much integrity. www.notus.org/national/ame...

I hate when people peddle disinformation that makes me defend shitty people. I don’t like them either but they didn’t say that and suggesting they did only hurts our cause!

“You have enemies on the left AND the right.That must mean you are doing something right.” It does not. You might just be universally detestable. You might have nothing to say anyone finds worthwhile. Rejecting all to your right and left does not place you in some sensible middle.

Accusations of bias actually have specific content that can be assessed. The left attack the BBC for justifying a genocide, the right attack it for having too many black people on screen. These aren't equivalent extremes that cancel each other out leaving only the enlightened centre.

Citizens united doesn’t need to be reversed. The core issue is wealth inequality, solve that and I don’t care what you spend your money on. National service is a dumb idea. Just make some good jobs available. Ending gerrymandering is a good one but bundle it with more election protections.

I tend to think people tapping the breaks on certain candidates’ presidential ambitions, saying they’re better suited for another seat for such and such reasons are just hiding their true motives and opposition. agitate-discourse.org?arg=1968

Unless you are actually running an electoral campaign, why are you (a REGULAR person) gaming out the views of people across the country who you do not know and will never meet? One of the worst things to have happened in the last 25 years is weird election punditry by regular people.
