Still waiting for any reasonable Republican anywhere to repudiate the eradication idea.

I’ve met and participated in protests with some fairly militant left-wingers in the 1990s. Ultimately I rejected their arguments about using violence to achieve economic justice, workers’ power, etc. because I believed you’ve got to win with the power and strength of your ideas, not with bloodshed.

(And on a practical level, if it came down to a shooting match, the radical right wing/neo-Nazi crowd would destroy the leftists every day of the week. There was also that.)

I still believe ideas will win the day over violence, and hope extremists on both sides can understand that … because we don’t want to see how much blood would be spilled in the cataclysmic event the Atlantic piece talks about. With the advances in technology to organize and the free-for-all of obtaining weapons in this country, the casualties of such an event could be in the thousands.

Extremists don’t think that rationally. And, as you alluded to, extremists on one side already boast of their superior firepower if it comes to it.

Can we not call out AOC for what she is?

Good on her for getting elected and getting as much mileage as she did about the broke-bartender-running-for-Congress shtick.

She isn’t much more effectual than MTG or Boebert. Much smarter than both, of course.

But name one policy idea she’s come up with? Green New Deal is the only one I think of, and she’s drafting off Ed Markey’s heat there.

Again, she’s not a dolt like the MTGs and Blackburns and Boeberts. But she’s not been a transformational figure in D.C. That kinda sucks because Gen Zers should have a voice at the table, and she can be that.

The problem with Ocasio-Cortez is she offers up just enough ridiculous crap so trolls like Alma and idiot Republicans can claim that she somehow balances the scales dangerous morons like Greene and Boebert.

You said it better than I could. Thank you.

If the goal of releasing the raw recordings was to provide access for accused individuals to exonerate themselves, why would you ever turn the recordings over to a journalism outlet?

Just send them across the street to the LoC and let those wrongly accused defendants and their lawyers comb through them.

If, on the other hand, the goal is to create a re-edited, re-imagined 1/6 counternarrative on America's most popular, least trustworthy kayfabe cable news operation, then mission accomplished.

If the truth is what Carlson says it is the truth isn’t worth getting to.

I already regret engaging with your stupid trolling character, but the truth is always worth getting to.
