Historian here exactly. The Dems need to learn from the no quarters given political tactics and campaigns of the Republicans in the 1850s and 1860s when they managed to upend half a century slaveholder dominance of the federal government.

Sorry to be overly sincere for a second, but here's why we decided to persevere through all of the bullshit and take over InfoWars. There's just gotta be a line somewhere. Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.

I will donate, phone bank, and knock on doors for any Democrat who promises to do everything to the Republicans in power that they’re doing to innocent people. Not talk about the price of milk. Not talk about norms. Just want a promise that the these motherfuckers will rot.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

I just figured out the meaning of these FJB stickers. Thanks @washingtonpost.com !!

This John Oliver video on the many ways Trump and his allies are trying to stop people from voting is worth your time. Especially the end as it offers ways to make sure that doesn't happen to you. Please vote. Stop Trump. youtu.be/CkK3W0lOKcc?...
