I know that the Rules of the Road were established, in hopes of making this a place for civilized political discussion. Except I have a question…
When Daily Kos publishes articles on a near-hourly basis to declare that every problem that America's ever had is because of Republicans and/or whites... why do we have to handle them with kid gloves in the comments? Republicans are the enemy of America, whether they're politicians or voters. The very foundation of social justice declares that all whites are born complicit in every atrocity that gave the whites power and privilege.
So since these are the enemies that must be conquered to start to make America worthwhile, then we shouldn't give aid and comfort to the enemy by treating them like people.
Yes, I had tried to argue before that there were Blue voters in red states so at least they were worth sparing the red states. But Daily Kos has taught me that I was wrong to ever think like that. This is my apology and the beginning of my atonement.
(And yes I know that since I was born white and in a red state, I am condemning myself with these words. So be it.)
