American liberal
Newton is recognizing the vacuity of Postmodernism. For the majority of Americans these shifts in position will be welcomed.

It means that by your reply we know that you are in fact an illiberal hypocrite.

Well, we’re seeing what happens to the folks you say you care about when your party is a powerless minority.

Or another way to look at it is that for 10 individuals the Harris candidacy lost every single swing state.

I don't care who it is as long as they start the journey to displace this Postmodern loony 'woke' bourgeois leftism and return the Democratic Party to no nonsense FDR-style economic policies.

When woke is code for Postmodern Theory it means loony left intolerance disguised as empathy.

I dispute Colin's chart in that the 'right' has also run far to the radical reactionary right. MAGAs are insurrectionists after all, anti-vaxxers, climate change deniers, evolution deniers, and all manner of looney-right conspiracies. I would still place myself as center-left, a genuine liberal.

The government has an interest in protecting minors, like laws meant to prevent Christian Science parents from denying medical care to a sick child; like requiring basic vaccinations in public schools to protect the child and all the other children. Trangenderism is a fad and cultural ideology.

Russia will lose this war if the U.S. and Europe stand strong with Ukraine. But it looks like Trump will surrender.

Seems like men in women’s restrooms is more likely to endanger women.

While I favor Senate Democrats voting 'no' on these cabinet nominees, I also want Trump to own this train wreck entirely when it comes -- let him have the nincompoops he wants.

Seriously, Dean Phillips? 'X' is an entirely different creature than it was four years ago. Now it is pretty much just an echo chamber for Ms. Elon and the MAGAs. There is already more robust discussion on BlueSky than 'X'.

I live in the Mountain time zone. Now I will sleep in when the 4th hour of Joe is on and look forward to the first of the day’s news with Jim Acosta!

Have you?

Colin Wright’s presence here is very important for the values of tolerance for different points of view. And the thing is he backs up his contentions with evidence, reason, and science.

This where the left is gets it wrong. 90% of Americans grew up going to MacDonald's and 99% of kids have had the fun of getting a 'Happy Meal'. We know Big Macs are not very nutritious, but that is not the only reason we eat. I'm a dedicated liberal but we've got to stop mocking common ground.

Like most folks, I thought sexual assault was a requirement for a Trump appointee position.
