I generally think that if someone agree with you an issue, you can almost always work with them toward achieving it (the "almost" here is to give me wiggle room to not work with nazis and shit).Before we start talking about Tim Cook's political activity at all I would want some clarity on his political donations and Apple's.
Billionaires want you to think about their public statements and not their private choices. The latter are more important.
When you write it this way the meme gets lost and it just looks like you want her to be Speaker of the House
I really dread liberals going down the path of anyone having a record on crime punishment/prosecution being disqualifying. I want people to pay their child support and not graffiti and not sell drugs in my neighborhood. This cannot become a litmus test.

But I am more and more starting to think that a whole lot of liberal rich people use gay rights and immigration in a way that is really not all that different than how conservative use the same "wedge issues" with their base.
I mean, they're obviously on the right side of the issue, and that's important, but like, they all try to get people to like them and sometime vote for them because hey, I may not like tax cuts for the rich, but at least they're against abortion/pro gay rights.
Not awesome, but like, not being able to afford child support warrants felony defacto debtors prison?Not paying your child support is literally stealing food out of your child's mouth. Not sure what the circumstances would be to make that awesome.
I'm upset enough that I'm agreeing with my 16 years old self, you don't need to rub it in.You have arrived at the Marxist analysis of race. Here is your complimentary subscription to Jacobin.
This is worse than what rep Omar said. What the fuck.
They can and should do research to come to an understanding on the nuance without having first hand experience with it.

Not saying that was the circumstance, just saying that would be a circumstance in which a felony is probably not appropriate.
The main roadblock to expansion of the welfare state is the racism, not the marginally different views on economic policy.I generally think that if someone agree with you an issue, you can almost always work with them toward achieving it (the "almost" here is to give me wiggle room to not work with nazis and shit).

Lol, Bernie isn't going to drive turnout more than the first black woman to have a shot at President. I guess Warren can be the first American Indian. Oh wrong thread. Whatevr
Tim Cook thinks that Apple pays too much in tax, I don't think that's a marginally different views than mine.The main roadblock to expansion of the welfare state is the racism, not the marginally different views on economic policy.

And not all sex workers were worried about getting busted. David, who sees female clients, said he wasn't afraid of arrest during Super Bowl week since he knows the target of stings is nearly always female sex workers.

That tax holiday is fucking bullshit, and like, we did it under Bush so those motherfuckers can't even claim ignorance on what this shit will do.We're competing with the EU. But now the US's statutory rate is in line with most EU countries, and the wealthy need to have higher taxes to compensate for the 2018 tax cuts. So they can stop bitching.
These people are not smart nor acting in good faith.
Seriously, Omar's tweets were sloppy, but the response to them were pretty damn sloppy themselves, and I doubt we're going to get the same apology from them that Omar gave.

Congressional leaders of both parties really did a good job today of debunking the notion that pro-Israel groups wield disproportionate influence on Capitol Hill.
I think she would have tripped some bad faith alarms regardless of what she said, partly because it's Israel, partly because she's Muslim -- and I don't think she should be scared of tripping those particular alarms. But she tripped too many alarms, some in good faith, by being sloppy in this instance.
Attacks over antisemitism from the right are double annoying because they only reason they give a damn about Israel in the first place is insofar as it's important to evangelicals' entire apocalypse nonsense and conveniently also aligns with their general disdain for brown people. It's ludicrous.
i just picture a maga defacing a jewish cemetary taking a moment to like a post condemning "antisemitism" from a muslim.

Given what's gone down today did we ever have a topic covering Kamala's racist campaign flyers during her DA race? I mean surely the people who are certain Omar's comments were antisemitic are absolute furious at Kamala for that bigoted fear-mongering?
The back of that flyer:
Is it full of women?
The back of that flyer:
Most of it is criticizing her opponent's over-incarceration of minority kids.
Binders full of bad key policies
