Yes, we know both sides are evil. That’s the point MLK was making.
Fine, enjoy watching "nothing change"
I’ve been watching that for my whole life. Democrats had the chance to enshrine our civil rights into law. Instead they stood by and did nothing. Now women can’t get abortions.
That’s all you lot do. Nothing. You’ve never stood up for anything other than protecting the status quo. That’s why your candidate campaigned with republicans. That’s why she endorsed the genocide in Gaza and promised continued support for apartheid.
Enjoy, if you don't care what happens to you, I sure don't either. This is how totalitarians take over countries e.g. Germany, Iran, they separate the left from the liberals. Looks like it's working.
I’m a leftist. I’m armed. Nothing is gonna happen to me. Nothing is gonna happen to our trans and queer brothers and sisters, because we’ll be out there in the streets in black bloc, while you sit at home complaining about how we’re causing a ruckus.
You need to worry about your own neck.
And there it is, you're probably an accelerationist and dream that after the system collapses you will emerge victorious. Don't forget to create a multi-party system in your new country.
Yes, there it is. Only one of us is hiding who they are. I’ve always been pretty open about the fact that inaction by democrats has radicalized me. You seem to think it’s some kind of gotcha for you, but it isn’t.
Democrats are the enemy of the working class, the same as republicans. You deserve what they’re going to try to do to you.
So not American, but I have a feeling MLK worried about a whole lot more about civil rights, racism and poverty rather than the so-called "liberal threat."
Nice try.
I was quoting him. He literally said moderates were the “greatest threat to justice”, and that they posed a challenge comparable to white supremacists.
Nice try.
