See, there's the problem....the nano-second someone criticizes the other political party, they're demonized. Forget the content of the critique, whether it be accurate, true or not. Just go after them, and if you can't totally discredit the content, damn them with feint praise.
And I'm REALLY fucking tired of everyone using the "woke" excuse for their diatribes. I dismissed the origin as just another cutesy phrase used by some wanna-be activist or author to gain attention ... who knew that the rabid right wing would co-opt it as a "boogey man" phrase for everything they're against.
Oh well, stupid is as stupid does. Just don't get caught up in the hype.

You're putting up a strawman, misrepresenting my intent, friend. I'm not "demonizing" anyone. I'm saying it's important, when elections are coming up to be on the same page. The Republicans never have any problem spewing false and misleading talking points... all the dems have to do is not be a circular firing sqaud.
Understand now?
No strawman, but easily recognizable fact. You used words and terminology that have been co-opted by the MAGA minions for negative and disparaging connotations. That is why I cautioned you not to "get caught up in the hype".
Your clarification is a satisfactory, if not slightly detouring from your original assertion. Capice'?

Okay, now you've gone off the deep end. Anyone who has read my posts/threads over the years knows that I'm anything BUT a conservative/Republcan/necocon/teabagger/fibbertarian/maga minion. Hell, some have accused me of being left of progressives! Seems that when taken to task for what YOU write, you come unhinged. Sorry toodles, but if you can't take a little criticism, you're in the wrong forum.
I don't waste time of fools. Adios.

Anyway. The Dems need to get on the same page. I felt if you disagreed, you were a Republican. Turns out your political instincts just suck.
Sorry for the misunderstanding, champ. I've only been here a few weeks, and not contiguously.. so I need to learn the personalities here.
Well, since I don't a LOT of time going through every blessed poster and topic (and I have a fair amount of the fringe right wingers on ignore), I have no way to verify what you say.
Be that as it may, if you had read the OP carefully, you would have noted that I don't lock step agree with Maher on a lot of subjects. And again, anyone familiar with my posts & threads no that I anything but a right winger. If you chose to believe otherwise because of the OP, that's your problem.
This is why I'm a registered Independent voter....I can't stand the "lemmings to the cliff" attitude that you now display.
