Cause this definitely would not have been happening if they had won AND Trump wants to kill all everyone in Gaza for his own benifit with American control so the genocide point is moot!
Everyone downvoting me is in denial about how much they fucked everybody
I don’t live in the US, but I do read serious history and keep up with news outside of your warhawk corporate media. The only difference to us has been that your dumbfuck president doesn’t know how to do like democrats and find a nice way to say why he’s bombing, jailing, killing, stealing from the rest of the world.
Absolutely none of this shit is new, just now CNN and the NYT and the Atlantic are acknowledging it happens and liberals can finally pretend the great big industrial murder machine was built in a day by Trump and not a day before he came in.
This thread is literally about the government detaining legal immigrants who were opposing the genocide. Which party is detaining them?
Would this still have happened if the democrats won? Cause the war in Gaza is still going on, and the Orange man now wants the property for himself so all the Gazians need to go! So seems like your whining all the time has actually caused things to get worse! Congrats
The democrats put the laws in place to persecute protestors and they absolutely detained them before Trump ever got there, back when y’all were denying genocide. Stop pretending your country is only a fascist apartheid state when there’s a guy you didn’t vote for at the helm.
Stealing votes? Lmao are you fr? Did the fucking hamburglar sneak into the ballot box and swipe em? Democrats aren’t owed a fucking thing. I swear you libs forget that they’re supposed to convince you to vote for them, not chide and shame you into saying “yes master thank you master so kind of you master” when they roll out the latest piece of shit Wall Street picked for you.
Wisconsin and Michigan could have potentially flipped states if it was solely Biden vs Trump. Lost by 1%, and in both cases independents got combined more that 1% of the vote.
Just the first 2 stars in looked at though.
Let’s not even go into all the people that were bashing Biden and Harris getting others to belive they’re evil and not to vote for them.
So, I literally just went to 2 states and looked if the independent vote total was greater than the difference between the the 2 main candidates. Was it perfect, no, but it was late and I didn’t notice you answered earlier.
But every 3rd party vote was thrown away. Cause they’re no second, third, or fourth place. So in a race for first, where the first place winner is a shit show for most everyone if one guy wins, people spent their time and energy urging everyone to vote for someone besides Harris.
All this to say, your side fractured us too much and now the side that wants to kill us both is in charge.
This is the second time I’ve said this today, pay attention to what instance you’re commenting on. Tankies are the same as fascists, and .ml is fucking stuffed with tankies (not actually all of them, but roundabouts half of them. .ml is still worthwile for free and open source software kinda things, but on politics holy god damn fucking shit).
Fascist apologia from libs, who could have seen that coming? If y’all really believed marxist leninists and fascists were the same you would have already resisted fascists like you would if y’all saw black people getting reparations or indigenous people getting their land back.
You know it’s amazing how often you see these comments. One would think that the point had been made enough by now. It’s almost as if they’re being purposely reused over and over and over in some kind of effort to keep resistance to the rise a fascism disunified. Like some kind of astroturfing campaign almost, something surely we’ve not seen happen often in the last decade or so…
The utter lack of personal responsibility and reflection a lot of Americans have really makes me think you fuckers are never gonna have a Kollektivschuld moment. Jesus christ.
Yes. Me trying to stop the man who’s CURRENTLY detaining LEGAL immigrants cause he openly said he was going to by wanting to vote in a flawed but immeasurably better and willing to be progressive candidate makes me the irresponsible one.
Didn’t you hear Schumer? The function of the Democratic Party is to sheepdog the left into supporting genocide. Democrats aren’t even trying acting as an opposition and he voted to keep Trump’s government open.
Awesome. Keep throwing that argument out there instead of acknowledging that the party in power is proud they are forcibly detaining legal immigrants and boasting about getting more
Oh, and the president is using his executive powers to say it’s a national emergency what these legal immigrants were saying and doing so he’s allowed to deport them since we’re at war, so even if the government was to shut down the kidnappings would continue.
It definitely hasn’t been brought to attention that democrats aren’t perfect. Forget that if the government did shut down the democrats would be blamed for that too since people would die that way too and all yall want to do is blame the democrats
Okay, but if I pull a lever it will do the same thing as if Chuck Shuemer pulled the lever.
To be clear, I guess this saying applies more to production machinery rather than more complex machines like cranes with a ton of different levers. The lever on a welding press does one thing and you can’t make it do something else by pulling the lever. A crane can do a ton of stuff because it has lots of levers that do different things - you can even break the machine just by pulling the levers wrong.
On reading your original comment I realised you are right. It doesn’t matter who pulls the lever.
I’m just being a bit oversensitive about dangerous operation of machinery.
They’re saying Schumer is making the decisions for everyone, and if Schumer just changed his vote and made better decisions everything would have been better for the whole party. Is that not correct?
biden was already illegally detaining and deporting immigrants. this is nothing new.
my country received weekly planes filled with shackled people they deported back without explanation or their belongings. the concentration camps at the borders were a thing too.
i also recall black vans abducting and dissappearing protesters in both the trump and biden terms.
just because he wasnt boasting about it openly, doesnt mean it wasnt already fascism. you can’t vote fascism away, especially when the options presented are fascism and diet fascism.
The concentration camps Trump set up his first term, then Biden had to spend his time trying to reel back and reconnect kids with their family but took waaay longer cause everything was so fucked up? Again, due to Republicans.
Also, immigrants have been deported loooooong before Biden came to term. That’s been a forever thing, made easier by the patriot act, which was implemented by Bush, a republican.
But again, this is about one side boasting about taking over 300 legal college age immigrants that spoke out against the current administration. And said side bragging about how it’s going to continue. All for speaking out against a genocide THAT YOUR SIDE APPARENTLY HOLDS IN SUCH HIGH REGARD.
That has never happened under democrat reign. No white washing or lies you tell will make that true
How come Republicans can break any laws they want and obstruct everything Democrats try to accomplish when they’re out of power, but Democrats are powerless to inhibit Trump even slightly?
Because MAGA and co are doing things that are unprecedented. And when democrats try to do anything, not only are they strong armed by MAGA, but the people thelat are supposedly on their side complain that it’s never good enough.
It’s literally impossible for Democrats to win when one side hails one person as king and the other can’t even decide on who may possibly be good enough to think about doing the right thing
again, the boasting does not matter in the grand scheme of things. and all the grandstanding, including pretending to be undoing the brutality of the concentration camps, is meaningless.
Also, immigrants have been deported loooooong before Biden came to term.
exactly what i mean, summed up. fascist country has always done fascist shit, and somehow the “heroes” try so hard but are always unable to undo it, while the fascists always get their way immediatly. i wonder why THAT is 🤔
its almost like, again, you can’t vote fascism away.
Because one side bands together and makes sure whatever their leader wants he gets, and the other side is not only fighting against dirty tactics from the opposition but can’t get the support from most of the people who hate the same opposition.
One person on their side goes against what Trump wants and they’re publicly ridiculed. On the democrat side, no matter what the leader does it’s going to make most of the like minded people mad in some way and causes in fighting.
Actually leftists are what exactly? What socialist theory describes these actual leftists that what, support the second most powerful capitalist political party in the world (Democrats)?
Good thing we didn’t vote for Harris! That would have been terrible!
Jesus Christ do democrats ever shut up
Cause this definitely would not have been happening if they had won AND Trump wants to kill all everyone in Gaza for his own benifit with American control so the genocide point is moot!
Everyone downvoting me is in denial about how much they fucked everybody

