I’m absolutely voting blue no matter who Well, then you've got a decision to make. Because even Senate Dems aren't voting Dem anymore. none of this crazy shit was happening before January 2025 You remind me of the Israelis who cannot conceive of a historical moment prior to October 7th, 2023.

Does anyone still think Fetterman is a Democrat?

Ask Brian Schatz. You'd think the Dem Whip would keep this chucklefuck in line, but so far I haven't seen him pay a price for any of this.

"it's the only viable opposition because VBNMW only goes one way!" If you want left wing votes, you better have left wing candidates. Unless you really like how 2024 turned out, I'd recommend learning that.

My best friend died in Trump’s concentration camps so I hope you feel good about teaching me that lesson.

The majority of voters don’t want to abolish ICE. Just like they didn’t want to defund the police. They want police to follow the law and be held accountable and ICE to not be used as Trump’s personal army. This seems like an attempt to make leftists look bad by pushing a sentiment that is unpopular with voters

According to some polls, abolishing ICE is a majority position. Some of the most popular politicians support abolishing ICE. If more genuine politicians campaigned on it, offered good concrete policies, and communicated it well, I'd bet the sentiment would be even more widespread. I believe defunding the police could also become a majority position if that was done as well. Politicians have a great influence on public opinion.

It isn’t just about candidates reaching voters. It’s also about voters being responsible enough to do the right thing, even under shitty circumstances.

I just don’t know how much we have to beat you over the head with this to get you to understand.

You can beat me over the head all you want with your spaghetti arms. It's not going to prevent me from making the right decisions or expecting MOTHERFUCKING ADULTS to make the right decision, even if they aren't coddled by politicians the way they want to be. It's not like election campaigns are the only way to determine where a candidate or party stands. There's an entire history of data PROVING where they stand. Part of a citizen's responsibility is making themselves aware of that history.

This wasn't calculus. It was a low IQ convicted felon and adjudicated rapist with 1 failed presidency and 2 impeachments vs. a non-criminal with a doctorate who just didn't meet the moment in the campaign. It doesn't get easier than that.

If GROWN ASS ADULTS can't do what's right even under those circumstances, then yes, I absolutely will, and rightfully so, place blame on the voters. That doesn't mean I don't understand how voting or elections work. It means I'm acknolwedging that voters have a responsibility that goes beyond politician's campaigns and American voters (and idiot non-voters) FUCKED THAT RESPONSIBILITY UP SPECTACULARLY.

I am not here to discuss what Democrats need to do to win. That's obvious. I'm here to point out that voters are absolutely at fault as well.

How so?

He didn't run as a Democrat so we weren't tempted to vote blue no matter who in regards to him.

Yes maga is dogshit but the democrat leadership is in bed with them, that's the problem and there's no easy solution. Even if Ocasio Cortez and Sanders and others are amazing, they need more allies because schumer and jefferies are lockstep with trump behind closed doors.

No I don't. I'm not in Fetterman's district.

No I don't. I remind you of someone that can remember what living in the United States was like before January 2025 and it was nowhere near this insane and stressful.

Dissenters here. Ice isnt the problem, its been around for decades and few paid it any attention. Blow hard trump is the problem. Hes making ice what it is.

Yeah but at this point it's severely mangled beyond repair. Majority if ICE workers are now hired since the start of trump's second term with its well documented lack of vetting. Idk maybe if you could fire everyone hired under trump, but at that point easier to just shut the institution down and re-form it with a new mandate.

Jeffries, I hate it break it to you but if you think you're going to pass anything while The Orange Menace is in the White House, I'd love to sell you my share of the Brooklyn Bridge. You might as well keep trying to impeach Trump. In fact, we'd think you have balls if after each defeat in the Senate, you drum up another impeachment vote. And I'd like to remind you that Republicans passed the r...

Don't worry, he'll keep passing insider trades to his friends while he publicly laments trump's lack of tact.

Its very telling as soon as you tell these people that politicians should stand up for what's right, they foam at the mouth and insult you for wanting better from the "lesser" evil.

ICE and Border Patrol have been a violent racist Nazi org for as long as they've existed. Just because their crimes weren't in the news cycle everyday doesn't mean they weren't happening.

Stop playing defense for Nazi killers and politicians who won't vote abolish them.

So you're saying as a voter I'm supposed to just sit around and wait for a candidate/party to run a perfect campaign while I let my brain rot instead of rubbing some of my brain cells together to acknowledge that one option is better than the other, even if they messed up on the campaign trail? That sounds pretty stupid and lazy. Like, do you think election campaigns are the only way to judge a...

Oh my god, I am extremely over explaining this again and again.

No, I'm telling you that it doesn't matter how much you scream, cry, shame, judge, rant and rave, it literally doesn't matter one single iota if you're right and those people are lazy and shit.

THEY WILL CONTINUE TO NOT VOTE UNLESS YOU GIVE THEM SOMETHING TO VOTE FOR.

DEAL WITH REALITY, OR LOSE.

Congratulations, you've just invented the Stasi.

My country's right-wingers, who I actually know and interact with, are horrid, despicable people who are constantly hate-criming minorities, holding back progress, and trying to bring back every backwards oppressive institution they can, they have no insight, nothing worth saying, they can't be reasoned or negotiated with, and they ought to at least be shut out of the political process, if not forcibly reeducated or removed from society.

I don't know much about right-wingers in communist countries, but presumably they must be heroic freedom fighters who should be blindly supported at every opportunity.

I mean, you joke, but that was straight up the rhetoric around Victor Orban when he came to power 16 years ago. Same with Putin in the early '00s. And now we're getting an earful of it about Reza Pahlavi with respect to Iran.

These claims read as racially biased. Ask Black men how often they get the benefit of the doubt during a traffic stop. We have years of documented cases where routine vehicle encounters turned deadly for Black drivers. So when others seem to get a pass, it is hard not to see a double standard.

PoCs and disabled folks both get treated like shit by the cops. That's been the fascist MO for a long time. I don't think expressing outrage at the treatment is racially biased. Was Rodney King biased against Hispanics because he expected the police not to drag him out of his car and beat him up on the side of the freeway?

We have years of documented cases where routine vehicle encounters turned deadly for Black drivers.

For black drivers. For poor drivers. For handicapped drivers. For anyone who isn't fluent in English. Women - particularly young women - in police custody experience a heavily unreported incidence of sexual assault.

So when others seem to get a pass

I don't think this woman was asking for "a pass". I think she was objecting to being hog-tied and abused until she'd fallen unconscious.
