Can't shout this loudly enough
@LJS527 There is this idea that everyone is either red or blue and that the sides just do things to each other, but they’re really wrecking a system that sustains all of us, including the large majority who aren’t really on a side. I don’t care who started it, I want it to stop.

Look at this flaming radical and his ridiculous ideas
How about instead of just saying "fuck Israel" or "fuck Palestine" we instead say that we want peace and will work to make peace??

Pro tip: You don’t have to get dug in for/against a candidate based on 4 video clips and factional twitter interests. Especially if it’s a year before an election in state where you don’t live.

Dear 🇺🇲Pro-Pals: Tomorrow is No Kings Day. If you go to an event for that, please leave your pet issue at home. Besides being a distraction when we're trying to focus on problems in the US, it also gives ammo to the idiots who *already* think we're in league with Hamas.
