I wouldn’t say any of those things are actually the party platform.
I agree that youth is needed in both parties. The Dems got it right with President Obama, then treated the nom like an entitlement in ‘16 & ‘20. Generally speaking, the next generation is getting more liberal on both sides.
But they are consequences of party decisions....if we are getting more liberal then we are in for more tough times...see previous quote...we should be trying to get back to the middle...
Yes, subjectively, and party decisions are often influenced/compromised by circumstances, not ideals.
Getting back to the middle would mean moving left in my book.
The mentally weak coward hath returned 😂

Unreal.
Thread hasn't been activated for a while. Was wondering if we were built back better or something.
You have to be joking.Going further left would put us on the Atlantic Ocean
Correct. Datt just engaged in a time honored liberal con where even when liberals get their way like the past 2 yrs they pretend like they’re centrists. If things are deemed a success they should have gone farther. If things are an epic fail ( see Joe Biden) they claim he didn’t go far enough
Datt left us reeling with his latest masterpiece
WHO to rename 'Monkeypox' to 'MPOX' at Biden admin's request
The World Health Organization is set to change the name of the monkeypox virus after extensive pressuring from President Biden's administration that the name was offensive to people of color.
The left and their racist ways. Thinking that people of color and monkeys go together. Par for the course.

I do find the new name kinda funny and eye-rolly in the same way that “Taco Tuesday” is supposed to be significant diversity.
And here I thought people had Taco Day because it’s a cheap easy food to prepare and people like to eat it. Should we not be eating tacos?
Depends on where you are Magellan
But that's just it. As the rest of the world tries to move on from these things, the left just can't do it. It eliminates the first chapter of the left's political playbook.
I don’t know how you figure “the rest of the world.”
The way to move on from something is to finish dealing with it. There are still people in the workforce — let alone alive — who experienced segregation (which may be the last time in history we have clear agreement that racism existed). You don’t move on by acting as if something hurtful just isn’t anymore, and what real harm does it do to change the name?
It’s also not for people who weren’t affected by a thing to tell those who were when it’s time to move on. Y’all know that’s true when it comes to grief: there’s no set timeline and no set means of grieving. Why would you expect that to be different when it comes to the effects of hundreds of years of institutional racism, especially when there are some from multiple living generations that experienced it directly?
I agree with some of what you’re saying. Like grief and healing. But then there’s some, like racism, that many use to profit off of, and many use it to stay as “victims.”
This is pure fact. But you don’t want to admit it.
If I were a person of color I would be concerned about the past as well as current injustices. I would hope, however, that I wouldn’t become so obsessed that paranoia and a sense of victimhood would overshadow reality I notice you’ve been silent about discrimination against Asian Americans in college admissions. So for some reason the system isn’t stacked against them Interesting
Kind of like how BLM disappeared after the 2020 election
Sure, I’ll admit it. Those aren’t the exact words I’d use, but yeah, okay. The question is how much of that there is relative to how much genuine racism still impacts people today. I suspect I disagree very much with most of y’all about that amount.
And I have no interest in discussing this further if you’re not also able to recognize that genuine institutional racism has been something white people have profited off of so much and for so long that it explains a lot of race-based disparity that still exists.

Again, that whole idea about “paranoia and a sense of victimhood” is continuing to judge how people who’ve been through something you haven’t ought to respond. If you’re starting a sentence with “If I were…” followed by something you aren’t, you should pause.
I’m not really sure what you’re referring to when you mention “current injustices,” because that’s one of the things I catch the most flack about here when I bring them up. It seems pretty contradictory to what you just said about moving on, the way I’m seeing it.
And yes, there should be more attention paid to racism against Asian-Americans. It’s not a competition. “What-about-ism” is a logical fallacy.

Almost as if BLM and Antifa were paid before mush brain became Potato in Chief.
Here’s a link to BLM’s news tab. I found a reference to “President-ELECT Biden” on page 11, so there are 10 or so pages of media announcements that cover the <2 years of President Biden’s tenure.
Antifa isn’t an actual, organized group. It’s more of an ideology. There’ve been rumors about their starting the Oregon wildfires in 2021 and essentially doxing SCOTUS Justices in 2022.

Didn’t mean to imply that BLM literally ceased to exist. I figured they still have a website and an office but they’re not in the public eye anymore. After Biden was elected they’d served their purpose. They’ll get the band back together if Trump runs

Depends on which way you’re facing, clown.

It absolutely is an organized group - you’re too moronic to see it though 😊
Why is it surprising that groups on the left would be more vocal under a Republican administration and groups from the right would be more vocal during a Democratic administration?
How many cities have burned because of the right?
You won’t answer me directly though, you’re afraid of me…..ever since I embarrassed you over sars CoV 2😉
BLM took a series of incidents, some of which were known to be racial hoaxes ( inc Muchael Brown and the Wendy’s drive in incident when the “victim” actually tazed the officer) and with the help of the ever complicit media incited acts of destruction the likes of which this country has never seen. This was not a reaction to Republican policies as you suggested in your response but rather a targeted effort to get the Black vote to the polls in order to defeat Trump. If their primary goal is “reform” it shouldn’t matter who’s in the Oval Office
Yeah anyone with any common sense knows BLM and Antifa were organized efforts to make things look more chaotic under Trump. Media turns a blind eye. Which also says they’re in on it.
If the current Potato in Chief was a Republican, he wouldn’t be allowed anywhere near DC.

Datt will probably chime in so I want h
Yup the Ferguson incident happened Obama’s last year in office and BLM would have died on the vine if Crooked had won in 2016. It would have never spread across the US without the medias practically begging for it
No, really: I don’t even agree with your alleged “racial hoaxes” or Mac’s claim about BLM and Antifa’s origins. Those are in the first sentences of each of your posts. How do we get past that and have any productive, constructive discussion?
