1. If you are "traumatized" by the UCC then you have problems of your own to deal with

and it's just plain ignorance to associate the United Church of Christ with the white evangelical shitbags.

8. indeed it is a mistake

but sadly, there are some progressives that would walk in there and get nervous

[Skittles]

[DonCoquixote]

7. the typing was bad

but the point sticks and you know it

[Beastly Boy]

3. "I think we should be organizing with literally anyone who is not a fucking nazi"

Pretty self-evident, and I don't get the people who think otherwise.

4. Solid points that I bet go over like a lead balloon with most.

[Ping Tung]

5. "If I can't dance, I don't want your revolution. Emma Goldman

9. Agree. Time to drop the purity tests.

Anyone who rejects Trump and Fascism is a coalition partner.

10. For some, it means having to share power and their tribal politics says no. Not unlike Magats.

11. I'd also stop prioritizing "safety"

It gets conflated with comfort too often. If you get out of bed in the morning, you're starting the day with a healthy jolt of discomfort. Go for a bike ride? Danger. Life? Bring it on.

12. We should team up with everybody who's not a fascist, Nazi, or any other extremist

IDGAS if they're on the left, center, or right. We need to band together and resist the temptation to equate comfort with safety.
We have a right to be safe, but nobody has the right to be comfortable.

13. She's 1000% right, and we've seen what she describes right here in DU

There are people that would rather lose with a smaller tent than win with diverse opinions.
