Where did I write that I want a compromise? I want jackasses to be able to go out and embarrass themselves

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Except that people look at that embarrassment and say "he's just like me!" and then vote for them

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They should have the right to vote however they wish?

Are you saying the issue is not that say in America that the dems refuse to hold primaries and their neoliberal policies disgust the general public, its that folks have freedom of speech?

I mean, I do think that hate speech and extremism such as white supremacism should not be allowed, yes. They do not act in good faith, why should we extend our good faith to them?

But besides, that is slightly beside the point I was making. What I was trying to point out is that they do not embarrass themselves to the target demographic

And if you don’t realize that you are being embarrassing then you are not being one? Huh… Majority of my childhood saved!

And the banning things… Do you think that a large majority of the polulus in agreement of it? If so, then there is no need for a ban as it is viewed as socially unacceptable as it is. But if its not? How could that ever be enforced?

I've seen tons of these comics. Can somebody asplain how "No, you can't do that" is a compromise?

The way an acquittal works is a judge or jury in a courtroom makes a decision. I can't answer for flawed court decisions, but when they do happen it's not "The Democrats" or "The Libs" making those rulings.

No Democrats in Washington State or Aurora, Colorado?

I think you probably know I'm not saying judges aren't democrats or liberals, I'm saying the actions of individual judges aren't the actions of "The Democrats" or "The Libs" or any other group they belong to,they're individual decisions. Meme creators just like to oversimplify the world.

A noble goal but you're wasting your time I'm afraid, they're just another side of the maga coin where everything is a plot

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

When they are endorsed by the party?

No shortage of cop-fetishizers at the DLC. Hell, Eric Adams was floated as presidential material this time a year ago.

Politicians, too, sadly. The party is run by people trapped in the 1990s, when running to the right of the Bush family was how they won elections.

And when you ban that you get Trump. Enjoy!

I gotta say. I'm remembering the Columbia / UCLA protests, the BLM rallies, and the anti-War marches. And I'm remembering the police response. The police did not appear to side with the "We Want Civil Rights" folks. In fact, quite a few of the police were - themselves - waving the MAGA flags.

It wasn't the "We want to kill black people" group that cancelled. It wasn't the reactionaries that got banned.
