His shame...
We have lost shame in our politics. Anyone who admits to faults, owns up to them, and expresses shame for past transgressions is a good person.
I want more people like him who feel it's better to publically own up to his shortcommings rather than unabashedly double down like we've seen from both the Dems and GOP in the last 25 years.
We cannot continue without remorse. We cannot heal without forgiveness. We cannot save ourselves so divided.
No show me where he said "I regret going to the middle east to kill brown people"
Sure, but the guy pretended he didn't know it was offensive or alt right. Sorry, disengenousness gets you nowhere.
He's still doing a hell of a lot more to atone and, again, not shy away from his past than any neoliberal I've seen to date. If we push away everyone without a perfect social rap, we're going to be so fucking outnumbered when the time comes.
Yes, but guys like Planter are not better than neoliberals; they are still liberals, the same liberals that will support genocide if it gets you healthcare, that is, if you're straight and white.
What are you talking about about?! The same Democrats that made same sex marriage legal? The same Democrats that fought for diversity now only support straight white people while the humble Republicans are out there supporting everyone so diligently, eh?! Lunatic. At least you've got Donald Dump fighting so hard for his American people by making it more expensive to live and removing healthcare from those who need it the most. Taking food out of the mouths of starving babies and the like. So virtuous. Gimme a break!
Fuck the Republicans, but this is revisionist. Supreme Court made same sex marriage legal, not “the same democrats”. Civil rights acts of 1964 had more democrats voting against it (in number and ratio) than republicans.
That's revionist. How's been fighting to take them down for the past 3 decades? Who has been fighting to expand them? Lincoln was a Republican, and he's spinning in his grave so fast right now he could be generating electricity.
