Some people are upset that in the face of fascism, this is the best the American ‘left’ can do. They claim the entire country is on the line, but I haven’t seen them act like it. I’ve seen them say we need to vote for Biden, because abortion!! Roe V Wade was undone under his leadership and he has done nothing about it. He adopted extremist conservative border policy. The Supreme Court decision everybody is clamoring about happened while he was in the big chair. So why does he deserve my vote? Why would voting for him change anything when some of the most consequential and damaging legislation of the 2000s has happened under him?

It’s also a Korean street dog. You would never find that at your local Weinerschnitzel.

I was just trying my best to give them the benefit of the doubt. I’m trying to learn to not assume the worst of people. It’s hard lol

Thank you for the response! 🤙🏼

Since you seem a bit more knowledgeable about the subject, what is stopping this scenario:

Lower courts decide they can’t determine what is/isn’t a presidential act, since standards weren’t outlined in the decision. They send it up the courts, where it lands in front of the Supreme Court. And since they set no standards, can determine them on partisan lines.

Well I’m glad the blame can now be shifted towards Biden allies when he loses, rather than leftists.

I only remember people being so pissed that she didn’t, they celebrated when she died. I don’t remember anyone who wanted her to step down calling it ‘courageous’ when she didn’t.

You leave alcoholics out of this! Are they not suffering enough?!

That’s the point, to showcase Christo-fascism. Acting like the Satanic Temple is the problem while you sit back and do nothing is brain dead and only serves Christo-fascism.

Define bribe and you’ll start to see where enforcing this becomes a problem. Especially with legalized corruption in the form of lobbying and ‘gifts’.

I was just making a joke to highlight the bullshit presidential debates have become, but I get what you mean. Shouting IS effective.

The other part is that more educated people have deeper understandings of society and are therefore more empathetic towards the marginalized.

The interruptions, while “entertaining”, should not exist in a debate so consequential. I feel like high school debate clubs have more decorum than any presidential debate in the last 16 years. Mic cuts are absolutely needed.

“I personally just hope we can tax the everliving bajeezus out of them and start some sensible basic quality of life initiatives and electoral reform before it starts getting properly ugly.”

When corruption is legal and money controls the systems, there’s no shot at getting that reform. We need reform before the reform. I’ve said this before, but it’s only around an average of $100,000 to buy a Supreme Court justice. And Clarence Thomas skews those numbers like crazy. It’s probably closer to $20,000.

Don’t forget the painful regrets of your actions while high!

The word fertile has abundance as a qualifier. I don’t know if deserts could exactly be abundant, but there is an incredible amount of biodiversity in deserts.

That’s actually sad. Makes me want to go just so they can have their happy time.

I’m viewing this from after the point when American media started caring about what was happening in Gaza; After October 7th. I don’t believe that tensions before then were anywhere close to what they are now. At least, as shown by the media.

So sure, while I’m not going to say those things didn’t happen, they certainly happened before shit hit the fan.

When antizionism is wrapped up in antisemitism, it’s very easy to see why there is an uptick. There’s no such false equivalence for Palestinians.

You’ve piqued my interest and now I want to know, too!
