Fight in that thread with Luminous.

joshcryer
(62,276 posts)I've been on "mental lists" before. It's just strange how sensitive we have to be when it comes to our enemies, it's a sort of liberal "turn the cheek" type thing that is total bullshit.
ScreamingMeemie
(68,918 posts)But, when I have an issue with a poster, I kind of like to bring it up with them in that thread.
I guess what I'm saying is that I have seen these types of posts (not necessarily yours, but the one you responded to) lead to swarms of mean-spirited behavior.
Like I said, I find the whole thing rather funny and figure he cashed his 2016 attempt at the Presidency for a sip of water.
Luminous Animal
(27,310 posts)a while ago expressing such. And tonight, I thanked you for putting the clip into perspective. My computer doesn't allow loading the entire video and you helped me understand why the Rubio clip was important.
For what it is worth, I've never perceived Republicans as being the enemy. I won't turn the other cheek and I will engage anyone directly. I perceive any Republican as a potential Democratic.
joshcryer
(62,276 posts)Even if it wasn't as funny as it most obviously was (when you get a better connection you'll see, it's dang hilarious, social media isn't overdoing this one), I still wouldn't be too perturbed by making fun of it. I think they're the enemy. We can't show them respect that they most certainly won't show us. If a Dem made this faux pas they'd be all over it as some of us are. But 10x as much. And they'd find a way to make something nasty out of it. For us it's all good fun at least.
I think Dems need to be more partisan and need to call the Republicans out on their shit, and non-stop, just keep at it, and at it. I think that while I defend the President's center-right bi-partisanship, it's only because he's always said that's what he wanted to do. It's not because I like it! It's because he's consistent. That's all. I find it shitty politics to be sure. I think his talk on climate change was, for instance, some of the most depressing shit ever. He basically said business as usual if you read between the lines ("market based solution to climate change," expanding natural gas, which as the EIA shows, is going to be shale gas, which requires fracking). The drone shit was even worse because it was disguised even more, with code words like "increased capability."
Luminous Animal
(27,310 posts)but I am also a committed activist. For me, Nixon sweating, Dukakis in a tank, Kerry surfboarding, Rubio drinking water is reality show entertainment. I don't care that Rubio looked the fool. And they are already spinning that to his advantage - Next Up On SNL! And we will look the fools for mocking the surface instead of criticizing the content,
As a lifelong committed activist I know that no one is my foe but rather they are a potential ally.
Keep me on your "mental list" Josh if you think it benefits you, DU, and the Democratic party. I'll just keep on keepin' on.
joshcryer
(62,276 posts)They just show up on the list because they tend to have recognizable nicknames in controversial threads over issues that aren't priorities for me or seem like silly distractions bundled with hypocrisy. I agree about the issues in question, almost across the board (though my position is almost always distorted). But I need evidence based commentary.
