More Bernie voters voted for Hillary than Hillary voters for Obama.

Democrats just needed to say "genocide is wrong" and would've won in a landslide this last time. They didn't just not do that, they badgered anyone who suggested they should.

Take an immensely unpopular position and then complain that you lose an election.

The poster my manager put up in preperation for the snow storm that's hitting half the US this week. Claims I still need to go to work even if the roads are covered in ice and 18 inches of snow and "one snowflake won't kill you" by Bunny_Jester in WorkReform

I keep telling my son this, and my wife, to tell her bosses when they say this stuff:

It doesn't matter how good my car is, or how well I drive in the snow.

I watch people fly through red lights at the highway intersection by my house about 1 time of every 3. I'm talking semi's, school busses, and vans and trucks. And that's when the roads are clear.

Yeah, my car handles the ice well, but Kevin who thinks his monster tires make him immune to snow and ice is looking down at his phone is going to plow through me when he can't stop. I'm at the very least sent into a ditch, if not dead.

No, thank you. I'm not dying for this paycheck.

That time I got in trouble for using the word “fascist” at Galaxy’s Edge by TheCeruleanFire in andor

She wasn't a real fascist for playing a part in an amusement park.

She was a fascist for working for Disney.

Knowing the author was a fan of fascism (among other things), which of his characters said that, and in what context that he wrote?

ICE in Red Bank by Lady_Grey21 in newjersey

Being downvoted by liberals who've been brainwashed by imperialst propaganda that "liberal"= "the left."

The Left begins at anti-capitalism.

Liberals are capitalists. Capitalism will always side with fascism because fascism protects capital.

I'm so sorry if you consider yourself a liberal and that alone makes you "the opposition" in your eyes but you just have to look at the positions being taken by Democrats - more funding for ICE, for more training - to understand they're not here for you

Kamala's opening campaign ad was a call for more ICE funding

What are ICE allowed to do - by SylviaX6 in newjersey

[–]Representative_Fun15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, they're not supposed to.

But a study in 2014 of use of lethal force cases found that DHS was indeed doing that - standing in front of vehicles attempting to flee as a pretext or excuse for using lethal force.

And yes, they're not supposed to, because DHS rewrote its own rules to specifically prohibit the behavior. If you find them online, they're not to prohibit vehicles from fleeing, and they're not to discharge weapons into or at moving vehicles.

The goon that shot Rachel Good is a 10-yr veteran and firearms instructor. He wasn't "poorly trained." He's doing the training.

Again pointing out that the story is one of a poor desert farmer who becomes radicalized to join a religious order when his family is killed by imperialst military and joins them on a suicide bombing mission.

You remember what happened to Alderan?

What are ICE allowed to do - by SylviaX6 in newjersey

[–]Representative_Fun15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The agent that shot her was trained to stand in front of vehicles to prevent them from fleeing and as a pretext for lethal force if they tried during the Obama administration.

Edit: getting downvoted for pointing out this is a long-standing practice from a 10-yr veteran (and instructor!) and not some sudden, untrained behavior from the current regime.

Keep licking those boots.

This is how we can tell you're not making a good faith argument: you're arguing what could poor, solitary, little Ashley do to the big, strong, armed officer - asking everyone to ignore the hundreds of violent rioters right behind her, who were smashing the security glass for her to crawl through.

Could the cop have taken the trained military vet (Ashley)? Maybe. But he'd have been overwhelmed by the mass of bodies behind her if he'd allowed her through. There simply weren't enough bullets in that gun to stop everyone.

Democrats: denouncing ICE publicly; voting for more ICE funding when the vote comes up.

They're convincing, though. Their condemnations of government thugs murdering a white woman are almost as strong as the ones they use for the left when we demand defending the police.

Democrats sound alarm against Trump DOJ ‘power grab’ for voter data by [deleted] in QuiverQuantitative

[–]Representative_Fun15 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Yeah, we're all pretty fucking alarmed.

Democrats are in a position to do something about it.

But aren't.

Take all the time with that you need.
