And you all told me the blue maga border bill that Republicans rejected was 4d chess.

    You’re absolutely right. Your position isn’t different in the least than anyone else using refugees and immigrants like political pawns.

            For calling Willem van Spronsen, a man who flung a few molotovs around and committed suicide by cop, a half-ass revolutionary?

                I’d do it myself, if I had an ounce of courage

                If courage is all that you lack to complete your convictions, you’re a shitty citizen.

                Me? I happen to believe in democracy, as messy and slow as it is. Guess I’m just not a big fan of oligarchies and autocracies.

                  Oh wow good thing I don’t support any of that then! Good thing those aren’t the only options!

                  And you think the US is a democracy? HAHAHAHA

                    And you think the US is a democracy?

                    So you weren’t planning on voting to begin with. So your entire fit here is just… what? Attention-seeking?

          You are a horrible person. You don’t see immigrants and refugees as humans worth saving. Every comment you make reveals your true character. You lack all empathy.

            I don’t see immigrants and refugees as humans worth saving… because I don’t equate Trump and Biden?

            Or because I think committing suicide by cop is a dumbass decision?

            Please, clarify.

              Because you think if 70% of the population believes we should dehumanize and imprison innocent people, then you’re just fine with that.

              YOU SAID IT, not me.

                I think that if 70% of the population thinks we should dehumanize and imprison innocent people, opposition is pretty clearly not a position that’s going to win a majority of the vote, which is necessary to win an election. Put another way - Truman running on desegregation in the late 1940s, but not gay marriage, was completely acceptable, because there was no fucking way the majority of the population was going to vote in favor of gay marriage.

                You address what problems you can with politicians - the rest, you have to change minds on the ground. You want to change this situation? Argue with your fellow citizens. Get them out of their mindset of border hysteria. But throwing a fit over how democracy works on a basic level isn’t going to help anyone.

                  So your answer is: Yes, you would support a genocide if 70% of the population supported it.

                  I know enough not to try talking any sense into you. I’ve seen that you’re nothing but a conservative status quo warrior. But I’m thankful anyone who sees this thread will be clear on what you are.
