Boris Galerkin posted:Something that you, and most people, can do right now is to stop eating meat. That alone is probably the biggest most impactful thing any of us without money or power can do. The next best thing is 'stop eating beef', because beef ranching is worse that almost all other human agriculture combined.

I think hardly anyone here is genuinely concerned by the national security implications of Trump's idiocy, or is going out of their way to defend Biden. You're jerking off and pretending you're making a principled stand against the thread hivemind.

Government officials using their offices to enrich themselves is directly related to any complete impeachment proceedings, because many of Trump's crimes are using his office to enrich himself.

Xombie posted:Again: the enoulments clause doesn't apply to one's non-public-employee family. The family of politicians do not get automatically banned from making money. It's still unethical for a politician to use insider influence and knowledge to enrich their family. It's not as cut-and-dry, but we shouldn't pretend it's not an issue worth discussing. Like Kushner has been blatantly using Trump's influence to enrich himself the entire administration.

Biden's crimes, should it turn out anything actionable exists or may exist, are relevant to this thread. If it's just 'Biden is a bad dude who sucks' then that's more primary thread stuff.

Zotix posted:Anyone else feel like Moscow Mitch sees the writing on the table at this point and almost wants to get the impeachment over so that if need be they can get an actual strong Republican candidate on the ticket instead of those that are primarying Trump right now. With Mitch allowing schumers resolution to go through last week with no objection, and then today saying he'd allow an impeachment trial to commence without objection. It almost is as if he knows this info is pretty damning and he's all for getting Trump out, letting whomever takeover for 12 months(Pence or Pelosi) and then getting a real RNC backed candidate up front and center to rival the Dems starting at the beginning of the year. Absolutely not. A third of the republicans in the senate voting to remove Trump from office would cause an irreparable schism.

Dr. Red Ranger posted:This is my reading too. She's probably not just not thinking the entire comparison through; it sounds more insensitive than malicious. It's an odd comparison for sure but I don't think we ever had Hillary pegged as entirely sensitive and compassionate anyway. It reads as 'old lady tries and fails to be woke'.

To be perfectly clear here, the following topics are directly US Politics but have been relegated to their own threads for various reasons: ---The democratic presidential primaries -------Topics for this thread: the candidates themselves when they appear in the news in contexts outside of the horse race & debate and discussion of policies that may or may not be endorsed by various candidates -------Topics for the primary thread: horserace topics (polling, markets, punditry) & campaigning for a particular candidate ---The ethics of protest voting and electorialism ------Topics for this thread: why the democrats are bad & why the democrats are good ------Topics for the protest voting thread: why you should or should not vote for democrats that are bad This isn't always easy to seperate but this is what we're trying to work with.

Prester Jane posted:All Russia has done is pour fuel on the fire that America built. Russia didn't cause these problems, we did. All Russia's done is exploit and inflamed are internal tensions for the benefit of their own agenda. Yeah it's this. Pretending that our own cultural failings are the result of outsider propaganda is actively detrimental to making efforts to fix them, and reinforces toxic American exceptionalism and imperialism.

mod sassinator posted:You can build the best wizard of oz fantasyland you want, but if outside actors are attacking it with disinformation campaigns it will fall apart. We're both on the same page that poo poo is hosed--it's just a matter of arguing over whether we should stop the attackers first or rebuild first. No, they can only exploit what's already there. Russia didn't cause slavery and Jim Crow and the brutal suppression of the civil rights movement. Russia didn't cause the United States to destabilize large swathes of the world in the name of empire. Russia didn't cause us to warp our economic system to be so exploitative as to risk total collapse.

mod sassinator posted:You're not helping with backhanded bullshit. Grow up, if you're trying to paint everyone here as racist for not wanting to deep dive into polemics about the history of race and power... that's your issue to sort out. There are comfortable (and uncomfortable!) white liberals who want to help and see this poo poo end, even after Russian or other interference is stopped. Arguing and raging against them is just amplifying the divisions. If you're blaming Russia for 'amplifying racism' you're not actually interested in solutions. You're interested in deflecting blame so you don't have to address the real problems.
