I live right off a road named after the practice of stealing indigenous children to be "adopted out" for pay as brainwashees and/or farm/house/sex/etc slaves. It's near a mountain named after a sexist slur against indigenous women.

It's not about saints vs sinners, it IS about fighters.
Corporate-sponsored dems will not fight. AIPAC dems will not fight. Centrist dems that rush to throw trans folks/palestinians/etc under the bus to save their skin won't fight. Insider trading dems will not fight.

Either we all get saved or none of us do.

This is why all the most well-developed features on the site are blocking, and they do it in a way that you effectively get to ctrl-z your entire participation in a conversation. Ignoring inconvenient realities while telling themselves they're good people.
