I’ll grant you that the links to content are informative but usually the comments are full of people missing the point, taking your comment out of context, etc. like this person that’s trying to act like I’m racist because I said it’s difficult to find vegan food in Mexico.

I’d say 90% of comments are just a waste of time. I would never come here expecting positive engagement with others.

We should be welcoming defectors from the right but the oligarchy has everything so influence operatized that we are led to loudly reject them so we remain unable to win.

ie MTG. That said, everyone that's been against the bad guys from the start should get at least one I told you so on a turncoat. But they should be welcomed and encouraged to defect even if you don't trust their motives as being anything beyond self interest.

RFK Jr. had like three percent in polls as an independent candidate, so he went to Democrats with an offer to withdraw and endorse them in exchange for a healthcare position. Sure enough, nobody there even listened to that constantly choking nut. So he went with the same offer to Trump, who decided “yeah, sure, who cares”. The gag, of course, is that there's no guarantee that the three percent voted for Trump — they might've split evenly or all chosen Democrats.

However, I'm not sure what about that roadkill-eating conspiracy-theorist brainworm is Democrat.

Expressing my opinions means I’m a troll.
