Panel in S.F. explores how left can rebound
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | April 20, 2017 | Kevin Fagan

Posted on 04/21/2017 7:51:29 AM PDT by artichokegrower

With Republicans firmly in command of Congress, the White House and about two-thirds of all state legislatures, it would be easy for an overwhelmingly left-wing crowd gathered in San Francisco Wednesday night to feel like the political equivalent of crushed bugs. Or at least voiceless ones.

Forget that, insisted the panel of political activists and experts they came to see at the Herbst Theater in a presentation entitled “Can the Trump Resistance Grow Beyond Protest?”

TOPICS: Culture/Society
KEYWORDS:
There was more of a ballot-box street-fight attitude from the other two panelists, Black Lives Matter co-founder Alicia Garza and Laura Guzman, founder of the Mission Neighborhood Resource Center for homeless and low-income people.


This is so freaking offensive in that a Black Lives Matters member killed four white men in Stockton, CA this week.

It is possible for a full rebound with young ones cheering the rioters/killers as heroes. Then there’s token stupidity and hypocrisy on the GOP side.

They need to keep doing what they’ve been doing - bustin’ chops, destroying property, smashing windows, throwing fire bombs...

...and they most likely will. I don’t see any logical, rational thought among any of these various groups. Why, they’re getting as, ‘hard to herd’ as Republicans, LOL!

Not to mention calling anyone who disagrees with them hateful names and denying that they have a right to free speech.

an online joker parodied the ill-fated Pepsi commercial showing the soda making everyone get along:

he filmed himself trying to give Pepsi to motIfs, who simply stared back at him with Stony, hostile silence.

when he then tried the same joke with those on the right, they immediately understood the parody and took the soda, dancing around vaudivillean happiness for the ccamera.

The biggest black eye to the left is their glaring loss of any semblance of a sense of humor.

we need to exploit that maximally:

A non naked, young hippie with no sense of humor is a useless, ineffective hippie.

Thank you, I was staring at that wondering what motIfs was. One of the individuals murdered by the BLM/IS thug the other day turned out to be antifa himself. So there’s that.

Didn’t catch this on the news. Might you be referring to the Fresno killings?

I can tell you their conclusion before they even start:

WE NEED TO GO MORE LIBERAL! MORE PROGRESSIVE! MORE LEFTWARD!.................

From the comments section:

“Get off the drugs, get up before noon and get jobs?”

“With Black Lives Matter on your side, what could go wrong? HAHAHAHAHA!”

“Self-immolation has worked well in the past for lefty initiatives.”

“Then dump identity politics. Retire asinine groups like #BLM. Take the dopey ring out of your nose. Oh, and volunteer to help w/security when Ann Coulter speaks at Cal. Then we’ll KNOW you are sincere!”

“The uber left believes Venezuela is doing just fine, so it’s hopeless to even talk with them.”

“Grievances. Victim Status. Entitlements. Identity Politics. Not a single idea appealing to hard-working taxpayers.”

In fact, there is not a single comment that is even vaguely pro-left.

“Panel in S.F. explores how left can rebound”

Tell them to jump off of a building onto a concrete sidewalk and then they can enjoy the rebound from the impact.

Get off the hyperdiversity schtick and go back to the old tried-and-true method of giving away FREE SH*T.
