gasp

Where's your tolerance?! I thought progressives were nice!

[–] bss03@infosec.pub 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Tolerance doesn't mean someone can't be mean to you. It means they give you the same rights they expect you to give them.

This includes the right to say "get fucked" to others and to disassociate from people that are likely to say "get fucked" to you.

Some of us are just doing all we can to avoid spilling blood.

You can't win office without Independent votes.

Anyone that you want to elect must get Independent votes, they are 40% of the voters (Ds & Rs 30% each).

When I need help, I don't tell the potential aid to fuck off, but what do I know? Let's see how "fuck off" inspires the electorate.

This assumes independents are centrists...
