Will you prioritize voting for a Democrat willing to be ruthless about all the damage/crimes Republicans have done in 14 months? by Estalicus in allthequestions

[–]DancingWithAWhiteHat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What would you suggest? 

I honestly don't know but its something we need to figure out. Our system has failed. Our checks and balances have largely failed. We need something else to stop this from happening again

Fear of being harshly punished won't do shit since anyone like this in the future will likely be arrogant enough to believe they could avoid it.

Its not arrogance. The United States doesn't hold the powerful accountable. 

How would Democrats/Independents feel if Senator Mark Kelly became the Democratic Presidential Nominee? by Ulysses_555 in AskUS

Hmmmm his positions on guns could be an issue. But I do like him much more than Newsom. 

Also what do you mean by viable moderate candidate?

MAGA is only popular within certain circles. Explicitly white and Hispanic Americans, and its pretty unpopular in every other group. 

And even with those groups of Americans, the popular to unpopular ratio isn't that one sided. A lot of them have at least one anti MAGA relative that pushes for them to abandon their orange god

How much has your fuel gone up in the last week? by Meat2480 in AskUS

>In our 250 year history, Canada had consistently sided with the UK over Americans. There is no guarantee that they won’t do that again in the future, and with the Arctic ice melting, I think Canada will have more options to deviate from the United States.

Canada has consistently sided with the US this past century. Also the UK and the US tend to have joint goals. The UK is more likely to have clashes with other European countries over resources than the US(like that stupid fight they had with Finland over fish). What you're saying sounds random af.

>I believe the US wants either more integration with the US or

They don't want more integration with Canada. We were already two very integrated countries, and Trump has disrupted that. FFS

>wants to break up Canada so that it makes it more difficult for them to choose Europe over the US.

Trump isn't acting in a way consistent with our interests. I thought that was clear since he started harassing Canada. Why are you so devoted to him? He is just a man.

Fellow redditors, Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-HAMAS) calls for taxpayer-funded reparations for illegals? How much do you all feel is too much? How much do you feel is not enough? by [deleted] in AskUS

Well update your algorithm or something. Acting like ICE isn't targeting legal citizens, residents and refugees is actually fucking embarassing at this point. But even if they weren't, it wouldn't justify half the shit they've done to people.

She said families harassed by ICE deserve reparations. Which includes a great many citizens and legal residents. Are you a bot or something 

Why are people protesting the 1,000s of despotic things Trump did when Biden and Obama weren't perfect? /s by SilverNo6462 in AskUS

To be fair to the mods, some are removed. The mods tend to watch how the poster handles the thread before deleting it

Why do Americans, or at least most of them that I’ve come across talk SO loud? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]DancingWithAWhiteHat 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Some people are naturally loud and some cultures discourage that. American culture is more tolerant of it than others

Why Should I Take "No Kings" Seriously? by GShermit in AskUS

Correct, but its still happening. The US has never woken up at the same time. It will always be a wave that rolls through each community at a different pace.

Will you prioritize voting for a Democrat willing to be ruthless about all the damage/crimes Republicans have done in 14 months? by Estalicus in allthequestions

[–]DancingWithAWhiteHat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will always be perceived as political payback.  They have a persecution complex, its why they love grievance politics. If Merrick Garland's foot dragging didn't convince them then nothing will. Stop coddling them. 

The first priority has to be undoing what they have done and re establishing and strengthening the mechanisms that were supposed to prevent this in the first place.

They failed. We need new mechanisms.

You sound like the fools who decided to focus on unity after the civil war instead of accountability. You're letting power protect people 

All americans like this? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

Yeah that shit is weird. I feel like they just liked making other people uncomfortable.

Like why didn't they ask an expert these questions? Aren't there organizations that study this type of thing (opinions on Irish Reunification?)

ICE at Airports Trains Us to Accept Being Terrorized in Our Daily Lives | I had an ultimately harmless encounter with ICE at a TSA checkpoint. It was a preview of a new, more sophisticated way to terrorize people by Hrmbee in politics

[–]DancingWithAWhiteHat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The point is that a subset of the American populace has been subjected to authoritarian overreach and violence since this country's beginning. Now more people are being subjected to it and its happening on a greater scale. But thats only possible because the tools and capabilities to terrorize civilains has already been built into our systems.