Yes. Democrats have always been happy to forcefully detain legal immigrants, i totally forgot!
Get tf out of here with your bad take
Democrats never found a genocide they won’t apologize for
This thread is literally about the government detaining legal immigrants who were opposing the genocide. Which party is detaining them?
Would this still have happened if the democrats won? Cause the war in Gaza is still going on, and the Orange man now wants the property for himself so all the Gazians need to go! So seems like your whining all the time has actually caused things to get worse! Congrats

Oh, you mean the laws put into place by Republican favorite Ron DeSantis? Cause that definitely wasn’t put into place by democrats.
Stop mixing up your timeliness and putting all the blame on democrats
Things haven’t gotten worse in Gaza, you’ve just stopped denying what’s happening. In that sense, Trump has been better for Gaza.
Let me ask you this, what has any third party candidate done recently besides steal votes when it mattered? Where is thier fight now?
Stealing votes? Lmao are you fr? Did the fucking hamburglar sneak into the ballot box and swipe em? Democrats aren’t owed a fucking thing. I swear you libs forget that they’re supposed to convince you to vote for them, not chide and shame you into saying “yes master thank you master so kind of you master” when they roll out the latest piece of shit Wall Street picked for you.
You also didn’t answer the question, you just want to jump on making fun on someone. Very telling
So, what has Jill Stein been up to since receiving her 100% earned and definitely not just put there to cause a distraction among non-MAGA votes?
What states did Trump win because Stein votes? Or PSL?
Wisconsin and Michigan could have potentially flipped states if it was solely Biden vs Trump. Lost by 1%, and in both cases independents got combined more that 1% of the vote.
Just the first 2 stars in looked at though.
Let’s not even go into all the people that were bashing Biden and Harris getting others to belive they’re evil and not to vote for them.
So you think the entirety of “independents” are leftists? You’re counting RFK and Libertarian party votes as leftist votes in your calculations?
Also, 312 - 25 (MI + WI) delegates is 287. Trump still wins. Try again.
You and your party clearly didn’t learn anything from 2016 and the reaction + disillusionment to the Obama years.
So, I literally just went to 2 states and looked if the independent vote total was greater than the difference between the the 2 main candidates. Was it perfect, no, but it was late and I didn’t notice you answered earlier.
But every 3rd party vote was thrown away. Cause they’re no second, third, or fourth place. So in a race for first, where the first place winner is a shit show for most everyone if one guy wins, people spent their time and energy urging everyone to vote for someone besides Harris.

