(7,663 posts)coverage, they will find the 1 or 2 paid tool "scientists" who defy the existence of climate change and give them equal time with real climate change scientists who represent the views of 99.99% of scientists -- they do this without directly saying that people should not believe the fact-based science presented by climate change scientists.

(11,262 posts)Letter from Birmingham Jail (ext)
By Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., 16 April 1963
"First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season."

(748 posts)Lots of dickheads saying things like "I don't support any extreme groups: not the KKK or BLM"
As if Black Lives Matter is somehow equivalent to the damned Klan.

(26,656 posts)Was lack of any compromise was why we got trump. You trashed the thread but the thread is about compromise with the KKK. I figured you were referring to NO compromise. So guess I misunderstood why you think this thread should be deleted and why you think we got trump.

Their positions are, by definition, odious, immoral and unacceptable in modern society.
And to the people who are trying their best to make these positions, this racism, homophobia, xenophobia, intolerance and lynching mentality acceptable here in America, or for that matter anywhere else, I have a big Fuck You.
Trump and his racists might want this nation to become an oligarchical theocracy (fascist) state, but WE'RE NOT DOING THAT.

(22,976 posts)Have Republicans grabbed so much power in all three branches of federal government, and in some 30+ states top-to-bottom, by compromising? By being "nice guys"? By extending a hand to those in need? Fucking-hell-NO.
It's time to push things leftward (and it's insane that these issues are now considered "lefty" : Get to work on climate change, repair Obamacare with an eye toward eventual Medicare for all, get $$$$$$$$$$$ out of politics, get corruption and "business" out of government, abolish ICE and get those children HOME, on and on the list goes.
And a lot of shitty people had a big laugh at Al Gore's "lockbox" idea for Social Security and Medicare, but a lockbox is now desperately needed.
