I like Biden. A lot. I like Kamala Harris even more. But let’s be clear. I won’t ever fly a flag with their image on it. I would leave my party if my leadership asked me to die for them. I will never worship them. They are competent politicians who...

The “blame antifa” trope is not working out so well for the Trumpists wanting the left to declare People’s War in the streets of the US. Antifa aren’t anywhere to be found, just ask the FBI. All they need to do is dig up Lin Biao and reanimate him. But...
