Luckily the ACLU is already taking up the fight…

Buts it’s disgusting watching so many people defend it because he has a D by his name, thats what republicans did, and it didn’t take long to get to trump.

Throwing all your standards away is never a good thing.

The progressive policy?

Do what the Republicans do, but try to be quieter about it and blame Republicans when they get found out as fully complicit if not driving the agenda. Just like they are with everything else.

Back when this nation had a liberal presence?

Work on an affordable and quick path to naturalization, and roll out programs to normalize migrant refugees (IE: File taxes without an SSN) in anticipation of the naturalization being cheap enough and quick enough for the migrant refugees to undergo the process.

This is dumb…

Both parties unanimously agreed that it was in their best interest to get rid of the nonpartisan debate commission so that the choice would remain only between the two shit shows Dems and Republicans put up.

The parties are not part of our government, they’re private organizations with no responsibility to the US government or American citizens.

They can literally do whatever the fuck they want.

Don’t like?

Start voting against both parties favorite candidates and replacing them with pretty much anyone else.

Neither party is going to willing give up any of their power, and the government has zero overview of either.

Itll only change if we change the people running the parties.

I was thinking about exactly this earlier today: progressives are progressive because they take their direction from studies, experts, and observations. Conservatives are regressive because they invent studies, buy experts, and only observe anything that serves their confirmation bias.

The Democrats mistakenly believe that Republican voters want the government to function. If they did, Biden would be a perfect candidate: he’s drilling for more oil, he’s caging more immigrants, he’s owning the libs by going full police state on critics of “Israel,” he’s even conducting a genocide on a predominantly Muslim country (way more manly than a travel ban). The problem is, Republican voters aren’t paying attention to things that happen. Kinda like Democrat voters, who will think all the above things are bad again in about 9 months.

Straight up just listening to Behind the Bastards/It Could Happen Here, the Dollop, or Knowledge Fight will make you sound like a crazy person if you talk about them to someone who has no interest in history or current events

On their best behavior just before an election. This all changes after the election.

Obergefell and Loving will both be quickly struck down as soon as this election cycle is over. Get ready.

Yeah, I want to see the TST’s tenets up there next to the commandments. That ought to stimulate some interesting discussions.

For those not familiar,

One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.

The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.

One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.

The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one’s own.

Beliefs should conform to one’s best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one’s beliefs.

People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one’s best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.

Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.

Liberals, and I count myself as one, always bring this “need” argument. Meanwhile, there is no other right where they would question need.

I have shitloads of guns I don’t “need”. The vast majority are for fun. Even the more practical guns are mostly for fun.

Know why? Because I can do that if I want to. The 2A exists and the courts have historically upheld it. That’s one sentence, two facts.

While we’re at it, let’s question why the largest gun purchasing demographic “needs” guns. Ya know, women, minorities and LGBT folks. Go ask them.

Also, “The fascists are coming! Disarm yourselves! And if it’s not too much trouble, we’d like the government to know exactly who owns what.” (In case Trump wins again!?)

You’ve picked that same choice every four years for decades, and all it’s done is bring more fascism.

Don’t complain now that that fascism might effect you
