In my local paper the SF Chronicle they had a letter to the editor espousing how great it would
Be to have a no labels candidate. My bs detector went off immediately.

I will always vote Democratic.

Here is the letter:

Break the party system

We are living in a time when our political system is deeply fractured. Both Republicans and Democrats seem more interested in engaging in partisan warfare than in uniting to address the needs of constituents.

It’s no wonder we’re seeing widespread dissatisfaction and mistrust in our democratic institutions. And with over 40% of the electorate now considering themselves independent, there’s never been a greater urgency for a different choice.

No Labels, a nationwide movement composed of Republicans, Democrats and independents, represents such a refreshing alternative. It is building an infrastructure for an independent unity ticket to run in the 2024 presidential elections in response to historically unpopular nominees. No Labels is not positioning itself to be a spoiler; it’s offering a way to steer the political system of our nation back to stability and common sense.

Critics who call third-party presidential candidates spoilers are clinging to an outdated perspective that doesn’t reflect how broken our system has become. At the core of our democracy is the freedom to choose — limiting that only continues the partisan dysfunction.

We should embrace what No Labels is presenting. It’s a chance for a more robust democracy, offering solutions that neither Republicans or Democrats seem willing to tackle.

I would bet this same letter is posted in a lot of letters to the editor throughout the country now.
And I bet there is Republican money behind it big time.

Anyone seen this similar letter to the editor?

After reading about all the anti LGBTQ laws going on in Florida and other red states I can’t help but think this movie would be banned. It was made in1982 and I remember seeing it then and enjoying it. My husband had never seen it and we talked about how this movie couldn’t have even been made now. Men dressing as a woman and a woman dressing like a man and a woman pretending to be a gay man who is a drag queen. I read Peter Sellers was supposed to have the Robert Preston role

Blake Edwards was a genius.

I was so bummed over the dominion lawsuit outcome so this is like icing on the cake.

No more of that immoral jerk lying and dividing us.

He has a big future someday.

Also Justin Jones is equally awesome.

By expelling these two the law of unexpected consequences will hurt the repuke party in Tennessee. These young kids out protesting are the future and they see who their enemies really are!

They are talking about Robert f Kennedy Jr, being a threat to President Biden. I had a good laugh. That gravelly voice and pics of him with Steven Bannon, Roger Stone and Michael Flynn will end his presidential run sooner rather than later.

No coverage of Tennessee.

I came across this writing a few days ago and it has stayed with me.
I agree 100% to what this writer penned.

Or if I’m crazee?

In the south that had a whites only and colored only water fountains. The black boy drank the water out of the colored fountain and it tasted terrible. The white boy next to him drank out of the whites only fountain. He started fantasying that the whites fountain water was better tasting. He tricked his grandmother and took the bus a few days later to try to drink from that white fountain. He finally drank from the white fountain and the water was also terrible tasting. At the end he noticed the pipes were connected and the water was the same. As I was reading this I thought The right wingers heads would explode hearing this story and ban the book. More than half the class were white students, 1 Black child, 1 Hispanic and the rest Asian. They really enjoyed the story and I didn’t think any of them felt guilty. They were not upset but curious why they had two water fountains. We had a nice discussion. Then I read them a book about Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad. I took great delight that I educated my students about our country’s history and none of the white children were upset or ashamed but enlightened instead.

That is why the right wing hates discussing history like slavery and segregation. They are the ones feeling guilt not those of us who know that those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat the past.