protesting the genocide in gaza. actually got arrested for it.
Nope, that happened before the election. She only just now received the charges for it this month though
Try again.
oh, in that case, dealing with corrupt officials trying to silence her. it’s just another day for jill.
As if she’s the only one dealing with that
You’re Laughing Your Ass Off in a thread about the government openly bragging about deporting legal immigrants but yeah democrats are the baddies
This is the second time I’ve said this today, pay attention to what instance you’re commenting on. Tankies are the same as fascists, and .ml is fucking stuffed with tankies (not actually all of them, but roundabouts half of them. .ml is still worthwile for free and open source software kinda things, but on politics holy god damn fucking shit).

If you think imma debate a tankie, then you’re as stupid as you think I am. No. Instead, I push the “you go away forever” button, and move on.
I’m not interested in debate, if there were anything to be gained from a conversation with closet fascists we’d already be in Star Trek territory.
About a fuckup of global implications? Well no, they shouldn’t

Yeah i was actually agreeing with you. But knock yourself out
Ok well then I am sorry. I misunderstood and have been arguing so I didn’t switch it off.
Sorry and thank you
Edit: looking back, you didn’t have to include me in the “you fuckers” if you weren’t attacking me
Didn’t you hear Schumer? The function of the Democratic Party is to sheepdog the left into supporting genocide. Democrats aren’t even trying acting as an opposition and he voted to keep Trump’s government open.
That’s the Democratic Party. Always had been.
With friends like these, who needs enemies?
Yeah. Blame it all one one single democrat again! It’s never anyone else’s fault but a single democrat!
8 of them voted with Trump to get the finance bill passed.
Out of how many?
Including their leader who is still their leader so Democrats must approve of it.
Awesome. Keep throwing that argument out there instead of acknowledging that the party in power is proud they are forcibly detaining legal immigrants and boasting about getting more

It is convenient when you can win discussions by ignoring arguments.

A single democrat? It’s the whole fucking party! He’s their leader and he’s telling us what the party exists to do.
Yup and everything that’s going wrong with the world his Schumers fault because of it.
Find out next week which democrat Lemmy is going to pin everything on instead of banding together to defeat the actual problem!
It’s just His Turn to be in charge, he’s not special. If a different Democrat was the leader they’d behave the exact same way.
The machine operates the same no matter who pulls it’s levers. He just said the quiet part out loud.
As a complete aside (not referring to Democrats etc) I’m pretty sure pulling levers affects how a machine operates.
Okay, but if I pull a lever it will do the same thing as if Chuck Shuemer pulled the lever.
To be clear, I guess this saying applies more to production machinery rather than more complex machines like cranes with a ton of different levers. The lever on a welding press does one thing and you can’t make it do something else by pulling the lever. A crane can do a ton of stuff because it has lots of levers that do different things - you can even break the machine just by pulling the levers wrong.
So, maybe the saying isn’t as pithy as I thought.

Voting machine levers not so much. [Princeton & Northwestern] Study: US is an oligarchy, not a democracy
Please, for you own sake, get a reading tutor. You seem to be having a lot of trouble with reading.
They’re saying Schumer is making the decisions for everyone, and if Schumer just changed his vote and made better decisions everything would have been better for the whole party. Is that not correct?
To quote her:
And her backing is because that’s what Schumer said!
To quote, since it was literally the first sentence of the rebuttle:
Yes, how terrible that your team didn’t get to keep being the ones doing the genocide.
i agree. diet fascism would also have been terrible.
Yeah! A mild heart attack that teaches you you need to do better is just as bad as a severe heart attack that kills you!
except it didnt seem like you learned the lesson repeatedly, so a not mild one happened.
