This is the first time the Democratic strategy hasn’t disappointed me in years. Nealy everyone is pushing in the same direction, and the messaging has been nearly flawless.

I don’t understand your hate. You hate him because his message has been consistent for 25 years?

Edit: full disclosure. I met Mr. Moore in 1998. He generously gave his time to speak to everyone that wanted to speak with him. He gave out personal contact information to some community organizers, and really seemed interested in helping a bunch of us kids who were trying to change the world. I really respect him a lot.

I only see it as a big fuck you to the eventual democratic candidate. He splits the “progressive” side of the vote and gets the Republican elected.

I was raised in the city…shitty…ever since i was an iddy biddy kiddy drinking liquor out my mama’s tiddy.

It can be both

Your response doesn’t logically respond to my comment. It attempts to reframe the argument by setting up a “strawman,” and shows that you fail to understand (or choosing to ignore because it doesn’t support your new reframed argument) the difference between civil and criminal law in the United States.

It can’t be a crime unless there is a criminal statute that applies. See if you can find one thst applies.

It’s not a crime.

You just keep shifting your argument to create some sort of sympathy. I guess. No one says a rich person isn’t a victim. The point is is being a victim as a wealthy and influential woman like Taylor is a lot different than being a victim in a working class context. If you disagree with that, then you’re either being intellectually dishonest or living in a dream world.

Even the law agrees. It’s a lot harder as a celebrity to win a defamation lawsuit than it is being a normal person. You typically have to show actual malice. Frankly, that’s the legal standard that would probably apply to any lawsuit involving the deep fakes anyway.

That’s not their point and you know it. Get your bad faith debating tactics out of here.

She isn’t living “every woman’s nightmare” because a woman without the wealth and influence Taylor has might actually suffer significant consequences. For Taylor, it’s just a weird Tuesday. For an average small town lady, it might mean loss of a job, loss of mate, estrangement from family and friends… That’s a nightmare.

Ranked choice voting is our only hope.

“science”… That’s just a road to hell with extra steps.

You are assuming that a good democratic candidate wouldn’t win. Maybe a good democratic candidate never ran because they didn’t want to split the vote.

If they vote for a republican then so be it. Better than a Republican in Dem’s clothes. Besides, maybe when people have an option that is better than “shitty fake dem” versus fascist, maybe they’ll surprise you.

No. He kept his pockets lined with cash from the coal industry.

But it does mean a damn. Maybe not to you… But it means a lot to some people. Also, I’m not sure how any informed person can say “it doesn’t matter” post Cambridge Analytica.

At those prices, that’s not the only thing getting fucked.
