Previous incarnations of Cleveland/P&C/D&D have had an image thread, to handle political cartoons and other image-based stuff that doesn't belong in the general post-a-picture threads.
If any of them spawn an extended discussion, please spawn it off into its own thread. Replies to non-picture replies should take the form of a link pointing to a post on a different discussion thread.
And I shouldn't have to say it, but the images still need to abide by the rules.
Leopards. Faces. You know the drill.
I am not sure that is leopards/faces, as it is a rule in almost every major stadium or arena out there, no matter the event.
Here's an archaic word that needs to make a comeback:
Totally works. Even the original old French meaning.
At leats she was an adult woman at the time. Why hide it?
If they believe that it was a nazi salute, then by continuing to use Twitter they are literally directly supporting a nazi. You know what people who support nazis are called? Nazis.
I've been encouraging people who don't see a problem with his gesture to do the same gesture at work or out in public.
Haven't been getting any takers so far.

Monday is Holocaust Remembrance Day. The perfect day to try out that awkward gesture if it's really not a Nazi salute.
That feels more ominous than inspiring with the way things are going.
I, for one, would watch this movie in which AOC goes full Bruce Lee on some nazis in tunnels.

Just missing the heroic men who will intervene but turn out to have a horrible history of misogyny and or sexual abuse.
They're in the last group. They intervene when its other men to cultivate a public persona as a "heroic man" in order to give themselves cover and muddy the waters if they're ever caught.
No. No she won't. If she meant these words she would already be six feet in the ground or behind bars by now.
Can you keep these musings to your other thread? Thanks.

~mod edit~ AoC and her co workers in the House and in national government are most of the reason why we have fascists in the White House. Saying she will be "six feet in the ground" before she stops fighting fascists is laughable.
AoC won't put her life on the line, because from where I'm standing she's not even willing to risk her place on a committee.
Unless there's something huge I'm missing?

Your unmoderated and conversation-killing froth is causing me to contemplate abandoning this forum, like so many before me. You may be my final straw. Congrats.
Yeah this is the time we need to be organizing and radicalizing people, impotent rage is pretty offputting to most and counterproductive to those goals.
Focus that energy into something useful. You still live on the west side? I think Portland Mutual Aid Network still does work over there every week.

You're probably missing that you're still embarrassingly ignorant of who AoC is, just like you were the last time you tried lumping her in with centrist Dems.

Say what you want about me but our moderators are wonderful. If you feel like an aspect of my posting should be moderated, feel free to reach out above and report my post, or seeing as you seem to have a particular issue with me, I would be happy to entertain a private message as to why you find what I say particularly objectionable.

New York or representative, elected by the DSA. Part of a shrinking caucus. Used to advocate for a lot of progressive things before she found herself locked out by the establishment Dems when it came time to selection to sit on committees. Moderated herself and started working more closely with "Mama Bear" Nancy Pelosi, even refusing to bring certain bills (Green New Deal, Medicare for All) to a vote because Pelosi told her to.
I tuned out after that.
Am I missing anything?

This is a time of great stress and uncertainty for those living in the US as well as those of us US-adjacent or who have friends in the US. Everyone deals with the stress and uncertainty differently, but attacking another person is not acceptable on this site.
Everyone is coming from a different background, with different lived experiences as different lenses through which they are seeing things. Your point of view does not mean that someone else's point of view is wrong and vice versa. ("Your" in the previous sentence is used in the general sense, not the specific sense).
Vigorous and fulsome debates, no matter how rough and tumble, are a vital part of understanding each other. But it must always be done with one important rule in mind:
Attack the position, not the poster.
I am jumping into what appears to be an active discussion, so I expect anyone who quotes the text that was removed above to remove it from their quote.

Maybe I need to dial back and be quiet for a bit. I'm making people uncomfortable, I was aware that certain things I said caused conversation to end, which was not appropriate on my behalf. I never intended to be the reason why anyone would consider leaving this site.
I honestly have it better then most.
Am I missing anything?
Yeah, lots. Your summary of her is laughably wrong, too.
I can't speak for Sally but that's one of the more annoying things you do. You've got this special combination of rage and ignorance that causes you to rant vehemently about things and situations that aren't even true. Like you're just looking for an excuse to be outraged and don't even care if it's over something valid.
You can speak for me, Stengah.
