You hear about MLK Jr.'s infamous letter about the White Moderate (bizarrely interpreted as referring to fiscal leftists), but not the fact that his alignment with local worker parties was what caused the government to tar his movement and infiltrate it, ultimately indirectly encouraging his assassin.

Wait, are you saying that it's MLK's fault he got shot because he worked with labor parties?

The fact this fantastically bad idea got through a number of people that had to sign off on it is pretty telling.

They are either the most socially ignorant newspaper people in existence or racists. I'm leaning to racists but there are tones of dumb rich people with money.

Hmm weird it looks like the plan was for Crowley to ratfuck AOC from the beginning and now the op-eds that were planned are coming out so he can "regretfully" start up his campaign because he's being asked so desperately and a little competition never hurt of course. This certainly is an oversight like him "forgetting" to remove the campaigning for congress label from his twitter account. Lieberman is human garbage as are the Democrats that are behind this. AOC calling his lying, treacherous rear end out was the correct decision even if it allowed them to pretend she's clearly being paranoid.

If they succeed in this (I'm still hopeful they won't but you never know if they really start hammering and getting Republicans in the district to cross over and vote for him combined with name recognition and a few months of character assassination against AOC) I will never vote for their poo poo party again unless it's someone actually interested in making life better for people "lesser evil" be damned. The likes of Crowley and Leiberman aren't going to do poo poo for anyone anyway while Manchin and crew actively vote for fascist justices. The saving grace is that they are too lovely at campaigning to really orchestrate a coup but if there's one thing that gets centrists mobilized it's making sure the left has no voice in government.

Yeah, same.

I think their is a lot of reasons to accuse Keith Ellison of abuse and I don't think anyone here is confused about why the accusers wouldn't want to post a video of their mom being abused. Normally I would accept this without question but with the history of the last few trump years makes it hard to tell for me if it's genuine or not, which bothers me.

I'm sorry to say, but trump posters on twitter will pretend anything that is a negative of their opponents is real and are willing to manufacture evidence of such. For me it's a boy who cried wolf situation where I am worried that their is an actual wolf but am also done with taking conservatives at face value which leads me to the current dilemma.

There's no reason to assume it's not real, and the way you're phrasing it suggests the only reason you're so eager to disbelieve it is because the person being accused is a Democrat.

I'm having trouble believing it because the people pushing it have been disingenuous liars my entire loving life and it's one Facebook post.

You might have to think awhile since it was at least two years ago and it's white people making poo poo up to justify why they hated a black guy so it might have gone into the memory hole all that garbage goes in.
