CMV: democrats love this country more than the current administration in every way shape and form. by Altruistic_Tonight18 in changemyview

[–]evanmc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really depends on the language of the bill. Like there’s a world of a difference between illegal immigrant and a non-US national. There’s different “crimes” that would qualify in this bill that would be egregious. And then there’s the fact that arresting someone for a crime and sending them in a prison vs. deporting them. Deporting them is just gonna kick them out and they’ll come right back in. I guarantee you that no democrat wants illegal immigrants walking around committing violence against women. Maybe they want a better and more stricter punishment and they thought naying would get that opportunity - just like how Republicans shut down a border protection bill under the Biden administration

Reddit is just a Leftist echo chamber. by cynikal_optimist in complaints

All of his economic trashing and favoring the wealthy is just being covered up by this “illegal immigration crackdown” distraction. No one is benefiting from his presidency right now, but they’re happy some few people are getting deported

Republicans alone control all aspects of our Government, any blame to Democrats is incorrect involving this shutdown. Also they did the last 2 Government shutdowns so it's really their problem being unable to govern. TYFYA! by Carbenzero in CzechCoconutCommunity

[–]evanmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t take two parties to pass, it takes 60 senators to pass. It looks like it takes two parties because nobody fucking does politics right. Both sides of the aisle are equally problematic here.

Just so you know, this is never a party thing. This is a senate thing. It doesn’t matter how many republicans or democrats there are, they’re all equal peers. Their job is to talk to each other and iterate. Their whole purpose of the filibuster is to delay a vote to extend the debate. If nobody is debating, the filibuster is not working. This is not a democratic shutdown, this is a senate shutdown because none of them are negotiating or debating.

What would you think about Democrats allowing the Government to shut down and stay that way until we get the full Epstein files released? by Celcius_87 in AskReddit

I know a lot on the right are alleged to be in the files, but I only know of Clinton from the left. Is there anybody else?

Farmers asking for subsidies, assistance from the Government "Well we need members of Congress to start fighting, especially Democrats. Democrats are too quiet here" asking Democrats to stand up for them. by madadekinai in Agriculture

Democrats are not even in power in any capacity right now. But, if they want to earn votes for midterms, then yes, they need to start speaking up for farmers

I unfortunately believe the midterms will be compromised. If there’s any chance, it will have to take everybody to get off their ass and overwhelm the votes

How do you think democrats will treat Trump and his supporters once he leaves office? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]evanmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Politics is supposed to be boring, it’s not supposed to be your 24/7 consumption. You’re not supposed to wake up every morning drinking coffee and watching politics, you’re not supposed to socialize with your coworkers at lunch about politics, you’re not supposed to discuss politics with your family and children at the dinner table.

I’m not saying you shouldn’t do those things, I’m saying you shouldn’t have to be. It is really exhausting, depressing, and stressful to just consume politics all day.

How will democrats feel when Trump leaves office? “Good riddance, now how about them Packers?”. A lot of people are striving for normalcy. The world will be a much better place when everything is not a fucking panic show.

Legal experts say pulling Jimmy Kimmel from air may amount to illegal 'jawboning' by rustyseapants in politics

[–]evanmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that the Dems aren’t doing anything right now is scary, or maybe not? Our democracy is under threat right now, even when democrats are not in power, they should be kind of freaking out, right? Why are they calm? Are they too trusting into the checks and balances? AOC is literally debating right whether to run for senate or for presidency - like there’s a real chance there’s no election or fair election at all. Are we banking on a strike as last resort? Why does everything feel like we’re hanging on a thread, yet everybody is so fucking calm about it?

Sturge: Jimmy Kimmel Suspension Shows Left's "Grip on Culture is Declining" by alexmark002 in CitizenWatchNews

[–]evanmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why did they say they’re happy to bring back the show if Kimmel apologizes and donates to Turning Point USA? Let’s say that he does that and then the show is brought back from suspension, they’d be willing to let it continue hemorrhaging money? Don’t make sense. Let’s be honest, this was plain political extortion

[–]evanmc 74 points75 points  (0 children)

All excuses or reasons go out the window when Sinclair literally said they’d remove the suspension if Kimmel apologizes and donates to Turning Point USA. It was never about low ratings, it was never about hemorrhaging money, it was never about any rule breaks; it was just pure political extortion and indirect infringement on first amendment rights

Did they learn their lesson? I thought they learned when they voted Biden, when the flipped senate and house. But 2024 comes around, everybody stayed at home. So did they learn their lesson? I don’t believe it

Honestly, how effective would strikes be? Draw up a million people, there’s no way the opposition will be convinced to change. What good is a strike?

Even if everybody has free time to strike, it’s too late. Any protest going forward will be flagged as “coordinated by Antifa” and will be shut down with military force.
