Why must we divide the tribe? I don't know how leftist who can't identify as such plans to exercise collective power. But you do you.
People joke about the shooter "missing", but at a few hundred feet away, a 2" miss is clearly within the influence of wind.
Trump got extremely lucky. I don't think this was the result of a poor shot.
It'll be interesting to see how he responds to this. I think an appropriate message would be something like, 'This is terrible: assassinations only weaken democracy, and so no matter how great the threat Trump poses, his defeat must be electoral.'
To quote Dubya, I don't think Biden "does nuance". I doubt he's equipped. Perhaps this big event will give him an excuse to exist the race and say it's because of something other than the debate performance.
That's a great point: I'm not saying that you have to draw them a footbath. Sometimes violence is necessary. But it's gotta be part of a larger strategy to remove their sources of power. Domestically, direct physical street confrontations and assassinations seem to usually belie a lack of larger strategic goal.
Yeah, on reflection, I agree.
Fair. If you've got better terms, let me know. My point is that I think it would be silly to worry that the guy who tried to assassinate a fascist is going to make peaceful, non-violent antifa activists look bad. Using violence to fight fascism is the name of the game, right?
To be clear, I'm not hating on antifa. It's a strategy, and I don't like to fight with allies over tactics. But I think it's silly to be engaged in violent struggle and worry about the bad press of being associated with violent struggle.
You know what? I guess that's fair.
I guess we'll likely see.
Was the shooter a crisis actor? Did he fake this because he's planning to rig the election?
With all due respect... Jesse what the fuck are you talking about
Yes, yes, yes!
Oh man... this conflict is so, so, SO hard to watch or bear. It's so hard to process this kind of devastation.
Sometimes I feel kind of numb (like right now), and other times it gives me nightmares. Both are unpleasant. Even though they certainly don't compare at all to actually living through all this in Gaza.
