Bono's insightful there, but then he references Picketty. Barf.
It’s okay. This is not college - you can spike the football in the end zone.Yes, this is a bit of a "validate Deez" article, but it illustrates my point about the media bias starting to not be an advantage for Democrats. It's leading to major miscalculations.
He sounds like the Khmer Rouge saying yes, we needed to kill anyone who wore glasses, but lamenting how it ultimately resulted in them losing power.He's right in his conclusion, but he didn't have the balls to say any of this when it mattered, so it's pretty meaningless now. Furthermore, his reasoning is crap, and he has no moral authority. Consider this paragraph.
"The motive for many progressives to follow these stifling conventions was sympathetic. If you believe systemic racism and inequality are the greatest crisis in America, which I do, and you also believe the racism of the Republican Party is far more dangerous than any excesses on the left, which I also do, then you might hesitate to admit to anything that might be used by Republicans to discredit the cause of racial justice. Yet that hesitation allows the most unreasonable people on the left to rope the whole progressive movement into indefensible and self-discrediting positions."
He laments the problem, but in the second sentence, he basically lays the predicate for morally and ethnically justifying what progressives did. In fact, he states that he agrees with it. Well, if you think the GOP is massively racist and that it's more dangerous than any excess of the Left, then what they did is not only defensible but a moral imperative.
However, the last sentence makes clear his real issue. He doesn't have a real problem with what they did. He just doesn't like that it puts progressives in a position to look stupid.
It becomes a lot more clear when you realize the media went from being comprised of mostly adults to vindictive teenage girls.His lsst sentence doubting anything will change is sad.

It was apparently forgotten during the Russian collusion years.I think we all knew this was the case, but damn.... Thank you for posting this LC. Great clip. May be the best I've seen

What really happened that night at PulseArticle is based on a lie. The shooter didn’t know Pulse bar was a gay bar.
I’m a Pulse survivor. Rightwing anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric made the Club Q massacre inevitable
Need to sue them like they did to Alex Jones :
