Class solidarity is exactly what we need, and if billionaires and multimillionaires break rank to join us, we most certainly can welcome them, with caution of course.

A liberal who realized something was wrong is something a lot of leftists once were. Accepting him should come from a place of empathy.

Absolutely. I feel empathy for the United CEOs family, while also recognizing they are going to be financially fine. They also have a chance to reflect on any grief and how affected families may not be sympathetic for valid reasons. Whether they do or not depends on whether they value healing, or greed/retribution.

I don’t. They benefited from it, same as him. Were happy to do so. They are nearly as demented as him.

Can confirm, gave up on the whole “Democracy will repair itself” thing after the election.

Call me naive, but I really had hope the majority of Americans would at minimum be willing to vote against a rapist/insurrectionist/fraud

Comparing to russian opposition, it surprises me that “democracy will repair itself” is popular. It was understood somewhere in 2013 by nationalists, “right” and “left”. “Democracy is a muscle, that needs to be excercised regularly” as Ekaterina Shulman (recently) said.
