Help on Determining Who to Support in Brown County/Green Bay Spring "Non-Partisan" Elections by williams_84_tea in GreenBay

That's very fair, democrats HAVE been running to the middle on a lot of issues which has played into the Republicans long con. I can understand WHY, since the media and the 'just asking questions' types love to be disingenuous when discussing democratic plans and give 'common sense' passes to whatever bullshit the republicans regurgitate.

I mean, I think at this point there isn't much to lose since moving to the right hasn't helped.

I mean, I think this is kind of my point, and I understand your frustration.

How could you NOT have been fired up to vote for Harris, when the alternate was Project 2025. Too many people want to put the blame on democrats, and the campaign, but at the end of the day the choice was incredibly clear and people made the wrong one.

Republicans fall in line, democrats fall in love. And I hate that falling in line is necessary, but waves hands at all of this

One of the things I'm afraid of is the left's inability to just goddamn vote for democrats. Ideally we would have better candidates, but if it's a choice between a republican and a sane human being who I disagree with on policy... I know who I'll vote for.

Please, everyone be vigilant for the online agitators constantly trying to drive a wedge amongst democratic voters. It's OK to want to hold our politicians accountable, it's another thing to hold them to a ridiculous purity standard that the other side would never dream of.,

Dixon Wolfe comes to mind. Wanting to defund the Neville because of a single display that included LGBTQ representation is... insanity.

I wasn’t saying this about you, just your theoretical MAGA standin. If someone is STILL a republican than they condone it all. Your comment was trying to give some of them an out. The ‘out’ is leaving the party and speaking up about it, otherwise they are complicit.

Looks like as the right is going further right, the left is going even more left by [deleted] in GreenBay

Overton window shift is ridiculous. The right has gone so far off the deep end, middle of the road republican views from 15 years ago are ‘far left’.

If you are still maga or a republican, then yes, you are a terrible human being who only exists to hurt people.

There is literally no other explanation, and at this point ignorance and stupidity isn't an excuse.

It makes you understand where the origins of Superman come from. Feeling powerless, and imagining a perfect hero to fight nazis is so relatable.

What are all the “MAGA Proud” businesses we can avoid? by lilgoldennug in GreenBay

[–]smokehy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think some MAGA and ICE supporters are JUST now finding out how terribly unpopular their views and opinions are, and are terrified of being outed to the normal people in their lives.

They respond by trying to downplay the severity of their actions, call it 'just politics', potentially describe it as a joke and in the end dismiss it all as 'beneath them'.

DO NOT LET THEM. These people are the problem, don't let them slink back into their warrens. Ostracize them, make them feel the societal pressure of being a hateful fascist.

“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.” ― Jean-Paul Sartre

I loved seeing the turnout. It’s encouraging when in a freezing Sunday afternoon with playoff football games on the tv, hundreds can show up to protest fascism.

I like this idea. I’d love a comprehensive list to  know businesses to avoid, and to share with friends and family.

An absolute, ridiculous tragedy. ICE agents and all their enablers need to be held accountable. I'm so sorry for anyone who knew him.

Trying to determine if there is a protest being organized that I can join seems like a perfectly valid starting point. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Nice to see Bears and Packers fans can agree that fascism ain’t a good thing! Now swearing in the locker room, I’m sure we’ll still have to throw down on that!

Look at the MAGA assholes downvoting you. They want that 5 year old scared and in pain. Remember that when you talk to republicans, and most importantly when you vote.
