96. Not for me

Parallels between who is accused of being pro-genocide and who is pragmatic. Same shit, different outrage.

This Trump Admin is different.

The 92% - including myself - are not coming to anyone's rescue... But ourselves.

I start from here:
This Regime does not end with a political solution.
After the Regime is toppled - that's when things get REALLY bad.

Anyone who denies us full humanity (5 Fifths), or whines about minority states (Wyoming) not having a seat at the table, needs to get the Malcolm X treatment from Us. This country can get back in our good graces by caving to these two demands.

I posit this - Cuomo is proving Black women right about AmeriKKKa- and that is a very uncomfortable truth.

WHY does our smirking make one uncomfortable?

Cuomo has SWAGGER and toughness about him that is appealing Wanderlust988 Jun 20 #24

Bass is not weak. Cuomo can get away with being that way becsuse he is a white man JI7 Jun 20 #26

Sadly, I think "toughness" -- even if just optics -- is important dealing with trump. Think Bass did fine, though. Silent Type Jun 20 #30

with ranked choice, there is a shot that Cuomo could be knocked out before the final round. Not a great chance, but Celerity Jun 21 #83
