She was on to something. I've had more love and kindness shown to me from complete strangers than my entire family combined, who live to spite me. I keep telling my mom that people are generally good, it's what's got us living in the modern age, it's just that capitalism keeps the good people from sticking together.
And than they have the Bruenigs on the show lol
you claim to be against the family, yet you are friends with families
It's not because they are a family, it's because Liz Bruenig is a social conservative and everyone just ignores it cuz she's pro Bernie
Could you elaborate? I honestly have ignored the bruenigs for the most part and listened to the recent pod and enjoyed listening to them talk. I know people talk bad about them but I don't understand why.
Just gonna copy and paste what I wrote below:
She’s written about how Republicans have a “reasonably sound position on sexual ethics,” that homosexuality/abortion/“a libertine attitude towards sexuality” are morally unsound, and (while I can’t find it anymore) blamed a man getting away with murdering his gf on the woman being into BDSM.
LOL the Tweets you linked didn't spell this out, but if this is accurate then yeah that's fucked up. BDSM-fearmongering is clueless and homophobia is a non-starter, that's more conservative than the Pope.
She literally calls the Democrats' approach to sex ethics "unconscionable" and the sex ethics of the Republican party "reasonably sound" in the screenshot there, so I'm not quite sure what I need to spell out for you.
Read the whole blog link because I couldn't tell who was talking what from the screenshots alone... It's a little more vague than her calling the Democrats' approach to sex "unconscionable" - she says that's the perspective that Christians face, which is not the same as stating that view outright. But yeah, she's a social conservative, though she actually cares about poverty and the environment as much as about sex.
People probably ignore it because she literally almost never talks about it
She has the good sense to rarely mention it and keep a sense of plausible deniability, but I'm tired of people acting like it's overreacting to call her a reactionary. She's written about how Republicans have a "reasonably sound position on sexual ethics," that homosexuality/abortion/"a libertine attitude towards sexuality" are morally unsound, and (while I can't find it anymore) blamed a man getting away with murdering his gf on the woman being into BDSM. She's a fucking ghoul.
I bet they use an iPhone to talk to these families
Do people really dislike them or is it a bit? I don't follow both of them but have seen their posts quite a bit and they usually seem very tame. Idk how trad socialism "works" but i know a couple people who are Christian socialists and they seem fine, is that any different?

This was written 7 years ago, so maybe she's completely disowned these views since but I certainly haven't seen shit and people seem to think it's not a big deal because she doesn't talk like this in public as much anymore and supports M4A.
oh damn that is pretty fuckin reactionary.
I'm glad she disowned it but uhhh,not a good look either way. Thanks for thatDid she? Cuz I dont know when/if she did.
oh im sorry i misread that!!!
No idea what that's saying without context. She says we need "sexual ethics" - couldn't that mean anything (including things like respecting consent)? "Libertine" sexuality is cool, but people (especially religious ones) can have a more conservative personal approach to sexuality if they want - that's not the same as slut-shaming or fighting against biology. I.e. you can be a literal volcel if you want.
Or am I missing something?
no you're wrong nobody should ever talk to her or her husband about completely unrelated topics again
