In reply to the discussion: AOC mad at her colleagues. Rightfully so. [View all]FHRRK
(1,337 posts)49. I believe you are missing my intended point, so I will try another
It is like rearranging chairs on the Titanic!
Get it, I fucking don't give two fucking turds about the use of the term balls that seem to upset some. In fact, I would argue it makes it worse.
But hey, we can continue down the path and push more into the loving arms of Joe Rogan, Stephan A. Smith, That gummy faced mfer, and others. But oh, we can be so fucking pure while we spend the rest of our lives bitching about the use of the word ball.
For another win, us old white guys can sit back and slam AOC for being too progressive.
I for one stand completely behind her and the message of the OP regardless of using what should be considered a minor offense of the word balls.

Right on! We absolutely need to be in "stop fascism" mode. Everything else is secondary.

I think she's aiming at the right targets and I agree with her. More leaders need to show leadership

I don't know why DU people can't say "get some gonads" or "grow a spine" instead of "get some balls". /nt

Yes, why not? Defn of gonads is the primary reproductive organs - testicles (balls) in males and ovaries in females

The "yes" Dems must see some benefit in supporting a fascist take over or they wouldn't be voting yes.
Think. Again.

No need to worry. I'm sure people like Cadaver Connolly were going to get around to it any fucking day now.

God gave men unprotected balls so that they would be cautious in all matters. It didn't work.

Oh, please. There's so much wrong with what you said it would take forever to address it in
