hey dear Flav, even though

hey dear Flav, even though you may have sadly left us never to return, I wanted to leave this on this blog entry of yours for the record, that we've got ourself a presidential candidate that agrees with your message:

The message is simple: Joe Biden likes you. He likes you even if you don’t like him.

If that sounds trite, consider the contrast it offers to the reality we live in, and the politics President Trump practices. https://t.co/8II1Kln2ID

(And also for the record, I like to note that in a later blog entry of yours, I believe you did the "Go home!" message before Keisha Lance Bottoms did.)

As a union organizer, I organized 100s of homophobic workers, some who didn’t believe in my existence

Why? Bc the nonhomophobic workers needed a majoritity to win a union & the workers being in a progressive union was a better way to combat homophobia than me not organizing them

This’ll get me ratio’d or whatever but a lot of Twitter seems to want to enforce a politics where you only work or ally with people you agree almost totally with. but to get anything done in our system requires working with people you often disagree with.

This tweet reminded me that it's always good to keep in mind that there is a difference between cultural conservatism and economic conservatism (and that frankly, Trump has exploited that, he's basically helped the Pat Buchanan wing of the GOP to take over the party):

To be specific, I am including attitudes regarding racial and gender inequality under 'cultural' conservatism; I ran out of characters in the original tweet. https://t.co/s2Hwf6fSBi

(To the point where many Never Trumpers were formally known as globalist Neo-Conservatives.with much invested in American exceptionialism and democracy promotion.)

Proust said M. DeNorpois' (probably misspelled) preference for company at a reception would be a Radical in a similar position rather than another Conservative.

In the 80's a former Republican campaign manager - known for character assassination - died slowly. His most frequent visitor, his former Democrat opposite number

Thought of this thread again when I saw this:

That's it's simply not unusual to do what you are advocating here, Flav. It's actually more of the norm. People don't scream and hate at each other because of political goals except on the internet. All "Hollywood" type liberals actually don't shrink away in horror at the phrase "pray for the troops" (who are not all war criminals and psychopaths) but are sympathetic, and white guys sing with young black guys while they work amicably with them, may even share foxholes and consider each other brothers.

it's faux drama to continually claim otherwise actually, as if everyone is always angry with and hates the other, it's kabuki for the internet and agitprop.

Reasons the left complains it doesn't hold power in the west: money in politics, biased media, first past the post electoral system. All fair enough complaints.

But real reason: they only talk to themselves and can't culturally connect offline

Another "In the car" fable. Make love, not war:

Only cultured Iranians could have produced such a powerful video. Iranian short film (just over 1 min) that won an award at the Luxor Film Festival. The film maker is only 20 years old. pic.twitter.com/cWkspBjQUy

The Market of Ideas can't resemble the old East European shops with 1 limited item spread across a whole shelf.
