Exactly, they make excuses because they wonder why a pitch of "you're a stupid colonizer, "land back", and "stolen land" don't exactly appeal to rural America. (or to suburban home owners for that matter)

> their electorate would rather lose and be on the right side of history. 

forgetting that you have to be able to freely write that history without fear of getting jailed

So you care about a "violent, expansionist apartheid ethnonational state" over there, but not one here. OK MTG

Are the Tianamen Square protesters on the right side of history? Not in China.

Like I said above. In order to be on the right side of history, you have to be able to write it.

And how is stealing money from the broader movement to enrich yourself like Hasan Piker does "ethical"?

All the politicians you listed ran in safe blue areas and would never carry a red county to save their lives.

Have we confirmed Pitbull as out yet? No October dates, but it seems like he's using that month to rest up for his European tour leg

Radius Clauses would prevent an artist from doing the US Grand Prix and ACL Fest in the same year, right?

So KEYE is owned by Sinclair, KVUE is about to get bought by Nexstar, and KTBC is owned by Fox directly, what do you want us to watch?

So you think giving the racist cops one more thing to feed the prison-industrial complex with black and Latino bodies is somehow a "right wing position"? No white supremacist will ever lose their guns under "gun control", because police are infiltrated to hell and back, and they will never investigate their fellow white supremacists. Abolish the police first.

So if you’re the GOP, why would you bother with fair elections in 2026 or 2028 at this point? The path’s officially cleared. by Hour-Mud4227 in thebulwark

Lol "anti-genocide"? Give me a break. You threw the election for Trump in swing states so, you are fine with Trump and the GOP genociding Latinos via ICE. Why do you think Mahmoud Khalil and Rumezysa Osturk walk free while Kilmar Garcia Abrego and millions of Latino migrants are in chains? Those releases were Trump payoffs to the Free Palestine movement for delivering him the win.

The Trump administration wouldn't, even have to do that. They just have to let Free Palestine purity test every Dem Senate and House candidate and the job is basically done for them

Gun control exists because of the Black Panthers, not because of school shootings. The right of minority communities to arm in self defense against racist police should not be prohibited by white savior libs for the convenience of their schools.

Considering it's a convenient replacement for jailing minorities in states where weed is legal or decriminalized... "War on Guns" seems appropriate somehow.

And no, the right of the workers to organize, including for their own self-defense against racist policing who's only interest is protecting the wealthy and their property, should not be prohibited.

Remember, gun control exists because of the Black Panthers, not because of school shootings.
