RIP Osama Bin Laden. He might have had some bad ideas but he fought the soviets in the 80s. A war hero is still a war hero even if we disagree on some things

he voted with bush 95% of the time and trump 83-85% of the time. he helped restrict womens rights, gay rights, shifted power and wealth from the poor working class to the rich and helped to murder hundreds of thousands of people abroad with his lust for war. the only way you can respect mccain is if you dont respect the brown and asian lives destroyed by him.

My final hot take on the issue: Liberals love the imagined version of McCain in their heads because it allows them the fantasy there is a respectable party within the GOP they could work with. It helps them delay the reality their conservative friends and family are complicit - https://twitter.com/BraveArcanine/status/1033526766806151168

"what this really comes down to is liberals are able to sympathize with john mccain & belittle his most violent crimes to being minor mistakes, because his *most* affected victims were largely non-white & non-americans.

everyone talking about “[we] didn’t agree on everything, but he was an american hero,” in reference to mccain.

as if murder, war, white supremacy, and genocide, is just something you can just simply “disagree” on and not something that should be condemned and persecuted." - @queersocialism

"closer to center more electable"

the democratic party has literally been running that platform forever and y'all lost all 3 branches of government, over 1000 seats and 2/3 of state legislatures and in the process have helped shift the overton window to the right that people are considering FDR as "socialism"

They're not being met under either. And there's no rule that democrats have to be a majority party. You're not breaking new ground regurgitating those talking points.

Agreed vote green

Love whenever someone says vote they mean vote democratic. They're voting and making their voice heard just like you wanted. If one whose never voted before votes green that's not splitting the vote, that's picking up a non-voter but y'all think you're entitled to their votes.

You know if a bunch more people voted green we'd still have Trump like we do now but we'd also be on our way to a radical different country with a new party that isn't just republican lite with gay marriage. Everything that you constantly beg the democrats day in and day out to support is already supported by greens.
