I saw a clip from Tufts where activists are protesting one of the students getting abducted. Guess what some great speeches were about?

Quote :
"Elizabeth Warren is not going to save you"


Quote :
"The Democrats are not going to save you, they did nothing"


At a certain point, you begin to wonder why and how the Democrats let themselves become punching bags for these stupid idiots instead of shutting them down. Even as the progressives announce their hate for the Democrats, the Democrats just let themselves be hated, cause it's like the progressives are their children going through a phase or something, that's the dynamic

At the end of the day, these idiots essentially aren't American, they feel no duty to their own country, they are failures, and they have the mindset of failures. all they do is cry and cry and cry, and frankly I'm tired of it The Republicans and MAGA aren't any better, they aren't American either, they're phonies. none of these clowns have that institutionalized sense of being an American, they're just fucking idiots

we'd probably be better off having the original thirteen states run the rest of the country by decree

A backseat to who or what? The Republicans? The left? What do activists have to do with the Dem party?

^^You seem to have no shortage of complaints, but few proposed solutions. I don't think it is helpful to treat both parties as equivalently bad. One is much worse. It's not hard for any educated and engaged person to see (assuming said person is not motivated purely by self-interest).

OK. You started out talking about progressives specifically, and by the end seemed to be talking about Democrats generally.

He wasn't talking about progressives he was talking about student protestors, just calling them progressives. I mean Warren is about as progressive as you get for the Dem senate, second to Sanders. And the first post seemed to be about immigration arrests then moved to Gaza in the 2nd.

Also it seems a little dangerous to start calling the first group unamerican bc before you know it the 2nd group you mentioned is gonna be standing beside nodding their head and pretending they didn't hear you call them unamerican too.

And the unamerican activity in question is protesting masked federal agents arresting legal residents bc the president is mad at something they said? These things are equivalent??

There's nothing wrong with protesting what they did, in fact I stand by that. But it's just pathetic to see the same people who were all "don't vote for Democrats in 2024" STILL do the same BS even after seeing their fellow activists get abducted by the administration elected in part by their lack of consideration. Your fellow student gets abducted by Trump's administration... what do you say? "THE DEMOCRATS AREN'T GONNA SAVE US, ELIZABETH WARREN ISN'T GONNA SAVE US"

wtf?

Great article out on this topic

When you successfully stop an autocracy it seems like nothing happened, but it takes a lot of work
