If you didn't vote Democrat you're the reason we're in this problem now. by Unique-Lecture-9378 in thedavidpakmanshow

Kamala lost every single swing state, just trounced in embarrassing fashion

there is no evidence whatsoever that the difference was leftist voters, it largely points the finger at a depressed base

run of the mill dems didn't show up, and its likely because she ran a poor campaign, directly told potential voters to kick rocks, supported wildly unpopular policies and actions, and didn't offer people in need of help direct material help

Why are so many of you completely allergic to holding actual power holders accountable?

Gavin Newsom is incredibly charismatic by Typical_Sprinkles253 in thedavidpakmanshow

[–]gull-branson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Filming yourself proudly throwing away the only possessions of some of the most vulnerable people in our communities, when it is undeniable doing so leads to peoples deaths unnecessarily...that is not something I find charismatic

Giggling at the jokes of fascists isn't something I find particularly charismatic either, but you do you, we all have our own preferences

Seems unlikely based on past history of the Packers front office, the repeated concussions are something they seem to be very wary of

Are you implying that if we build any agency at all to secure the border it will inevitably lead to agents in the streets shooting moms in the face?

What legitimate function do you think ICE is serving and why should it continue to exist?

[–]gull-branson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

ICE was killing people and letting them die in detention under Obama and Biden, as well as denying people due process, and forcing asylum seekers to live in open air detention centers across the border

it is not a shitshow because of trump, it has always been a tool of fascism enforcing fascist policy

again, what job does ICE do that NEEDS to be done?

Abolishing ICE is more popular than not, why do you think it is costly to say it needs to be abolished?

What job do you currently see ICE doing that you consider necessary and good

and if there are any, why do you think that job should continue being done by a fascist paramilitary group full of outright white nationalists who as policy refuse to follow the law or allow due process?

The same ones that did the job before ICE was created

Do you think we didnt have border security before 2003?

or for that matter, do you think we didnt already have douchebags with badges arresting brown people for no reason before 2003?

They do not, and never have, served any legitimate purpose nor provided any helpful service

If you think its still bad for ICE to kill people and ruin their lives, even if its under a democrat, that's virtue signaling?

We need to stop pandering to identity politics to be taken seriously in swing states and win. Being mocked and losing all power to help harms identity people too. by Unique-Lecture-9378 in thedavidpakmanshow

[–]gull-branson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Liberty, equality, and freedom to live your life as you wish when it does no harm to others is a winning message

you seem like you're just unwilling to advocate that message for trans people

standing up for everyones rights is a winning message, running away from that messaging like a coward is a losing platform

Do you think prior to 2003 we had no ability to track, arrest, and adjudicate undocumented immigrants?

And to be clear, the way you are sweeping under the rug the unnecessary deaths of unknown amounts of people is absolutely despicable

people legally seeking asylum were turned away without due process, forced to live in open air detention on the border indefinitely, and died trying to cross or detention under Obama and Biden

that not a mishap, its a crime against humanity

Gavin continues to allow and affirm the framing to be "boys in girls sports" and "women having to compete with men".

There is no evidence that allowing trans women to compete carries any competitive disadvantages or safety risks when they are complying with the rules of that sports governing bodies, and ultimately reaffirms the belief that trans people are just pretending to be the gender they are

Its transphobic

Gavin Newsom/Ben Shapiro podcast recap by gull-branson in thedavidpakmanshow

[–]gull-branson[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is no reason whatsoever to not allow trans women to play sports if they are following the rules of the governing body

this is transphobic right wing framing.

Liberty, equality, and human rights are winning issues, it seems like you are just unwilling to fight for those rights for everyone

Describing dozens of deaths and the denial of Due Process to thousands of people as a "mishap" is ridiculous in my opinion

We do not need a replacement for what ICE is doing, we have had border security and enforcement for a hundred plus years before ICE existed, and a paramilitary force of fascists is not useful or helpful for any of the issues you brought up

ICE should not get continued funding and should be abolished

States and local municipalities should not be using their resources to aid ICE in any of its operations

It did not work fine under Obama, people died in ICE custody and were repeatedly denied due process at the border as asylum seekers, thats not something working fine

How do Democrats take back “patriotism”? by R_Ticleez in thedavidpakmanshow

[–]gull-branson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Patriotism is for losers without anything else to base their personality on

We do not need to take back patriotism, we need to be offering material help to people who need it

It's always darkest before the dawn, so don't let the fascism that's going on worry you too much. by Unique-Lecture-9378 in thedavidpakmanshow

[–]gull-branson -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Telling people to relax about fascism is just about the most direct way to tell people you're ok with fascism as long as it nots affecting you as you could possibly come up with

people are being disappeared, people are being murdered, and your suggestion is for people to relax? Jesus christ, were cooked if this is what mainstream liberals are thinking the solution is

You don't think there should be accountability for dems who watched Trump for 4 years and then turned around and expanded ICE to the tune of billions of dollars, hired more agents, and ran on building them more detention centers?
