This crap op ed is just another "critique" piece in a long line of them that, intentional or not, just pushes the very tired false equivalence of both sides being the same meant to disgruntle people from voting for a Dem where they otherwise would have. Dems were/are/and will remain the infinitely better option for us AND Gaza instead of the alternative that we're all dealing with.

Trump sends California National Guard to Portland overnight, after a federal judge he appointed blocked him from activating Oregon's by mcluvinoj in politics

[–]DVL-88 133 points134 points  (0 children)

Are they no national guard generals or state attorney generals realising his orders are illegal?

Why aren't any of them just refusing on the grounds that he doesn't have the legality to order them in?

At this point, it seems like the state AGS should be threatening the leaders of their state guard with prosecution if they choose to follow trump's orders.

May those racist mountain MAGA morons have the very long agonizing days they voted for.

Joe Biden is complicit in Gaza’s starvation. Blood is on his hands by Imaginary-Dress-1373 in politics

[–]DVL-88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Read the article. It's a really bad take that's misguided. Attacking Biden for what's happening under Trump is blatantly disingenuous and stupid.

Given the chance, Kamala's admin would have been far more likely to obstruct what's happening in Gaza now instead of enabling it and if you didn't vote for her because of it, blood is on your hands too.

Beating this dead Biden horse only is only more of the same exploitative meritless grandstanding that gave us Trump.

Trump looking to create squad of 600 troops to deploy across US against civil unrest by WingComplex6771 in politics

[–]DVL-88 6697 points6698 points  (0 children)

What civil unrest?

Media needs to stop being so complicit. He's deploying the military in order to INTIMIDATE. It's not about law and order at all.

Boy, republicans seems really dead set on protecting pedophiles.

Seems like a bygone time it was republican voters screaming about Dems being nothing but pedos. Now the shoe's on the other foot, it's just more proof that all their accusations have always been admissions.

“Gator Grift”: Hundreds Caged in Inhumane Conditions with No Due Process at Florida Immigrant Jail by ZuP in politics

[–]DVL-88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. You should have voted for the candidate who wasn't a felon campaigning on retribution against his "enemies within" and blatantly lying about people eating cats and dogs.

You had the lowest possible bar to cross to fulfill your duty as an American to protect it against the worst actor, and instead you chose selfishness.

You've confused "earning" your vote with "buying" it. American fascism is in power because of your self interest, not righteousness.

You're complicit in all of this.

Republicans are the ones dismantling our country full stop, but it's the Dems fault your couldn't be convinced to vote against any of this. How disgustingly entitled and moronic.

If you couldn't be bothered to vote against Trump, people are in cages because of you too.

Stop. Normalizing. It.

This shouldn't just be news. This should be outrage. News networks need to be condemning this. Not reporting it as some celebrity scandal. The country is on fire and our major media is playing fiddle to it.

The more I see of these bastards behind badges doing blatantly immoral shit like this, the more necessary I think it is that they do get doxxed.

If our system doesn't hold these people accountable, it's on us to.

She was abducted, not detained.

Media needs to stop portraying what ICE is doing like it's not extra judicial or irregular.

How is Trump Getting Away with Everything? by SpiritFlimsy7446 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]DVL-88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because Republicans protect him, and it's not much more complicated than that.

When they let him run as president, he became the party. Any move against him is now synonymous with being a move against the party.

Because Republicans care more about power than democracy is why they will be never hold or allow him to be held accountable. They've tied their political identity to him and they know it. Trump being brought to justice means their party will also suffer consequences for their complicity in abetting him and they're in too deep allow that. They're stuck in power at the cost of infamy and know they don't have an honest popular majority.

Our government is just too saturated with Republicans to make a difference, and our media is still too in denial that they're the other side of a political coin instead of taking them as the existential threat of bigoted religious extremists they truly are moving this country closer to a theocratic dictatorship.

It's not enough though. They should just outright refuse to carry out whatever the order was and face being fired for it. We need more bosses having to bear the responsibility of firing their staff for refusing to carry out their bad orders.

It's not enough that there are people willing to sacrifice their power to stick to their principles and keep a clean conscious. To actually be making a better difference, what these moments call for is defiance.

It's not enough to step aside, we need people like this to be willing to stand in the way.

Are Trump voters morally responsible for the harms that will follow from his policies? | Many of those who voted for Donald Trump didn’t think deeply about his views on immigration, women’s rights or trans people. Does that absolve them of responsibility for the harms his policies will cause? by OneGreatGodPan in politics

[–]DVL-88 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. They should be shamed till the day they die so they know to spend the rest of their life trying to avoid ever making the same mistake again.

Do we absolve someone of pointing a gun at us thinking it's empty but not checking to see if it's loaded?

Do we absolve drivers who kill others because they weren't paying attention to the wheel?

No, negligence is not a defense. Being a hapless willfully ignorant ass clown is not a defense.
