We are still in this together, but "this" is going to be real different in the very near future. This demands a different kind of "we."

The French Resistance during Nazi occupation played important roles delivering downed Allied airmen back to safety, supplying military intelligence, and acts of sabotage.

The Underground Railroad is estimated to have brought 100,000 freedom seekers to safety between 1810 and 1850.

It's time.

The Comfort of False Equivalence
There’s a seductive kind of cowardice masquerading as wisdom in modern discourse: the insistence that all extremes are created equal. It’s what allows the centrist to shrug and say, “Well, both sides are dangerous,” as though morality and method exist on a balanced scale, and history is simply a record of shared mistakes. For MAGA, this rhetorical laziness isn’t just useful. It’s strategic.

There's more about being left than economic left honey.

I really don't think there is. Especially when you remember that a liberal will literally sacrifice every other ideal because of economics. It's been that way the entirety of our country's history. Great liberal thinkers like Madison and Jefferson, speak of freedom and equality, how long did that last though? Did it last through the question of their economic well-being being threatened? Did they free the slaves? No. Ever it was for liberals, and ever it will be.

So you're a class reductionist. Fuck the minorities and people who are suffering right now because they'll all be fine when the"revolution" comes? Because that has always worked out in the past. Lmao you guys are so up your ass.
