A big flaming stink posted:On the other hand, this is an entire thread of some prime leopards eating faces stuff I'm not sure if I got a bigger laugh from the part where he says all the guards are African immigrants who have been taught to hate America and beat them for singing the national anthem, or the part where he says THE GOVERNMENT HAS CANCELED ME and then describes how his imprisonment has cost him his business and his home. Because that's what canceling is. These psychos can't even issue a cry for help against (supposed) prison brutality without pandering to their audience's need for political purity.

Kavros posted:I think the texas abortion ban might have been designed intentionally to send to the supreme court, based on a strategy of purposefully including extremely horrible parts as sacrificial buffers. The upcoming Mississippi case is likely a decision between SCOTUS allowing TRAP laws to gut Roe without technically overturning it, or outright overturning it, so the Texas case won't matter by next summer. I'd guess they'll probably shoot down the Texas case, since it lets Roberts "preserve the image of the court", while also heading off any attempts by states like California to pass similar Calvinball laws allowing people to sue gun owners or something.

Manchin saying that Progressives aren’t compromising enough is good because, well, that’s what Progressives do. We have to violently drag people into this side of the 2000’s and not cater to this bumble-gently caress’s twisted idea of not supporting those that need it so that he can continue to get his yacht money in his poor-rear end state. Any sort of inch given up allows them to take a mile from us.

FlamingLiberal posted:We're going to be negotiating this bill until the heat-death of the universe "Says that progressives aren't compromising enough" That says it all right there. The bill has been reduced from 6 trillion to 3.5 trillion to 1.75 trillion, but the progressives "aren't compromising enough". It's literally "Give me everything I want and nothing you want and we'll call it bipartisan, ask for anything and I walk away" with Manchin. I hope Pelosi brings the bipartisan bill up to vote and the progressive caucus just kills it at this point. I'm happy they held off on voting for it, because this is how Manchin is acting WHEN THEY HAVE A BILL HE WANTS PASSED. Imagine how he would be acting if the Bipartisan bill had been passed.

Push El Burrito posted:Deplatforming conservative speech shouldn't just happen on Twitter it should happen everywhere including some random pilot on a Southwest flight. Generic criticism of elected officials (even coded) is hardly “conservative speech” or hate speech. Moving the goalposts on what those phrases mean undermines your ability to actually call them out - like applying the “Nazi” label to Romney undermined doing the same with Trump. More importantly, the end of that line of thinking results in: people critiquing DEAR LEADER are the ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE.

If the BIF passes alone, BBB will never follow. We knew this the moment moderate democrats tried to decouple them, and Manchin's dustup & whine about them not being decoupled only reinforces that.

He wants the BIF bill passed so he can vote down reconciliation. When he wants progressives to compromise, he means they need to discard all of their policy priorities. Compromise is "I get what I want and you get nothing" to Manchin.

Somehow that seems to be missing from this discussion. "Why should we care if they say 'gently caress Joe Biden' if he sucks?" Nobody cares to defend Biden, that's not the thing at all. The thing is that anyone posting a "Let's Go Brandon" meme or whatever is saying "I am very right wing and very online" and you should react to those two facts about this person accordingly.

I don't think we're getting a vote on the BBB until the CPC follows through on their threat to vote down the BIF bill. After that, we'll see if Manchin and Sinema become more willing to compromise.

Look, why don't you put up or shut up? Not everyone can risk their jobs and homes just to go commit crimes against political enemies. Some of us have families to take care of, why is this such a foreign idea to you? It's always folks like you that insist everyone else do the dirty work and risk everything.

Trazz posted:I think I'd probably get modded if I said "throw a Molotov through your racist uncle's window," but social consequences are a start I mean, do you actually think you should burn down the home of a racist relative in order to effect real change? I have a couple of more right-wing extended family members and I'm pretty sure if I went and burned their houses down it would not help either our personal relationship or effect any sort of political change. Does the idea need to scale up to be effective? If 1,000 of us burned down the homes of our right-wing relatives would that start to make a difference? e: I realize I am making an assumption here that when you said "throw a molotov through the window" you just want to burn down the racist uncle's home, and not that you should kill the racist uncle. If you meant actually kill your uncle then I apologize for assuming. How are u fucked around with this message at 20:30 on Nov 1, 2021 |
