Bari Weiss resigns from the Times

What we need is genuine leadership to find a way out of this mess, without making it any worse.
What we're offered is anything but, by either side.

I really can't imagine a scenario in which Joe Biden would stand up to this. He's Mr. Appeasement. At least Trump isn't. And Trump being president does embolden 'Murricans not to put up with this "inclusivity minus yourself of course" B.S. That's at least something.
I have no respect at all for the orange Cheeto, but who else is available?

I feel it necessary to concede that the only leader America will fully accept is a black person. I feel strongly that the right should proceed to elect one.

You're given a choice between appeasement and dickhead, each representing the more "outspoken" members of society. Neither is likely to improve things.

Yeah but at this point I trust the Trumpists more than I do the woke crowd. The former wouldn't spend a ton of effort taking me down publicly for my whiteness. The latter absolutely would if I was deemed important enough to vilify.

I do not find the equalization of crazy and dangerous between Trumpists and the woke to be a well considered argument. I think people confuse Trump with his voters. But there is no confusion between a mob and members of it.

Quite possibly both, however I was referring to the golden State.

I have grown to not only ascertain what a person is really thinking, to knowing what groups think.
Thanks, Intersectionalism!!Those that support Trump also have issues with him, though they don't easily admit it. The thought process is equal on both sides: All or Nothing.
So, the vote will be for the "lesser of two evils" so to speak.
And I believe Aqua hit the nail on the head. People on the Left, the Far Left, will not discuss. It's become a religion, you are either in the church, or not. No questioning, no debate, no compromise.
And this is driving sensible people's frustration to the Orange Cheeto Man, especially those that know even a little 20th century history.

Groups of fat people think about food. Also, individual fat people tend to think about food. My theory is that they want to get so fat as an individual, that they must be considered a group unto themselves.

Any black person the republicans nominated will be labeled an uncle Tom and smeared.
There are so many highly intelligent, politically astute black people out there today who should be being held up by the black community as examples, but instead they are mocked, called names, and ignored. People like race baiter Al Sharpton, low IQ racist rappers, football players etc. Are the hero's, and the democrats kiss their asses in thanks for doing their part in keeping the black community on the plantation.

I think a person of the correct phenotype leading the GOP in presidential elections would do wonders to reduce the rhetorical ammo used in the messaging of the left. Of course they would try to dismiss the person's oppression bona fides, but it wouldn't be as effective as the messaging about, for instance, Trump being a racist.

Don't know. Look at the stuff hurled at Scott in South Carolina...
