True. Nice observation.

> "You've described yourself as a liberal just not a Dem apologist. Can you please keep your origin story straight for the next 30 day"

I'm not sure what you mean by this...what is the "origin story" you speak of that you apparently know so much about? I haven't contradicted myself about it.

Yeah...But don't tell the party loyalists on either side about it.

Dem pundit: "It's the uneducated white cis male patriarchy that wants the south to rise again..."

GOP pundit: "Those minority transgender liberals want to take your guns and religion..."

Oligarchy: smiles

> Even something as simple as "we acknowledge that people have differing political views, yadda yadda... would be sufficient).

Why do they need to publicly admit the obvious? What is the angle here?

Yes, being an actual liberal in SV and not just a Dem apologist...

It could be that they are just virtue signaling and trying to appease the easily offended bloggers and tech "journalists"

It seems like this post was just some jargon-filled bullshit and a cheap attempt at promotion for delighted.com

Nothing to see here...Moving on

> "Organize a community of Open Source developers who want to build tools to help local Democratic parties and clubs."

...this may be an unpopular opinion, but even though the GOP is atrocious, the Dems haven't really given us a good reason to give them our support either. That's the hard part for me anyway, I can't in good conscience lend support to either of two ruling parties.

> "Use our community to bring the voice of the Open Source community to our elected leaders and government."

...just so the DNC "leaders" can collude behind closed-door meetings to push whatever candidate and corporate agenda they want on us come election time, hoping we'll turn out no matter how disappointing the candidate.

> "That said, the question is about the (to me) bizarre defensiveness of Trump voters. Your team won, and has a freer hand than most presidents ever get. Why are you pretending you're oppressed?"

Is this addressed to me?

Good luck trying to find a "compelling" way to sell paper towels, laundry detergent, and unhealthy food.

Headline should be changed from "Trump" to "the national security state" in my opinion. Let's not forget that we need to push back against the Corporate Dems selling us out just as much as we need to push back against the GOP/Trump.

Will this policy cover those who want to support Trump, oppose immigration, or support right-wing religious positions that most people find unpalatable?

It'll be interesting to see how this pans out...
