Anyone who reads the National Review likely doesn't care, but I'm glad to see calls for "decorum" levelled against the right for a change.

Discretion? From the whale carcass anti-vax guy?

Sigh...

And now his home province is one of the hotbeds of rural reactionary populism

Do you think that if they did, they'd care?

This is just another example of Ford's retail politics.

From the guy who brought you "buck a beer" and handing out twenties when he was running for CPC leader.

"Blurs the line?"

Ok, let's try an experiment: "Hitler blurs the line on Jews, Romani and actual criminals ".

How does that read, Mr Journalist?

Fuck these false-objectivity, milquetoast, water-carrying fascist apologists.

You can also vote the Democratic primaries, too.

That worked out, suprisingly well, for Sanders. Think about how much change you could affect voting for Sanderses at every level.

This is how the Tea Party and MAGA co-opted the Republicans, and it's the model progressives should use to move the needle in the Democratic party (and they have, with some success).

If progressives want to see change, progressives need to vote. In every election. General or primary.

There's a political concept south of the border called IOKIYAR (It's okay if you are a Republican).

The same is at play here: Corruption and nepotism? It's okay if you're a conservative. Wasting public funds? Okay if you're a conservative? Drawing a pension? Being a shameless hypocrite? You get the idea.

Can you quantify why you don't like Mozilla?

I understand why someone might find Firefox itself subpar in some cases, but I'd like to hear what your issues with the organization are.

Well, ackshually, Linux is just a kernel... /s

Maybe, just maybe, liberal democracies need to do a better job solving problems for constituents and less time fellating billionaires.

That might help.

I mean, when I see a right-wing populist telling me they can fix all my problems, I know they're a lying, opportunistic piece of shit, but I can also see the appeal because at least they're saying that there's problems and that they'll do something, which is more than milquetoast centrists will do.
