        Of course, some leftists want ridiculous things. So what? That doesn't make statues of Confederates a good idea.

        Maybe you should actually consider why a person in her position might think this. I disagree, but I can totally understand her POV

        I TOTALLY care abt how Angela & ANY POC feels but Trump dangled a carrot & she grabbed it. Not smart. That clip is now Trump & Co ammunition

        That's a political calculation that may well be correct. But that doesn't make her view any less worth considering.

        Her view was considered & the others disagreed with her & told her she fell for Trump's trap. Her view isn't less worthy, it's just wrong

        I think people can recognize the problematic nature of the two men. Witness the joke in Spider-Man: Homecoming from this summer

        Fortunately, reasonable voices exist on both "sides," which hopefully drown out the gratuitous ones.

        Somebody has to keep the party of Lincoln from becoming the part of Trump. For the good of us all, we need the best of the two parties.

        We NEED honest open discussion of issues and fewer slanted slogans. New parties might be the answer.

        This is not equivalent! What authority do these people hold vs those in the GOP defending the confederacy!? Crazy has more power in the GOP

        Learn American history. Not all figures were racists. Confederates committed treason wanting to secede. That's why they shouldn't be honored
