Revolutionaries always eat their own. It is impossible to keep up with purity demands of the contemporary movement fauxgressivism.

Everything! Saikat Chakrabarti is currently running for Congress for CA-11 district, trying to unseat his fellow Democrat Nancy Pelosi. Commenting of what a congressional candidate said is very much on-topic in this thread. You bitching about me not talking about what happened in the 1990s or...

How do you figure? RFK Jr. was a crazy anti-vaxxer long before he became allied with Trump. He was already a kook while he had his own radio show on "progressive" Air America Radio, and when he was on the short list for EPA director under Obama.

A different bus driver.

I misconstrued nothing. From your reply: How else am I supposed to read this other than an attempt to exonerate the BPP? You are the one misconstruing. Presumably because you were eager to get your jabs in that you did not bother to read the context. This is what I was replying to: So, as...

While the bus driver's regime is horrible, starting a war against the Tehran regime would make more sense because of the still present danger of them developing nuclear weapons.

So if you are slightly tired or frustrated after work, it's ok for nanny state to brick your car? Impairment is not a binary switch, but a continuum. Most people on the road are not perfectly rested, especially after work. People should not be barred from driving their car even if they are not...

Newly elected deputy leader of the UK Greens defended the 10/7 attacks. Councillor who hailed ‘end of white settler colonialism’ on October 7 elected Green deputy leader

Who is "working harder to get less" here? It is whites and Asians who have to work harder to have the same chance at admission for example.

Did you? And if so, did you find anything that contradicts what I got from the CBS article and Saez' wiki page?

I wonder if they then also assign Amazon's corporate income to Bezos, not just his actual income. From the OP article: "Inequality experts" is already sus when it comes to bias. Ah, I was right! At the same time, according to his wiki page, Saez does not count any government benefits as...

Electric cars are still a small fraction of all cars on the road. And we should encourage their proliferation, and not hamstring them by piling new taxes. That is is counterproductive to their widespread adoption, and to reducing carbon emissions. Unfortunately, that is exactly what Democrat-run...
