    This is a wild thread. Kamala understands decorum and professionalism.

    Politics without is just a fuckin’ schoolyard fistfight, and we’ve had too much of that.

    Democracy is about being able to have differences in opinion but still be neighbors.

      The professional and appropriate response was to say nothing, not blow smoke up people’s ass.

      Harris is just part of the same political machine as all the other old men.

        No, it’s an educated take. Anything else is probably not an environment you want to live in unless you find yourself inside the privilege party.

        Humans will always have vast differences in opinion, that’s the whole point of the USA.

          Cheney being a war criminal isn’t a matter of opinion. Same goes for human rights.

          I hope one day you get to be on the receiving end of some of the “differences of opinion” Cheney held. (Not really, no one deserves the things he did to millions of people)

      No, we haven’t actually. What we’ve had too much of is the bullies pushing around the brown kid because he looks different (which in this analogy of course refers to the mass slaughter of civilians), with one of the two bullies occasionally showing some sign of reluctance or concern that they might get in trouble for it, and then caving and appeasing the other bully when they make fun of them for it.

      What “fistfights” are you even talking about? When have the democrats ever actually (metaphorically) thrown hands, or not bent over backwards to appease the republicans, even to the point of going after minorities? The shutdown is the first time I can remember in the past 20 years that they actually showed an ounce of spine.

      I would love to start seeing some political fistfights instead of having this “harmony” or “cooperation” between the two bullies.

      We are in a fist fight and Democrats want to get our faces kicked in with decorum and professionalism.

      War crimes and murder are business as usual in the US. The sad thing is that he died without seeing the inside of a cell.

      I don’t want to be neighbors with war criminals. The reason we are where we are today is because of collaborators like Harris white-washing the crimes of terrorists like Cheney.

      all she had to say was “condolences to the family”… instead of lifting him up like he was some sort of good thing for society. He was a war criminal. Should’ve been tried in The Hague and should’ve rotted in jail.
