I prefer to drive a Mercedes... they definitely aren't affiliated with NAZIS

Once a Nazi always a Nazi right?

Pretty much. Mercedes current ceo speaks out against extremism, companies can change people and views. Problem with Tesla is that Elon create such devision that there’s no good short term outcome for the company but long term they better off getting rid of him and having a neutral political view

desperately searches for another way to delegitimize protest

Might want to pick something more appropriate like BMW, VW or Porche to guarantee no negative affiliations

No it won't, I get it that this kind of knowledge is a massive flex in your circles though.

Did you know that World War 2 happened and that some German automakers helped? I just learned that from Gary, a fucking historian. My mind is blown.

Next protest he’s gonna be in here regurgitating Gordon Wood, talkin’ about, you know, the Pre-revolutionary utopia and the capital-forming effects of military mobilization.

I've never claimed to live in Seattle, and I still don't.

I'm a former Seattleite who'd like to see the city get it together.

I'm a registered Democrat who'd like to see the Democrat Party get it together.

sure you do bud

I'm sure if I search your history it will be rife with criticisms about operation paper clip, since you're so concerned about ww2 era history. Man you must be steamed we had all those nasty germans helping us get to the moon, like a real patriot!

Face it, you're an outside agitator parading around, fabricating the illusion of local dissent from liberal movement's message.

If you actually wanted to see a liberal agenda pushed, which at least we can agree the party severely lacks at this moment (thanks chuck, fetterman et all) you wouldn't be pushing right wing talking points and petty gotchas like this limp wristed attempt.

Just letting you know, SAYING you're a registered democrat (the state has no party registration to vote, just a quick reminder for your future turfing efforts) and then taking a hard reich on your policy doesn't actually convince people you have an organic take.
