If Republicans start apologizing for their mistakes then we can talk. Never will happen though, best we get is "I was wrong this time but I learned nothing"

Why do you care what tankies think? Do you need their help to win elections?

If Isreal treated Palestinians like how China treats the Uyghurs then Kamala would be president.

Less thinking of the golden rule, more about Dietrich Bonhoeffer, but he was a theologian so maybe that's part of it. He said something to the effect that some politicians come to power through cynicism of the people and that the antidote is a politics that utilizes people's ability to act independently (or alternatively without coercion).

I mean it in the way that how we treat others is being reflected by how the government treats us. This article is a fine example of people acting like they don't need to listen to those they disagree with because they already figured out how the world works. I wish I could say I'm immune to this, I am not.

In the end we all get the government we deserve, don't we?

Well good thing we have you to tell us what our intentions are. I can now see why you defend the "adults in the room", this behavior mirrors them well.

Every accusation is a confession. Makes me wonder what are you not being honest about here?

And then they go and vote down a bill to stop the war in Iran.

just because of the number of commas in their bank

Having a billion dollars is like having a get out of jail free card. The justice system doesn't work when the perp has more influence then a prince. Has little to do with them as a person, everything to do with having a functioning democracy.

They said: Demz should win over independent voters

You heard: Vote 3rd party

Take a moment for yourself.
