We are not the bad guys. They are the bad guys. We are bad at strategy. We are bad at message discipline. Unfortunately, those things fucking matter.

edit: I don't think that I fully got my reply out in my initial message, so I want to add on to this:

Jersey City, it's time to protect abortion rights.

Jersey City, it's time to prevent antidemocratic, fascist forces from taking over a second branch of our government.

Jersey City, it's time to protect the right to contraception, gay marriage, and privacy rights from a stolen Supreme Court.

Sure, Christopher Columbus was a dick, but comparing naming a street after him to the statues of actual traitors who levied war against the United States is either ignorant or disingenuous, but is unquestionably really, really fucking stupid. Would I choose to rename Columbus Drive? Sure, seems fine with me, but it's like, the 100,000th most important political cause out there these days. Shut the fuck up about that and spend your time advocating for something actually meaningful.
