So we have you to blame for all the spineless cucks. They couldn’t get her on immigration stuff so now they’re doing it on something else and you’re like “oh but they probably know something.”
Yeah.
That AIPAC won’t continue to bribe them if they vote to protect Omar- and let’s be clear. She’s the low hanging fruit, but they’re gonna go after everyone who doesnt in line.
Wait… El-Sayed is irish now?
this is getting entertaining.
And Kamala thinks the affordability crisis cam be solved with proverbial spackling and maybe some light sanding.
To be sure, trump’s and the rest of the GOP’s rampant corruption is the cause, so “taking care of business” means… taking care of Trump.
Hey, it worked for Kamala!
(Oh wait.)
He didn’t find a spine. he’s seeing where things are going and trying to get out before people realize he’s helped us go there.
That we stop supporting fascists because they’re less overtly fascists than other fascists.
The DNC has gotten away with that for far too long.
If a politician did fuck-all back when it was easy, they’re not gonna do anything when it’s hard. I don’t have any good solutions- I don’t think anyone does.
Right now, we’re on track to a fourth reich and I’ve been warning anyone who’d listen for the last decade. If you think there’s not gonna be pain ahead, I got bad news for you.
It’s amazing.
I’m not a tankie.
But you can’t answer a simple question without going there.
So, let me make the question even simpler:
Why should I trust fascist-Lites to protect me from fascists?
Enough democrats are fascist-lite. Which is why the Biden admin did absolutely fuck-all to stop helping Israel or protect voting rights or trans rights or actually hold Trump and his cronies to account.
Your “pragmatism” is what got us here- going back over 50 years- and implying I’m a tankie for saying it says more about you than me.
Serious question.
If a politician can’t be bothered to stop supporting a genocidal regime (Israel) or defend the human rights of Americans (lgbtq,) why the fuck would we believe they’ll stand up against fascists at other times?
Silence is complicity, and a shocking number of democrats are awfully silent on things that should never be.
Isn’t exactly pragmatic to trust the guy whose going to stand around and watch while you’re being raped.
You don’t need to eliminate the senate to make it representative of actual people.
The constitution isn’t meant to be unchanging, perfect or worshipped. It was designed to be changed as the needs of the people changed. As the world changed.
You can take your “agree to disagree” and shove it up your ass. Your attitude is literally disenfranchising ~80+% of Americans because of something you can’t even demonstrate to be likely, never mind totally true.
Edit, by the way, if what you said is true, farm bills would never pass the house. They almost always pass as a matter routine.
Equal representation is a foundation of democracy.
The US doesn’t have that. And has never had it. If the foundation is shit, everything else is going to go to shit.
That includes citizens united and gerrymandering.
Which it needs to be said is a false dichotomy and all three things can be done simultaneously. It’s as lazy and fucking disingenuous as saying urban and suburban voters can’t vote responsibly for rural decisions but rural voters can vote responsibly for urban decisions.
Any argument you can make for rural voters receiving more voting power can be echoed right back at you and it’s all a load of bullshit.
So yeah. You’re absolutely going to have to defend the argument you fucking made when that argument is ultimately to disenfranchise 80% of American voters.
It helps prevent us from turning the less populated states into dumping grounds.
You’re going to have to prove that’s what would happen.
You’re also going to have to explain why that’s worse than underfunding and not meeting the everyday needs of actual people- the vast majority of whom do not live in rural America- to prevent rural America from “Becoming a dumping ground”.
(Also while you’re at it, show how republicans aren’t already turning rural America into literal dumping grounds with their regulatory rollbacks.)
Fetterman is an important and vital Democrat.
How that ass hasn’t already been kicked to the curb, I don’t know. Is he even still caucusing with Democrats? he’s promoting republican candidates and republican conventions.
He’s bribing them with pennies on every dollar he steals and they suck his ass and worship his tiny dick for it.
(And it’s working.)
Yes.
And my point is that even with it being a small group- positively tiny in the scheme of things- it’s still important to protect their human rights.
Because if we erode their right to be who they are, we erode our own right to be who we are- that includes the right to be women who are good at sports, or men who suck at sports.
That includes being a male nurse or so woman firefighter.
Or whatever they’re telling us is appropriate/innapropeiate for what ever one has going on.
They’re using transphobia, fear and hate to attack everyone. Trans persons are vulnerable and need protection, not just because they need and deserve being safe… but also because what happens to the most vulnerable of us will eventually happen to all of us.
We’re here because you old shits voted how you voted. It’s been going on for the past 50+ years, and “kids these days” have a right to demand candidates that aren’t evil at all.
Your low standards led to Trump.
Even if you can’t be an empathetic human who accepts that everyone should be safe and allowed to exist as who and what they are, you can still be selfish and recognize that attacking transgender rights is also attacking YOUR rights.
We should be focused on the big things. I agree.
Like my powerful need to eat. (along with the rest of my family’s).
Also my powerful need to be safe and health care.
And generally have a functional government that respects my most basic rights as a person.
Did I mention my powerful need to eat?
I bet a few of them could get onboard with stoning unruly children. (Mark 7. The law Jesus cited and accused the Pharisees of not following is about stoning children who talk back to their parents.)
If you wondered why conservative Christians come up with awful shit in the Bible… it’s because the Bible has awful shit to come up with.
The reality is that they just handed them a list of 20,000 names of people who sound vaguely non-white. Every time any of these lists gets scrutinized, it’s found to be utter rubbish.
It’s also, it needs to be said, none of Trump’s business.
