So... We need to start calling Trump supporters slurs?
Jokes on you, I've been calling them retarded for years.

they don't want to, cause they are just controlled opposition
I don't know what "going low" means, but if we discard our morals and dehumanize our opponents to get into power, that's still a fascist regime in power.
I do agree that we need candidates that will wield political power to favor the working class and reduce marginalization. Depending on where you are check out Working Families Party or Sunrise Movement.
I disagree with Ironsides overall callout, but there is room for us to get a little more rowdy.
The democrats are trying hard to appeal to the republican base and give them things they want, to the detriment of their own base. They're trying to play both sides. We need to be shouting, calling out all this stupid shit and if media won't give us attention, they need to take to platforms that will help spread the word. We need clear communication and a concise, reasonably progressive agenda broadcast to the people, we need to call out Faux news on their bullshit and try to shoot straight to the people.

Nothing sounds weaker than tiptoeing around the phrase”grow some balls.”
All things being equal, "grow some balls" is a gendered statement. It implies you need "balls" to be strong or able to form coherent arguments or defend yourself.
I can see why someone would intentionally use an alternate phrase.
It's because they don't want to stop insider trading and taking these bribes they are even taking these political assassinations seriously
It’s worse than that. They’re all insider trading stocks on all sorts of industries that they directly regulate and have every incentive to weaken, corrode, rip-off, and kill you including weapons manufacturers and defense contractors. Both parties are literally financing and directly benefiting from our rapid decline in the best case and complete obliteration in the worst.
This is literally what the GOP has been working towards for 40 years and dems are all like "Whelp! Yep they're corrupt and trampling the constitution but what can we do? Please send money"
"Just one more peaceful protest bro. I swear bro"
Insert that one guy who insists on a 3.5% of the population peaceful protest
It's hard to stand for any principles when you're bought and paid for by the very people who are currently riding their insanity bus with trump.
The Democrats are the lesser of the two evils. They are more subtle about not really helping the lower-class and fixing the insane amount of poverty in the USA.
That subtle stuff has been bothering me. Like, I don't agree with any policies from the Republicans but at least they just tell me to go fuck myself and dont pretend that they really do care
People assume the Democratic party don't know what they are doing. They know precisely what they are doing by feigning they don't know what they are doing.
The oligarchs really have both parties, and the country in its entirety as a result, by the balls. That is why it is crucial to realise to also protest against oligarchy alongside "No Kings" protest. Trump is only the front and fall guy, it is the oligarchs who are truly in power.
The oligarchs really have both parties,
I made this meme a while ago:
I am increasingly worried that the Democrat/Republican divide, or the US democracy in general, is mostly a "divide and conquer" scheme. It makes people believe they can choose their country's path, but actually, both parties agree on essential questions of economics, such as that there are practically no taxes on the rich, that there's weak social safety nets, and such.
The differences between the parties are only in the culture, or as i say, in the sexuality, which should be a private issue overall, and it makes for an excellent distraction from economic issues.
The only thing that politics actually should care about is the socio-economic situation, i.e. how much resources do people have to live.
The differences we should be focusing on are between the owners and the owned. The left/right bullshit is just to keep the plebs infighting.

Don’t have to go low to tell the fucking truth and call it as it is. They just need to stop pandering and open their fucking mouths.
Low isn't required, but not being a giant pussy is, and, by extension, knowing the difference.
