What rights has Ben Shapiro taken away? And before you say that you’re talking about the people he supports, you called Ben the perpetrator.

Next, please list the rights you’re talking about. And when you do, keep in mind that I’m a liberal lawyer on Bluesky, not some RW mouthpiece.

“Talking to each other about our disagreements isn’t something we should be doing in grief of in horror, it’s just something we should be doing.”

Most of y’all didn’t watch the video. And for those that did and still posted these comments: you, not Ezra, are missing the point.

So you’re a Democrat because you believe that democrats will vote to make minority rights equal to majority rights.

You also believe that the government should subscribe to the Warren court model of fundamental rights directed at necessities and equal opportunity.

Did I get that right?

This is what I’m trying to get to the bottom of. When I was a candidate, I spent hundreds of hours calling donors who would not donate unless I was their type of Democrat.

So if you were a Democrat, what would that mean?

I’ll go first: I’m a democrat because I believe in a more expansive interpretation of the preambles language that says that the government should “provide for the common defense and promote the general welfare.”

But I mean also yes we are already energy independent, the forecasts just aren’t great.

Fossil fuels won’t be able to keep up with the demand of the next 50 years. Emerging technologies are THIRSTY for energy, and our current production won’t keep up.

It’s already estimated that we need 500 new nuclear power plants by 2050 to meet demand and export energy for dominance.

Individual polls should not dictate policy or be used for false hope, but trends should still be accounted for.

Until we find a new way to take the temperature of the population, we need to figure out how to use the tools we have most effectively.

Only 13% of moderates say they wouldn’t vote.

I take your point about nationwide trends, but I’m mainly concerned with SC where our districts rely on moderates to vote dem because of our “F” rated gerrymandered maps.

Our party has a problem with overly relying on polls, I’ll grant you. But when they all align like this, I think we’d be foolish to ignore them.

Not only that, but we’re countering a narrative that republicans are “entitled” to more seats when the numbers look like this.
