The republicans are not really governing: they are pandering. There’s no way such a measure could become law with the Democratic majority in the Senate. Even if such a measure became law, the Supreme Court would have to completely redefine due process for this to remain law, however, the Supreme Court did decide in favor of internment camps for Japanese American citizens, so I supposed this can not be ruled out.
Because of the Trumps presidency a lot of laws got changed that I would not have imagined possible. You don’t give the republicans enough credit for how much they can and will fuck up this country. The supreme court will have no trouble twisting the meaning of laws abd words to fit their agenda because they are not using laws in good faith.
This is the problem with Democratic voters turning on Biden over Gaza. The Republican stance is that all Palestinians are Hamas, and they should be either killed or exiled. “Not calling for a ceasefire quickly enough” isn’t a thing on the right, and it never will be.
The only thing those voters ask from Biden is to represent them too in this conflict. He doesn’t, so putting the blame on them if he loses the elections, is not fair.
Also he made it clear he doesn’t care about their voices, so all he has to do is replace those votes with Jewish voters I guess? Muslims and Jews make up 1% each of the entire US population (census 2020), so it’ll straighten itself out.
US Jews aren’t that closely alligned to Israel; particularly if you are talking about the current Israeli leadership (which a significant portion of Israelis also aren’t alligned with). Further, the preferences of US Jews is pretty corralated to their political party; where Jewish Republicans are far more pro Israel than Jewish democrats.
Also, biden’s biggest problems right now are that more black and Latino voters are moving to the republican side. The polling today was really worrying.
Latinos are very religious in general. That leads to them having very conservative views, and easily voting for republicans. Really odd with most republicans wanting to deport all of them, even naturally born ones, but they have that lean.
Boy are you in for a surprise when you find out that “cutting off your nose to spite your face” is slipping more and more towards the face not having a nose anymore.
That’s an odd response to what I wrote…what I said is that the two choices are becoming more and more evil, not that they are evil in the first place. Which is not how that phrase has typically been used (to justify selecting the lesser of the two evils).
Which, side note, may make sense in the context of, there are actually only two choices. But what we do is collectively lock ourselves into those two choices and then choose between them, when there are not only other parties and independent candidates we could support, but entirely separate political systems we could move to.
Since when has Russia ever been a leftist state, oh right, never. It was an authoritarian state during the USSR that called itself communist. Now it is a “democratic” authoritarian state. Sweden which is a socialist democracy is far closer to socialism than the USSR ever was, and it’s a wonderful country. I had members on my team that lived there.
although you are correct about foreign policy i’d like to differ on the internal policy
Internally it seems no different either, the Reps forward racism and extortion, the dems dont do anything to stop it and in fact keep anything from undoing the republican’s changes
they’re really quite the same, the dems just have a blm sticker on as they increase funding for the militarized police state
On this issue yes, on other issues, no. See: Republicans wanting to cut all support to Ukraine so that Daddy Vladdy can win his war.
Don’t forget that the 2016 DNC hack was accompanied by an equal hack of the RNC, it’s just that the Republican info was saved as kompromat where the Democratic info was released in the short term to damage them and help Trump win the election so Putin could have his puppet in the White House.

you crazies think the republicans support putin? are you fucking deranged?
once again americans lean on the good ol reliable of “THOSE FUCKIN RUSSIANS” whenever they fuck up. This is extremely pathetic, your politics are that of a child.
those are terrible names, except maybe moscow mitch that one has potential
and who said i support putin, the bastard is a neoliberal cuck for oligarchs that rape the people of the post soviet world.
Oh baby, then all of america is a putin stooge, they’re the ones that put him in office! The russian federation is a monstrosity of america’s own hand. You would have been better off leaving the east alone. You americans started this war, these are all america’s monsters.
Again though, america pulls the strings, only an absolute ideological cuck would think something as stupid as (don’t laugh) AMERICA BEING CONTROLLED BY RUSSIA
Putin stooge im dying
if anything the republicans would only want russian allies to end the world in a war with china.
Our nations birthday and where are all these traitorous fucks? Taking orders from Putin.
And no. America did not put Putin in power. He made a power play on Yeltsin and had the presidency handed to him. Being the former head of the KGB, he knows how to press people to get what he wants. America also did not start the Ukrainian war, that started when Putin invaded in 2014 and stole Crimea. It can end today, Putin just had to go home. America should’ve bombed his personal mansion(s) for Crimea too, as we swore to defend Ukraine against an aggressive Russia when Ukraine gave up their nukes but Obama’s a bitch.
If you really believe your astroturfing you haven’t paid any attention to American party politics in, at least, the last 10 years. I know, cuz I do, almost religiously. Some people follow sports, some people like celebrities. I read, in this order, my cities, my counties, my states, then national, and finally international geo-politik. Political science/economics/philosophy are what I’m all about and not a fucking word of anything youve said has even an ounce of coherency to it.
More accurately it’s Putin supports the Republicans, and he’s financing the far right in every other western nation as well. World’s richest man and all, Putin owns them.
Republicans: *repeat Russian propaganda, spend major US holidays in Russia, are played on Russia state TV, try to defund Ukraine.*You: obviously they don’t support Russia!
Obama expanded the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, massively increased the drone strikes and continued the support for Saudi Arabia (the country that financed 9/11 and the nationality of the majority of those involved).
When it comes the US foreign policy, neither side is the good guy.
The US is an imperialist murder machine, i don’t really care if some say they support my right to live or not. They’ll just kill me in the water riots like anyone else.
“this entire country’s inhabitants can get fucked because their government arbitrarily decides to bomb people and won’t listen when the people say stop, I will tell you that not all of them want me dead but I don’t care because the apocalypse is coming”
It’s even more horrifying. America does have 2 parties, it’s just they’ve collectively dragged the overton window so far right that the “left” party is still to the right of most countries (extreme) “right” parties.
Similar results, but require very different fixes.
Watching, as an outsider, there’s not. That fact is truly horrifying. The democrats are roughly aligned with the UK conservative party. Shitty but tolerable. The republicans are way off in the sticks, with no comparison.
By analogy, democrats are like being shot in the gut with a high power paintball gun. The republicans are like being shot with a high caliber revolver. Both involve getting shot, both are unpleasant, but one is still FAR worse than the other.
Unfortunately if you don’t choose 1 then you will likely end up with even more.
The issue is that trying not to play, just plays into the hands of the extremists.
I watched something similar play out with Brexit. It was less a shit sandwich and more a firehouse of diarrhea shoved down our collective throat. It’s been less than pleasant. The people who were disinterested and didn’t vote made a huge difference. They didn’t want a shit sandwich, so got the fire hose with the rest of us.
The “both sides are the same” is a concern troll phrase. It’s almost always used by people whose views align extremely well with the republican party. It’s generally used as “both are the same, so why bother voting” though wrapped in more words.
Basically your sounding off with a right wing dog whistle, and people are reacting to it.
If that’s people’s take then I suggest reading comprehension classes. I’m done being polite to idiots. The republican party can remove itself from the planet in whatever way it sees fit, I’m not picky. And if people can’t grasp that I’m saying the republican party is vastly shittier, then we’ll I guess I’m done trying to explain.
Just remember communication is a 2 way street. Others don’t have the context you do. Also, not everyone was raised in the same culture as you, or even using the same language.
If one person appears to be an idiot, then it could happily be true. If everyone seems to be an idiot, it’s worth a proverbial look in the mirror, the issue might be your side of things.
