I’m currently annoying nazis.

So nothing. This isn't directed at you, but I'm getting really tired of so many on the left bitching about everything, but not offering any viable alternatives. People don't want to get their hands dirty in the trenches.

Reminds me of a Teddy Roosevelt quote:

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.”

But, feel free to dismiss this wholesale since he was a bad person (probably).

That not a plan. It really easy to criticize from the outside instead of doing anything. You're doing less than anything.

I think things aren't usually so black and white. You've pointed to one example of a gray area. There are many like it.

If God wills it, I will blow out this fire with my own blow bags, Jack.

Currently reading The Demon of Unrest and it's wild to see how different the party was prior to the electoral cleave. One nice thing, I bet the ghost of the Chivalry are very unhappy that "their people" are now Republicans.

I agree. I was more using her to make a point. I think a better example would be Howard Dean or Al Franken.

But she would never win a Democrat ticket. Democrats only elect perfect people. Perfect people don't exist. So democrats only elect people who pretend they're perfect.

So what's your plan?

Right? I don't think Biden is able to appreciate the gravitas of this election. Like physically unable.

Real Americans can do as they please. Or something.

It's like peaceful reform is impossible.

I will never forgive her for that.
