Nah, it's reasonable. Fuck Snowden, that coward.
If just, why not support it in its current form? If unjust, why be particularly hard on Snowden for not wanting to risk them? There are a lot of things to rightly criticize Snowden for, but “I don’t want to go to prison” seems unreasonable to me. Most people don’t. Even good people.

The funny thing is that Liz Cheney did more to try to fight fascism, and sacrificed more to fight it, than any bluesky communist.

Retired Army Sgt. Brian Wofford spoke to me this morning at the Oklahoma City #NoKings protest. Didn’t expect him to be carrying his DD214 so I asked some warmup questions like when he got out and whether his injury was service-related.
He paused while describing the car bomb in Iraq to say this:

100% man it is a bit alarming to me how easy this "getting energized" stuff is when you can see if all around you as plain as day. When you're elbow to elbow with people just as scared and angry and stubborn as you. You feel like you could do it all by yourself, which is stupid, but also feels true

Right, you either get attacked by the cops and the world sees children and little old ladies getting tear gassed, or you don't get attacked by the cops and the regime sees that not everyone is willing to attack their neighbors. Both outcomes are something that can be built on.

If this is about not voting for Harris then no, the person didn't fail Harris, they failed all of us. They failed to protect their fellow citizens.

Yes? You scoff, like its impossible, but it isn't. It happens a lot. I personally have worked with multiple campaigns in the last few cycles that have knocked shitty conservative Dems out of office and replaced with waaay better Progressive Dems.
