But if we Make REPUBLICANS feel bad they MIGHT Lie to Their Supporters and TRY to KILL us! Again! For the Sixth time! This Decade!

It's because they don't want to stop insider trading and taking these bribes they are even taking these political assassinations seriously

they don't want to, cause they are just controlled opposition

"Just one more peaceful protest bro. I swear bro"

Insert that one guy who insists on a 3.5% of the population peaceful protest

its actually a UNIPARTY, a coalition party of both sides. because majority of the time they do vote together on some issues but not others.

The capitalist party if you would

I don't know what "going low" means, but if we discard our morals and dehumanize our opponents to get into power, that's still a fascist regime in power.

I do agree that we need candidates that will wield political power to favor the working class and reduce marginalization. Depending on where you are check out Working Families Party or Sunrise Movement.

I disagree with Ironsides overall callout, but there is room for us to get a little more rowdy.

The democrats are trying hard to appeal to the republican base and give them things they want, to the detriment of their own base. They're trying to play both sides. We need to be shouting, calling out all this stupid shit and if media won't give us attention, they need to take to platforms that will help spread the word. We need clear communication and a concise, reasonably progressive agenda broadcast to the people, we need to call out Faux news on their bullshit and try to shoot straight to the people.

I liked where we were heading with "weird". We could've done better, but it was a step... maybe the only step.

Everyone needs to do their part. That includes you and me. Dont wait for others to step up, show responsibility by leading by example.

The moral high road is filled with corpses.

... we are doomed.

You don't need the "if"

“gRoW a sPiNe”

Nothing sounds weaker than tiptoeing around the phrase”grow some balls.”

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

All things being equal, "grow some balls" is a gendered statement. It implies you need "balls" to be strong or able to form coherent arguments or defend yourself.

I can see why someone would intentionally use an alternate phrase.
