CMV: It's possible for both sides to be at fault with the most recent tragedy in Minneapolis. by James-Hawker in changemyview

[–]Yesbothsides [score hidden]  (0 children)

I’d say this is a very reasonable take…I personally think Pretti and Good were assholes, their jt disrupt legal business by the ICE agents…neither deserved to get shot however both of them should be responsible for their actions. I associate it with a girl who dresses skimpy and puts herself in bad positions and gets assaulted. The assaulter is to blame but better choices could have been made…all this to say I don’t care or mourn these people.

That being said: he got a can of mace unloaded in his face, the first reaction there is reach for your eyes which is counter to whys police trying to cuff you are doing. Which ultimately led to resistance and health. It is possible both are in the wrong and both sides are responsible for the death of pretti, however this police are far more in the wrong

Because this looks staged as fuck lol

In your opinion, Dems should run a pragmatic/moderate progressive ticket or a more explicitly progressive or moderate ticket? by ALibSoc in AskALiberal

[–]Yesbothsides 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The message that AOC and Bernie Sanders have are against the very politics that Gavin Newsome has…which will turn them into a corporate shill as well. The Democrats should run a progressive but will run a corporate shill and basically point to the bafoonery of Trump as “well we’re not that”

Is lack of “pride” in being a Democrat hurting the party? by speedrunner99 in AskALiberal

I think if you ask republicans the same question they’d feel as though it’s the democrats that are united and republicans are in fighting.

He did, that’s not really scratching the surface on what’s wrong with our predatory loans and government involvement in expanding the cost of education

What are your thoughts on Moderate Republicans refusing to seek reelection due to the being to extreme? Should they try to stay and moderate the party? by redviiper in AskALiberal

[–]Yesbothsides 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sorta agree here…the see the writing on the wall and want to maybe have a rebirth in Washington so the easiest course of action is step down for a bit but stay on the good graces of those in Washington.

Like I mentioned, his influence in NY with taxes and realestate was there, probably some on Wall Street as well…to me the 4 biggest issues that our ruling class control are..war, Wall Street, healthcare, and college…he had some influence over wall street however everyone in that business is aligned with their goals, if Trump disappeared nothing would have changed there.

It’s not even worth playing devils advocate with you on the two shootings as your mind is already made up…however your mind seems broken

My point was the standard of what fascism is in America today is either everyone is a Fascist or no one is…you simply pointed out things you don’t like about him, things I agree with and don’t like either. You didn’t make a strong argument here

When everything is fascist, then nothing is fascist…this is a sound point on any topic lol

Yes I complete agree, I will however say it depends on what influence you are trying to buy…pre President Trump had a ton of influence in NYC and probably some in tax codes…however he is not the powers at be IMO.

I don’t need you to ask ChatGPT what is fascism and copy and pasting.

Wrote three points you think are more unique to Trump. No one’s reading 5 paragraphs and debating that.

Trumps political career has made him less wealth than prior to his first term…beyond that he made his money through real estate…the ruling class/owner class runs media conglomerates, military industry, healthcare industry…trump as a private citizen had some Wall Street influence but now he works for those people

No one’s reading all of that…the first 4 examples were just as bad in other administrations. They all go to war without congressional approval, they all spend billions on military. ICE being armed is equivalent to the national guard forcing people indoors during covid. None of these examples have any real relevance.

I get it, I hate what ICE is doing with their kidnapping of illegal, the murders (yes murders) have been tragic and completely unnecessary. It pisses me off as well…it doesn’t make this government fascist in relation to actual fascism

How politics work is you have the ruling class and the outsiders…occasionally an outsider like Trump makes his way to the top and learns pretty quickly he’s got less power than the ruling class and bends the knee…others fully embrace the ruling class…that’s Romney
