The main idea of my post is "Liberals who control the social narrative being really awful at picking battles." It isn't a non-sequitur, because the Bill Maher video is about the "Liberals who control the social narrative picking an awful battle." I only referenced the "Shithole" thread (not the shithole issue), because that's where I recently brought up the topic of "Liberals who control the social narrative being really awful at picking battles." Your initial post is also adjacent to the idea as you say (paraphrased) "Liberals who control the social narrative insist on blanket solutions which causes problems." Which I think could be interpreted as "Liberals who control the social narrative insist on picking awful battles."
This was just a better example than any I came up with in the other thread, because it's one that is more universally seen as an 'awful battle.' You, me, CL, Bill Maher, and Matt Damon all are in agreement. That says something about the quality of a position if that group of 5 people all think it's lousy. And it's absurd. Because the topic is sexual violence. All 5 of us want to be on their side. So you can imagine how stupid something has to be to alienate people when you're the anti-sexual violence side.
UM NO, what is horrible is having to put up with right wing bullshit.
