re: #74 Targetpractice

That Young Turks video is a prime example of why the calls to “put differences aside” are such a waste of time. Any Bros who were going to do so either did so in time to vote for Hillary or did so after Trump took office. Any left who are still imbibing are not going to work with us, they view us as their “enemy” because we refuse to agree with them that Bernie was “robbed” of the nomination and “woulda won.” They are actively working to undermine the opposition to Trump because they view him as their ticket to a Bernie “victory” in 2020 and a “revolution” soon after.

Seems apropos

On this day in 1965, a Democratic president familiar with the ways of big money and not committed to open government signed the VRA. Purity.
