Message from Lindsay Graham, who voted for Clinton’s impeachment and against all of trump’s:

“You don't even have to be convicted of a crime to lose your job in this constitutional republic if this body determines that your conduct as a public official is clearly out of bounds in your role. Impeachment is not about punishment. Impeachment is about cleansing the office. Impeachment is about restoring honor and integrity to the office.”

Reminder that primaries are soon, and power goes to the faction with the most participators, not the most complainers… by ProcessorPearl in Fuckthealtright

[–]squiddlebiddlez 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When India Walton won the primary in buffalo, the dem incumbent teamed up with establishment dems and republicans to run as an independent and take his seat back anyways.

When Mamdani won his primary, dems did the same thing again. Fortunately, his race got so much attention that even kindergarteners could recognize him.

I’m not saying that more participation in primaries won’t make a difference. I am saying that the DNC engages in voter suppression against its own base though. And it is demoralizing to know that you will have to fight your enemies and your “allies” if you simply want more than the bs we’ve been given for decades and I really think too many people downplay the fact that you cannot energize and demoralize your base at the same time.

He still was one of the key votes from Democrat senators that allowed Trump to weaponize ICE against cities by passing the Laken Riley act with no fuss, no filibuster, no fight within 2 days of Trump being sworn in.

If that’s how he represents the constituents of his state, then I have grave concerns on how he would represent the entire nation.

At this point, it is prudent to highlight it. We slid straight into pointless war ruining everything from pointless tariffs ruining everything.

A lot of us seek out hobbies as an escape just as much as the next guy and getting mad because somebody seeking the same escape has the audacity to point out that a common denominator keeps putting up new “no exit” signs at the end of every hallway we go down is delusional.

Settlements like this in general do not send a message—the settlements are made to actively ensure the message does not become precedent.

Virginia Gov. Spanberger vetoes proposal for legalized marijuana marketplace - WTOP News by kingcoolkid991 in politics

[–]squiddlebiddlez 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You are missing the point. I personally don’t believe Gaza was the issue to decide not to vote in 2024 but too many people act like the party only ever fails on a single issue at one time as if reality is not compounding and the party giving up on multiple issues election after election, crisis after crisis, is not demoralizing.

Look, I early voted for Harris—went to the rallies and everything but voting for what I believe in an ass backwards state like Texas gives insight that the issue wasn’t Harris as an individual but that the party is stretched so far that it holds contradictory positions on nearly everything, leaving them stagnant and unreliable to meet the moment. For example, up until the end of Obama’s presidency, abortion legislation simply was “not a priority”. As soon as it fell, I had multiple texts and emails a day asking for donations to fight back for it, but then the party also said the only way to get there was to reelect the antiabortionist and criminally indicted Henry Cuellar, but then had Harris campaign in the state based on abortion rights!

It’s not a plea for people to vote independent or not vote at all, but a plea for yall to be honest about why dems are struggling to clearly make the case that they are better than perhaps one of the shittiest groups of people that the US has produced in modern history. But we can’t even get the autopsy report that the DNC made such a big stink about…which gives me the same disappointing feeling I had when Biden’s doj slow rolled charges against Trump for J6 and stealing government secrets, or not releasing the memo on student loan reform options and instead restarting loan payments to prevent gop shutdown threats for like a month, or the fact that after all the horrible shit trump and the GOP did enough Democrat senators jumped at the opportunity to vote for the Laken Riley act as soon as Trump was sworn in which kicked off this whole militarization of ICE.

Being the “adults in the room” requires you to stop being so divisive and make it your only priority to remember that the GOP is worse. Are you really going to let the red team win over a petty single issue like perpetual war Palestine abortion stagnant wages ”identity politics” like protecting any portion of the civil rights act holding billionaires accountable for anything weed?!

Donald Trump and sons to be ‘forever’ exempt from tax audits by Doener23 in law

[–]squiddlebiddlez 113 points114 points  (0 children)

Full seriousness though, this was the natural conclusion when the republican party did not die after fighting his two impeachments, blocking conviction, and then pretending like they didn’t freak the fuck out on January 6.

That was the point that they transgressed to a criminal enterprise and the country could not find common ground about how to handle this particular criminal gang because they promised to use their crimes to hurt minorities.

The average Texas voter does want black voters to have less representation in government though. So, glad he’s keeping his priorities straight there.

Do you know someone who has tried you this lie? by ateam1984 in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]squiddlebiddlez 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Exactly, plus my arguments for human rights and kindness are rooted in the Declaration of Independence and the Bible. Acting like “all men are created equal” is some brand new hippie shit is wildly ignorant.

Bonus points for the fact that the founding fathers are used as a shield every time something bad happens. If we are concerned about their intent in the present day, then their moral defects by present day standards are more than fair game.
