(53,165 posts)As in daring to protest the epidemic of police killings of black people? Or daring to believe all human beings are equal and that one politician and his supporters are not superior to the rest of humanity? Are those the "lies" you are condemning? Liberal isn't a set of ideas or principles. It's all about reverence for a single man, a man who specifically says he is not a liberal himself. My, I had no idea liberal had become some an empty word. And what becomes of American liberalism after Sanders is no longer with us? Does it disappear with him, since it's only purpose is to promote his career? I suppose when people so easily throw aside principle, labels become especially important to them. Or perhaps it isn't an abdication of principle. Perhaps people are simply revealing who they always have been.
What liberal issues do you care about? I don't believe I've ever seen you discuss issues. I've seen you express hostility toward segments of the American population, including the Democratic Party and its leaders, with some frequency, but I don't recall anything else. Is there any issue you would decide matters more than a career of a single man?
