This shit is truly embarrassing and pathetic. Way I see it anything that degrades bourgeois democracy works in our favor. We ain't gotta do much but stand there & point. So far... I strongly suspect that we ain't seen nothing yet. The nekked emperor, the clay feet of the great god Mars, perhaps a c...

The good part of this analysis is that we should engage with these liberals/progressives, despite the aggravation we will suffer and perhaps tone down our sharp edge a little(I should talk...). Benefit of the doubt & all that. For what it's worth. I don't really see much advantage but ya never know...
