I think identity politics is one area where the both sides argument has merit. The main driving force of the current GOP is the cultural war. Where I see a difference is that the left is woke progressives on Twitter while the GOP is the POTUS and the party base of rural, white, uneducated people.

Those are just the factions of each party making the most noise, and garnering the most attention imo
They (the squad) don't have the votes within the party to take power. At least at this point. I mean, Nancy Pelosi is the speaker and while some might believe she is a socialist she is miles away from AOC or Bernie. Based on the pickups by the Republicans in the House during the most recent election it's doubtful the squad is going to be able to do much besides be twitter heroes and make a lot of noise.
I disagree. Trump is the leader of this cultural war and he’s the damn President. Plus, his base is all in on it too. It’s not a faction of the current GOP.
Vast majority of pubs I know, as in all of them, care about personal finances and economics. They think woke shit is annoying but would vote for aoc if she promised low taxes and Dereg. I certainly could be wrong but those folks don’t make for interesting 5:00 news so we get the louder fringe being portrayed as the base. I think the media is as culpable as anything in our divide
Here’s the point, that fringe on the GOP side nominated Trump. Twice. The fringe on the left was beaten and the Ds nominated a moderate candidate. Like we’ve discussed, I don’t think the current GOP is a monolith and many don’t care as long as they have low taxes. However, Trumps base, about 33%, run on a cultural war and grievance. It’s much more central to the GOP than the Ds right now.
To slightly disagree with you, Hitler was elected. Mussolini was elected. I am pretty sure Hugo Chavez was elected in Venezuela. Our homeowner's association once elected a dictator.
AOC gets too much media access for Nancy to take on that fight. Besides, Nancy has her own moderate wing problems. And Schumer is a chump.
Perhaps, but if their creed interferes with my business, they're not getting hired or retaining the job.
I am not like AOC and others in terms of degrading anyone due to their association with Trump. I question people who support dishonest and unethical behavior. It has nothing to do with Trump. It could be anyone. It happens to be Trump in this context. However, it's revealing of who they are and their values. That matters.
I never used words like Trumpkin or the oft used Trumptard. The pig odor reference was a metaphor. Do you understand metaphors?
If your association with a client caused you to do unethical or dishonest things, then you'll be tainted. You'll likely now tell me you didn't and wouldn't operate in such a fashion. CONGRATS!! However, some to many did while working for Trump. That's the risk of working for someone who puts their underlings in that position. No different than being a college assistant coach who works for a cheater.
I don't care what she did or didn't qualify. Outside of small political circles, it will amount to nothing. They will find other priorities. They will move on. And as I said earlier, the ones with considerable talent will be able to rise above it regardless.
Get your panties out of a wad.
Dumb. Some people want to serve their country, unfair to assume they’re all dirtbags. It is virtue signaling. Hilarious watch the party of inclusion go about the “healing process”.
My “association” with a client can never cause me to do unethical or dishonest things. That’s always on me. Similarly, being part of the Trump administration is neither unethical nor dishonest no matter how much he lies about payoffs to porn stars. Doing work that needs to be done about dealing with covid is not unethical or dishonest even if Trump is lying about the severity of it. You are defending guilt by association in its worst form. Own it.
Agree in part but it’s a shame when you see the guilt by association stuff.
A lawyer can be unethical and dishonest when representing a highly ethical client and another lawyer can be highly ethical snd honest representing Bernie Madoff. Most people get this. But when Trump is involved millions of people lose their minds. Good lawyers and good firms are being excoriated for representing Trump. Trump hasn’t caused the divisions and incivility, he has exposed what has always been there.
There you go!!!!! Everyone needs to read this. My friend’s son did nothing but work for Tillerson and Sanders. In the campaign he did a job. He’s a find young man who supported President Obama.
I voted for Trump because I agreed with more of his policies than Biden. I don’t agree many of his tweets and other behavior.
The party of tolerance doesn’t seem to allow this. You must be slimed and ostracized forever.
Plus 100%. And your wasting your breath. But we seem to keep think we can talk to these people. They want total submission.
My old firm represented the bin ladens for years. They were wonderful clients. Contributing greatly to central and south fla. hadn’t had anything to do with osama in decades. What were we supposed to do? Turn away their biz because they shared an awful sir name?
Don’t worry. Their posting history will be reflected in their rankings. It’s time we sort these people out vis-a-vis the wc.
So, is your friend's son okay? Has anything happened yet? Or are your panties in your crack over what propaganda sources are telling you might happen, while you continue to ignore what is actually happening?
lol. I had a crack in my foundation but luckily a man with a jackhammer came a long to further expose it.
You're expecting stoll and COH to deal with reality instead of their fevered dreams. That's a heavy lift.
I guess they’re gone. I’ll rest. 😂
Leftists Back Down on Plans to Blacklist Trump Backers
The Trump Accountability Project, which targets Trump supporters, has announced that it is "no longer active."

I'm sorry, were you complaining about being slimed? I was out destroying America, so I was kind of distracted.
Keeping a list of "these people" so that you don't have to talk with them, huh?
Snipe. Again. I don’t see a path to your being ranked this Monday. Just being honest.I'm sorry, were you complaining about being slimed? I was out destroying America, so I was kind of distracted.

It's really hard when it's such a target-rich environment.
Don't know how I'm going to get through the weekend with this news.
Maybe I'll head to the beach.
have you even perused trump's twitter account?
Trump hasn't caused division and incivility? Trump is the definition of uncivil. Rude and bully are other words that best describe him.

I don’t keep a list of anyone to harm. I tell them what I think and move on. If you want what Bernie, AOC and the squad want, then I think you want to destroy American as we’ve known it. If that offends you like Goat, you can call me a ****ing asshole too.
Jesus Christ, man, do you not understand that the Democratic Party repudiated Bernie and the far left crowd by nominating -- and then electing -- Joe Biden? They are not a threat. You are frightened of bogeymen that the Fox and Breitbart and Facebook scare machines have conjured up.
Well, actually it was BIG Media/Banking/Pharma/Illuminati/Knight's Templar/Rotarians/DNC/RNC who repudiated Bernie, but you're close enough.
I'll be damned. I never would have guessed you were winners' sock.
It feels almost intentional at this pointYou must have missed some of my previous posts.
I'll save mcm the time...SNIPE.
What the fvck does it matter? What would have happened if I woke up this morning with a full head of hair?
No.
No. Trumps influence ends where your mind begins. One’s division and incivility comes from between their ears.
Keep this in mind the next time you post about the incivility in the Cooler.
No, I wasn't talking about Trump's influence. I was talking about him being an asshole, which is true regardless of anyone else. And sadly, millions of people seem to have their heads up his ass so he has quite a bit of influence.
