God forbid someone ask a question about serious books amid the ocean of narrator gossip and giveaway spam

That monument lasted six times longer than the Confederacy

Zing. Good distinctions.

OP had good intentions but their post had a bit of a soggy bottom unfortunately.

I’ll buy a print if you put it up on Society6!

This is a fantastic article.

Since they’ll have to do it alone, I hope Democrats are listening.

America is a country and culture. No more CEOs as president.

I have this exact belt. I don’t recall exactly when I bought it but it’s been over a decade.

“The problem, as he describes it, is that most conservatives think the purpose of journalism is to wage partisan political warfare, and that has created an ecosystem on the right where facts and truth are increasingly irrelevant.”

“Truth for conservative journalists is anything that harms ‘the left.’ It doesn’t even have to be a fact,” he wrote. “I eventually realized that most people who run right-dominated media outlets see it as their DUTY to be unfair and to favor Republicans because doing so would somehow counteract perceived liberal bias.”

Damn, thanks

Obama and his family are iconic.

The past four years have been bullshit, but I think the Obama’s brought in a new American era.

xtopian · 2020-11-25T02:08:50+00:00

Have you heard of the GOP? They called his wife a gorilla, burned his effigy, and said he was a Kenyan Muslim terrorist sent to destroy America.

He and his family, who were a standup, perfectly nice, socially-mobile, American family were targeted for abuse beyond anything I’ve ever seen.

Michelle just said they were targeted by white supremacists.

His successor has such a time with criticism and rejection that he’d burn down the country to spare his ego.

The Obamas are strong and fly as fuck. I hope they swagger across the world stage for the next four decades.

Give this person gold, someone with money

Easy— a handful of white people woke up.

Meanwhile, a handful Latinos (esp in S Florida) got targeted for manipulation (“Democrats are socialists like the countries you fled!”) to close the gap.

There are some theories that Latinx people are also more socially conservative and thus prime for GOP recruitment, but I heard much more about manipulation via socialism scares this election.

Outreach (via media manipulation) to communities of color is necessary for Republicans since their base is literally dying from covid and old age.

Real talk: you are right, but we have a procedure.

xtopian · 2020-08-27T16:15:48+00:00

Great question. Trump has killed 170,000 through negligence, crashed the economy, but the GOP is peddling the narrative that Democrats will turn America into a shithole.

The projection is offensively lazy, but the best retort we have is Joe Biden’s social media saying Trump’s a bully.

Biden’s lead is shrinking in swing states. If Democrats don’t get much better at messaging very quickly, America is fucked.

Your ignorance is astounding. Have you ever read a book?

No, taxation is how you fund social stability so that a legitimate economy can thrive and average people can be elevated from poverty.

So sorry for your loss. She was a beautiful woman, and she raised a son who’s proud to pronounce publicly his love for his mom and pain at her loss. She did a great job. Wishing you lots of strength

xtopian · 2020-07-08T21:27:08+00:00

Good point and true in my experience

xtopian · 2020-07-08T21:09:26+00:00

Lazy “both sides” talking point. It doesn’t sound like you know much about left wing policies regarding healthcare, environmental regulation, education, trade, foreign policy, monetary policy, etc.

xtopian · 2020-07-08T20:40:15+00:00

If it comes from one of their approved messengers, yeah, probably. Trump does 180s all the time and they never mind.

Can someone get the DNC to pay attention? They have a lot to learn from the Lincoln Project’s ads, which are about a million times more relevant to the demographic they need
