I’m working on it. Maybe. Well, one day. Like when other Left of centre, anti trump, anti corpo type folks oppose the things I oppose in correct manner and degree, duh.

    I always say that if leftists could ever learn the lesson “perfect is the enemy of good” then we could actually radically change the world.

      In my more conspiratorial moments, I do wonder if part of the point of social media was to keep us infighting so hard on incredibly niche issues.

      If I were rich and in charge, I would be on my knees thanking heavens that of all the things the Left and Right are fighting over, transgender sports is a bizzarely major issue instead of, yknow, almost anything else that would seriously change things.

        With you 100%. The way niche (note I didn’t say unimportant, keyboard warriors) issues are propped up as focal points in political discourse has all the markings of manipulated discourse, imo.

          Right? In what rational universe is “some people got angry on twitter” a legit angle to a news story unless your point is to prop up aforementioned keyboard warriors.
