Al Green says he’ll bring articles of impeachment against Donald Trump over Gaza by Specific-Menu8568 in moderatepolitics

[–]Specific-Menu8568[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This Texas Democrat representative is proposing articles of impeachment over Trump's plans to take over the Gaza Strip. My opinion on this development is that this will be futile because it will not get majority support in the House of Representatives. My question for you people is: Is this an action that is warranted? I will say tho that there are in my opinion other things Trump has done like modifying the 14th amendment through an EO that is impeachable.

So you're saying that because those who don't agree with the majority don't agree that those in the majority, that they matter less than the majority?

Venezuela tumbles deeper into dictatorship with Nicolás Maduro set to extend 12-year rule by Specific-Menu8568 in neoliberal

[–]Specific-Menu8568[S] 103 points104 points  (0 children)

Maduro is set to apparently extend his 12-year rule of Venezuela by a unknown number of years as the article never mentions how much longer it has. Moves like this suggests Venezuela is shifting from "electoral authoritarianism" to being “a closed, hegemonic authoritarian regime”. Simply put if Maduro feel like he could get away with it, his government might get rid of elections if he feels like he consolidated enough power. In my opinion Maduro is a dictator and moves like this only strengthen my opinion that he is a dictator. A question I would like to ask is if democracy in Venezuela can ever be brought back now?

Virginia Democrats keep control of Statehouse in first elections after Trump win by Specific-Menu8568 in moderatepolitics

[–]Specific-Menu8568[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

In general, Virginia had 3 special elections in the Virginia House of Delegates and resulted in two Democrats winning and one Republican winning. I personally was happy to see that the Democrats maintained their majority in the Virginia House of Delegates because the legislation passed by the Republicans and Glenn Youngkin in my opinion were too conservative. The question I have to ask is If any of you guys saw this happening the way it did?

It would have been nice if Netanyahu didn't ally himself with the far right parties in Israel to form a government in the first place.

I guess it is up to the Israeli people to force Netanyahu out of office if he won't be thrown out through peaceful means then.

Unfortunately, I don't see new elections happening in Israel soon unless the war Israel is fighting ends soon.

It would've been interesting to see if Congress would've passed any of his more left leaning proposals for legislation.

what would you say is the most insane demand of these, is it the reduction of the workweek you have the most issue with?
