Why do y’all get so bruised when extremely valid critiques are leveled against the democrats?
blame democrats for everything republicans do
Uh, Joe Biden was not a republican. Neither was Obama. And it should be clear the Democrat senators are also not Republicans…
Lamo to be spouting constitutionalist hopium at this stage of the descent.
These [rights] are explicitly given by the Constitution and cannot be taken away.
Then explain how they took away Alex Pretti’s rights. Political power does not come from a Constitution; it comes from the barrel of a gun.
Also keep in mind your constitution is the only one I know of that explicitly enshrines the right to enslave people.
Joe Biden spent a record amount on ICE camps while the threat of fascism was obviously clear.
Obama not only discovered Homan, but awarded him with a medal when Homan devised a plan to separate migrant children from their parents at detention centers.
Every single dem senator voted to confirm Marco Rubio, who has obviously been one of the biggest champions of "immigration enforcement.
They’re not entirely wrong when they say the Democrats gave them a mandate.
Wise words. Thanks.
Who do you expect to be the ones investigating? Who do you expect to be the ones doling out punishment?
Shout-out to Obama for giving us this guy.
Soo… Your answer for the Native American women being murdered is just to sit by and wait for a justice system that is emphatic about refusing to investigate these crimes? You’re essentially telling these people to have complete faith in a system that has shown great interest in letting them die.

There are approximately 326 federal Indian reservations located in the United States. [i] The violence on these reservations is estimated to be up to ten times higher than national averages. [ii] Specifically, the violence against women and children is astounding. A study completed by the National Institute of Justice found eighty-four percent of native women have experienced some type of violence within their lifetime, with fifty-six percent having suffered sexual violence. [iii] Nevertheless, the prosecution statistics for these crimes do not even begin to measure up.
Confusion in jurisdiction, lack of funds, and overall disinterest in the pursuit of the crimes and seeking justice for native victims produced an epidemic of violence on reservations. [viii] In Oklahoma v. Castro-Huerta, the United States Supreme Court concluded that the federal government and the state in which a crime is committed have concurrent jurisdiction to prosecute crimes committed by non-Indians against Indians on Indian land. [ix] The state and federal departments tasked with prosecuting these crimes are funded by tax dollars, which Indians do not pay. [x]
A landmark case in this discussion is Oliphant v. Suquamish Indian Tribe, because the U.S. Supreme Court held that non-Indians, even if residents of a reservation, could not be prosecuted by tribal courts for criminal conduct. [xi] Essentially, tribal councils only maintain jurisdiction over Indians whom commit a crime on reservation land. [xii] This allows for non-Indians to commit crimes on reservations with little fear of repercussions. [xiii]
Non-Indians have exploited this legal loophole because they are aware of the unlikelihood of prosecution by the federal government. In 2011, only one year after the Tribal Law and Order Act was signed into law, the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University recovered data that revealed federal prosecutors declined to file charges in fifty-two percent of cases involving serious crimes on Native American reservations.

Because you’re not engaging faithfully.
Why does it matter? You’re not trying to slyly pin these murders on Native Americans and Indigenous people, are you? Just make your point and don’t be chickenshit.

Despite Native Americans constituting a small percentage of the U.S. population, rates of murder, rape, and violent crime committed against Native Americans are all higher than the national averages. In 2022, the National Crime Information Center reported 5,487 cases of missing Native American women and girls in the United States, where the majority of missing persons cases involved girls aged 0-17 years old
Some 5500 Native American and Indigenous women go missing every year. The perpetrators, the subjugation, and the brutality absolutely persist today.
What about reparations? Land back? Apologies don’t mean much when the victims are still subjugated and the perpetrators still benefit.
Do you think mid 1930s germans had fuck all to do with the Third Reich?
Imagine reading your comment from the perspective of a Venezuelan. It’s all just handwaving, casting blame, and evasion. It’s pure American exceptionalism, and it’s pure liberalism. “Poor widdle baby Americans deserve none of this blame :(”.
I encourage you to read about how fascism is actually mitigated. It’s not boycotts; it’s bullets, world wars, and sacrifice.

Ah, so just vibes. Ight. The point of a system is what it does. You can keep huffing your civil religion till the cows come home.
I hate what America is right now
Ah, so what chapter was your favorite? Was it the genocide of 90 million Native American, Indians, indigenous folks? Or maybe the slavery era? Or better yet, maybe the Jim Crow Era? Oh and how can I forget the mass incarceration era?
… Pure liberalism.
At what point would you be in favor of death to America? Your political project has gone genocidal, your economics have cemented ecocide, you’ve got secret police lynching people in the streets, and it has been shown beyond a reasonable doubt that your elected officials are all in a conspiracy to rape and traffic children. I’m guessing there is no point where you’d have any semblance of camaraderie with the third world.
The main character syndrome in your comment is palpable.
“Sure, we’ve done a bit of genociding Jewish people, but death to the Third Reich? Slow your roll. What about all of the people who depend on our beautiful Mercedes? What about how we as 30s germans are crucial to the international economy? Some sort of depression would increase worldwide suffering”
Just because you are a foundational world economy doesn’t mean you get to do genocide. Fuck outta here with this handwringing, pearl clutching, imperialist, liberal, genocide apologia masquerading as utilitarianism.
Just keep in mind the rest of the world hates you.
“Which country is the biggest threat to world peace?”
Pretty brutal list of catastrophies you listed there. It’s a shame that your party decided it was more important to genocide Palestinians than it was to mitigate those issues.
Civility fetish.
Two things can be bad. Are we just giving up on nuance these days?
Do show me where this happened.
You did read the headline, right?
