I agree with that generally. But I agree with that on both sides. If you want to go back to civility, decency and '''loyal opposition''', I'm w/ you. If you want to pretend it was all on one side, you've lost me and I have better things to do today. |thread= {{Tweet |image=Eric profile picture.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1763970721074786531 |name=Eric Weinstein |usernameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein |username=EricRWeinstein |content=You aren't signed up for Democracy if you think government should be dismantled each time you lose, yet must be revered whenever you win. That's just being an ass. This court may be accused of overstepping. As the Warren court was once. Think about it. Moral: Don't be an ass. |quote= {{Tweet |image=thenation-profile.png |nameurl=https://x.com/thenation/status/1763960206596166068 |name=The Nation |usernameurl=https://x.com/thenation |username=thenation |content=The Supreme Court must be stoppedāand the only way to do it is to limit its power, budget, and the obscene amount of deference we pay to it. If we donāt, we can keep kissing our rights goodbye. |timestamp=4:11 PM Ā· Mar 2, 2024 }} |timestamp=4:52 PM Ā· Mar 2, 2024 }} |timestamp=4:52 PM Ā· Mar 2, 2024 }} {{Tweet |image=Eric profile picture.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1826507545458213361 |name=Eric Weinstein |usernameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein |username=EricRWeinstein |content=Iām not in any way shape or form attached to the Democratic Party. Emotionally. spiritually, or otherwise. America needs *two or more* parties of '''loyal opposition''' with mostly shared values of merit, decency, opportunity, freedom, civility, common sense, common purpose, family, self-defense and self-restraint. Right now I see zero. Not two. Not one. But zero. If you want to build new ones, Iām all ears. |thread= {{Tweet |image=Eric profile picture.jpg |nameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein/status/1826504298836144374 |name=Eric Weinstein |usernameurl=https://x.com/EricRWeinstein |username=EricRWeinstein |content=Folks are always confused why the Democratic Party is my party. Why doesnāt John Wick just get a new dog? Why doesnāt Ulysses find a wife with fewer suitors? Why doesnāt Israel move to Beverly Hills? Why doesnāt Shackleton accept reality?

Not every progressive is a revolutionary. Not everyone who wants life to be fairer for working families is a Bolshevik. If the psychopathic left wants my pro-market, pro-merit, pro-free speech progressive sliver, they will have to come and take it. And then we will see. I donāt love my odds, but you arenāt making my life any easier by lobbing insults as if Iām too dumb to know what Iām up against. Iād rather you ask: āHow can we help?ā. But you do you. Iām damn proud of what is left of my sliver of the Left. And you on the right have come around to appreciate a lot of what we accomplished together as '''loyal constructive opposition''' to each other over the years. Ask yourself if you are better off with one more āWhy I left the Left.ā article. Iād settle for āThank you.ā and a little help and encouragement given the fire from the DNC party leaders and character assassins. Butā¦yāknowā¦suit yourselves. If you wanna help the psychos thatās your call. Go Dodger Blue! Aināt freedom grand. Thatās America to me. š |timestamp=6:23 AM Ā· Aug 22, 2024 |media1=ERW-X-post-1826505346342625282-GVkM7j3bgAIHouE.jpg }} |timestamp=6:31 AM Ā· Aug 22, 2024 }}
