OK, watched 2 1/2 minutes of that 34 minute video. It's kind of racist. She is saying "we" but she means we blacks. We've got to be more inclusive to achieve unity.
Quick to condemn, ain't ya?

There are some very articulate people it expressed their reasoning clearly, and you condemn without listening... let's talk about "kind of racist"

At this point, with raging racists in the White House, I think they made the correct decision. Calling out the NG or Army to murder black/brown people in the street (because they are terrorists) would just further empower them.

Their message, "You fucking honkies put him there, now it is up to you to do something about it." although they didn't say it as bluntly, that is their message.
Painfully obvious to everyone here except the likes of

If you actually pay attention to her entire post she has a very valid point.

I get it but I choose to get involved. I just bring 3 white friends with me in case something goes down I have help/witnesses.

I hate to turn this into a joke but Chris Rock had a bit when he gave black people advice on how to avoid getting your ass kicked by the police. One piece of advice was to bring a white friend. He is correct. In Trump’s America only white people have rights. The rest of us have consequences.

Trump doesn't care.

Dude is clearly going to do what he wants, as far as he's concerned he has a mandate to enforce his will on America.

The level of cultist thinking in the Republican camp is at 11. After years of "you either support Donald or you're a RINO" indoctrination, and then Republicans are the real Americans, anyone who doesn't support Donny is the enemy not a fellow American.

The protests are good for reminding people who already dislike Trump that there are people out there that dislike Trump, and for witty protest signs, but I doubt it makes any inroads to the 30% of Americans who are deep in the cult and likely can even be spun as an "attack" (metaphorically or literally) at a moments notice by Fox News (just show some French protestors burning something and then say it happened in come city no one will ever visit and boom).

A reminder that if you're in a red state, change your party affiliation to Republican ASAP. You can vote for the least crazy person in the Republican Primary (or write in something else if they're all crazy) and it will make you harder to purge for the 2026 elections.
One thing that is working Tesla as a company is losing value every day. Sales are tanking and so is the stock price.

Pressure is mounting on politicians. They will respond if they think they will lose their jobs.

Yeah, I could have watched more, but bailed with the identity-as-black. I understand that blacks have their perspective, at least sometimes. I actually very much respect that. They know when they are being screwed, are used to it in America. They seldom vote Republican. I never have, never will. Anyway, showing up to protest on one special day is pretty token stuff, I get that.

Is there some point to the direct callouts? Clearly you and I aren't going to agree on much, so why bother trying to engage me? I don't understand what you get out of it. Is it simply a way to be popular with like minded people?

Yeah, that's it. JFC

Just pointing out to everyone else your support of racists. I know you will never see it.

Now we'll standby why you attempt to redefine the definition. Same old M.O.

I know if I supported a political party that was also enthusiastically supported by Nazis I would ask myself why they are such big fans.

Guess what guys, the Nazis are not big fans of Trump due to their deeply held beliefs in eliminating the estate tax or lowering taxes on capital gains.

I made a sign with "We the People" styled after the Constitution and "vets against Trump" on the top.

Hey man, you seem like a mostly reasonable fellow.

Who is crazier? Me and some of my ranting? Or people who still talk to Greenman?

😁😛

I mean it's kind of funny to watch the fascist dance and refuse to speak against Glorious Leader.

It's a right vs wrong thing. You chose your side.
I don't know what thing your talking about, so I don't know where my opinion falls.
Just an fyi, I don't see mtnman's posts, so the point your making has no relevance. It's also well of topic from the question I asked.

maybe you should respond to conversations that you run away from.

you will probably not the the callouts then.

It is remarkable how angry or offended he is that people disagree with him on a discussion board.

Yes, when he ends up in an uncomfortable place he shuts down and runs away instead of re-evaluating his position. I’m pretty sure he blocked me because I wouldn’t let him run away from it.

This is the big snowflake move by people on the right. When they get corned with their own lies they cry others are stifling their speech or they just pick up their toys and leave without answering.

My best example one of our resident Trump boot lickers said Neera Tanden committed corruption. I asked what exactly did she do that was corrupt? I re asked over and over but got nothing but crickets until they finally said "I don't have to answer to you"

They are so dishonest they can't keep their lies straight.

Generally I post my opinion and leave it at that. It's not like I'm going to present an argument that will change anyone's mind.
