To be (ugh) fair to Tom Perez if he said the words "Donald Trump is a racist" or "Donald Trump is a bigot" or whatever, it'd be all over Fox then CNN and Twitter and whatever the hell else about how Tom Perez is dividing America and poo poo. It would be big news and there would be a lot of what you would basically have to call concern trolling from pretty much everyone in the media. And that would drag attention away from Trump actually being a racist (which everyone already knows and doesn't need explained to them) to the "controversy" of calling him what he obviously loving is. Which in the very short term is probably bad because we have an election next Tuesday. Having said that: People like a Tom Perez are a big part of the reason that our national media sucks so much poo poo, because liberals do not hold journalists accountable when they gently caress them over with biased coverage and reporting the controversy and other weaselly loving nonsense that they do all the time. Like for example the very instant that Fox News started doing reporting on loving "death panels" and poo poo, Obama should have booted them from the loving press corps for the rest of his administration. Same goes for War On Christmas stuff that they do every year. They're clearly not reporting the facts in good faith, they're clearly just doing opinion pieces disguised as journalism, and everyone knows it - that has no place in the press pool, actually. You wouldn't let Breitbart in there so don't let in other outlets that are doing the same basic thing but for whatever reason have a more prestigious name. Just cut them off. Tarnish their reputation. They deserve it. And if you do that, then the long-term payoff is that journalists and news outlets aren't loving you over by appealing to the lowest common denominator all the time, and occasionally make the effort to explain and inform, because the alternative is that their ratings are in the toilet because they've hardly got any access. But, sadly, there is a short-term cost in that those same outlets are going to hammer you at first and hope you back down, which you'll do because you're a liberal and you're totally unable to think beyond the next election.

Yeah, but having people openly saying that about Trump would be a net positive, and it's not like the media is going to focus on useful things to begin with. Perez is pathetic to the point where it's almost humorous. Like, at first it was my instinct to sort of assume that even though he looks all goofy and sweaty and concerned in every photo of him, that the reality would be something more nuanced, but it turns out that in real life he's exactly like the caricature you'd imagine from the photos. Kinda reminds me of how the same thing was true of Hillary; I tried to keep an open mind about how the stereotypes might be wrong, but over time she's proved herself to actually be a living "entitled wealthy white woman" stereotype.

I get what you're saying Kilroy but on the other hand there's an issue with the balance of power when the GOP can trumpet their usual filth and you can't even call them a racist without worrying about boomer grandpas getting off the couch and voting after a nonstop onslaught of propoganda.

The people who would get mad about Tom Perez calling Trump a racist are Republicans. By definition, nothing a Democrat ever does short of honorable seppuku will make a Republican happy. Being a spineless poo poo sack does nothing, but actually calling Trump what he is had the potential to rally the left. But Perez doesn't represent the left, he represents temporarily embarrassed Republicans, so in that context the move makes perfect sense.

https://twitter.com/GeorgiaDemocrat/status/1058509053486395392 I'll credit what he's trying to say here, but assuming he isn't just shifting blame does he think there was this big void of political activity from 2010 onward? What does he think happened in all those lost states?

Anyway my point was just that the strategy where you're calling Trump an obvious racist and refusing to deal with media that treat the fucker with kid gloves and act as apologists for fascism, is a long game. Or maybe a medium game. Maybe even a game played out over the course of a month. It's not something to start the weekend before an election. And yes I'm well aware that's not Perez's calculus here. His calculus is "I'm a loving coward leading an organization of cowards which purpose is to get cowards elected to public office so we can make money" and it so happens that that calculus looks sort of like what you might do if you were an ordinary non-cowardly person transplanted into Tom Perez's body 100 hours before an important election.

Worrying about what Republican propaganda will say about you is a fool's game in an era where those same Republicans are filing lawsuits/writing legislation to cripple the ACA while campaigning on protecting preexisting conditions and George Soros is buying invasion forces that are a thousand miles away on foot that will be here tonight to kick your dog. They're going to say whatever the gently caress they want, whenever they want. You can't fight that kind of propaganda by trying to avoid letting them say bad things about you.

Apparently there was an incel mass shooting in Florida yesterday. 40-year-old incel shot up a yoga studio. Didn't get much coverage right away because only two were killed and that's small potatoes these days. He'd been arrested repeatedly for groping women in public, but charges had never been pursued. His social media was a real treat, apparently. quote:Another of Beierle’s 2014 videos was titled “The Rebirth of my Misogynism,” and featured him listing the names of women — from eighth grade until his time in the Army — whom he said caused his “rebirth.” (A Pentagon spokesperson told BuzzFeed News Beierle served from 2008 to 2010).

I appreciate the due diligence youtube displayed in handling this problem by tackling the problem four years and two bodies too late.

Hurray for Kemp declaring the Democratic Party committed unnamed cyber crimes just before the election. It’s ok, this was only posted on all the SoS websites for finding your polling location. I’m sure this is a fair and honest investigation not just another blatant attempt to rig the election. And of course we all know that if Kemp isn’t punished, he must have done nothing wrong!

His opponent, Sarah Smith, is kind of a disappointment though (I voted for her, but still). We asked her during the DSA endorsement meeting how she felt about packing the court and she did not know what we were talking about. Someone explained it to her and she was like "yeah that's a good idea" but...

Kemp is totally dumb and corrupt enough to for some reason throw in 'colluding with Russians for literally no good reason' to that, though, so I don't blame ya.
