If you don’t want to see furries… maybe don’t go to the convention! Wild choice.

Is he seriously wearing a bulletproof vest under his shirt? How delusional do you have to be? Psycho behavior.

Then to be clear, you’re shadowboxing here. No one in these comments thinks we should be focusing on language policing over any other issues. Everyone here is arguing the same point I am, that condemning fucked up speech and working on policy are not mutually exclusive. Are these people arguing for “Political Correctness” over policy in the room with us right now?

I look forward to people with your mindset being left in the dust. This is just another instance of the right to free speech being different from the freedom from consequences. But sure, go ahead, keep defending using slurs (despite the fact that every campaign that ran on slurs and attacks lost). We can work on actual policy that Americans want and also say “yeah, language like that is wrong and we’re gonna move past it.” Why are you going to bat for bullies?

They’re mad that Talarico pointed out that the original text uses male language for Yahweh and female language for the holy spirit. Talarico said god has aspects of masculinity and feminity, and conservatives flipped out. He cited their actual book.

Is your point supposed to be a critique of removing billionaire privacy on anti-“an eye for an eye” grounds? It’s not revenge or retaliation. It’s parity. If they can put us in a surveillance state, they should be spied on too. Why would we take the moral high road over the people trying to kill the planet for profit? Fuck 'em.

I generally agree, regardless of which neoliberal party wins, the capitalist class benefits. However, I think placing both parties on the same playing field there is irresponsible. There is a reason all of the billionaire Epstein class is trying really, really hard to maintain Republican control. I prefer the better of two bad options over accelerationism.

That’s exactly what I mean. I don’t give a damn about the Democratic party. Organizing on the local level is for mutual aid, labor protections, etc. Local leftist (not Dems, leftists) organizations do a lot.

I think their point is that a leftist candidate would never win in Texas, so Talarico is preferable to Paxton even though his politics aren’t ideal. Perfect is the enemy of good, and will simply slide us into a worse and worse situation. We need to make incremental improvements and organize on the local level, because the revolution isn’t happening tomorrow.

Use better words.
