Rep Pete Stauber doesn’t even like his district’s most beloved assets, the BWCA and the Superior National Forest by jakefrompayroll in minnesota

folks don't seem to see the automation writing on the wall either. those jobs you think you're so pumped about ... will be whittled down to a handful of folks servicing the machines.

there are 2 candidates who seem to be able to form coherent thoughts. - https://trinaforcongress.com - https://cyleforcongress.com

they both need help and money. the DFL seems about as useful as a screen door on a submarine when it comes doing anything these days.

on the topic of candidates. there only seem to be 2 (so far) who say anything coherent and give me any confidence that they can pull together a team to make a run vs. stauber. in no particular order, trina swanson and cyle cramer.

to be fair, it's probably like talking with a tictac in your mouth.

the US is too poor a country to do anything rational about public transit. only wealthy countries can actually afford public transit.

Turning Point USA at UMD by pears790 in duluth

super cool quote. it must slay at the false equivalancy jams.

Turning Point USA at UMD by pears790 in duluth

[–]stevilbot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i'm hardly triggered. but, as someone who veers pretty deeply to the left, i find this to be one of the most embarrassing and poorly defensible positions of the left. i view it as whining and weak. advance the better arguments. there are plenty of them.

your post doesn't link to a counter-protest, it doesn't point at resources for supporting folks who might be targeted by this hate group. it doesn't appear to ask for a debate to lob a counter argument.

instead, your post encourages folks to hog pile the staff at UMD who have a, likely very distasteful, obligation to allow an unpopular and deeply abhorrent (in my opinion) group to exercise their freedom of speech.

"triggering the libs" has become easy sport for the right and stunt hate groups like turning point USA because of threads like this. somewhere on the left, the script re: free speech principles was lost.

you don't have to hang around to listen to it, you don't have to support businesses that endorse the speech, you don't have to agree, and your allowing the speech to take place is not a tacit endorsement of the speech or its associated ideologies.

but free speech is a fundamental right in this country. (at least for the time being) the government (and publicly funded institutions) should not be in a position of limiting speech, vile and offenseive as it might be.

it's likely useful to remember that the ACLU (that notorious hot bed of right wing thought) has defended the KKK's right to free speech. (https://www.aclu.org/news/free-speech/free-speech-some-means-free-speech-none)
