@clintruin @connynasch @theleftistlawyer The people trying to spread despair and discourage people from voting could be suspected of being bots working for Russia. I mean, that's what a reasonable supposition would be of such people.
@ariaflame @clintruin @connynasch @theleftistlawyer Suspected or no, they sure as heck are doing the work of Russia and the Republican regime by doing this.
ELECTIONS MATTER! Even *IF* the regime tries to stop the election that the Constitution and the laws require, we *MUST* resist that! Getting people to feel despair only and stay home and just forget it is exactly how the right got a convicted felon into power last year.

"Cynicism has never solved any human problem"Please understand I pray I'm wrong. I really do. But dangerous naivete has never solved any human problems either.
The President of the United States says he wants to make my country the 51st state, I believe my cynicism is well earned...not to mention FOUR YEARS of nothing after J6...the most clear cut example I have seen of treason in my lifetime.
@clintruin Trump doesn't want to make Russia the 51st state

@wesdym When I see someone talking about elections or impeachment as a useful tool it tells me that they do not understand the scope of the problem.
That's not cynicism.
Impeachment failed twice because the republican party won't voluntarily give up power. The mid-terms only have power if elections are free, fair and binding.
You can hope for those things, but hope is not a plan.
Today the only viable tool for a peaceful resolution the crisis is economically disruptive direct action.
@simagick
Yeah. "Cynical". Riiight.
Talk about killing the bearer of bad news.

Gentle reminder that EVERYONE shot by ICE or the police is innocent. Every single one. Cops aren't Judge Dredd. A person is innocent until proven guilty IN A COURT, so until a person is found guilty by a judge or jury, they're innocent. They're ALL innocent.
@theleftistlawyer police are the worst vigilantes.

@theleftistlawyer what's the count?

@iwein @crazyeddie @theleftistlawyer no, they are right - despite seeing the video the officer is "accused" of murder. There aren't exceptions to this. Not for ICE, not for pedophiles, immigrants or anything.

- Thomas Ligotti@clintruin @connynasch @theleftistlawyer That doesn't address my comment. Did you vote last election? Are you acting to improve things? Or are you just giving up and trying to make others despair?

Make that _unless_ proven guilty.

@theleftistlawyer and even with a proper court ruling, most countries and US states abolished the death penalty.

@theleftistlawyer true. mexican courts did indeed convict them of rape, drug, and firearm offences. gotta love those mexican courts doing their job. BTW, remember when cartels had absolute control and courts were powerless? i certainly remember. i also remember colombia during the 90s. glad we have moved into an era of relative law and order.
also, psychopath squads in sudan, currently machine-gunning civilians, just like cartels used to do in mexico. funny how that's not a priority.

@theleftistlawyer what about convicts and suspects on the run? Are they innocent?

I am Canadian. I voted in my last election. YOUR president (are you American? If yes, then yes he is YOUR president) Wants to make my country your 51st state. I am not interested in playing pretend. Hope is not a plan. Please understand I pray I'm wrong. I really do. But naivete is dangerous. I'm sorry you find the truth depressing. So do I. If this explanation is not enough, your block button is right there. I suggest using it. -
@iwein @crazyeddie @theleftistlawyer lol wow you’re accusing me of being one of them because of what you said, there’s a difference? That’s pretty low, go ahead do what maga does, say the law is clear for one side only.
-
@joe I think we agree on that, but I don't understand why you put the "no" there. It doesn't contradict anything I said, does it?
@iwein you’re trying to say I’m pro ICE now. This is pointless.

@iwein @crazyeddie @theleftistlawyer I didn’t say defamation or anything, you’re really out of line here. I was just saying the presumption of innocence applies to all or it doesn’t apply at all. We disagreed so you said I’m defending ICE, you invoked Rittenhouse? I didn’t defend anyone or pass judgements in any way. This is disgraceful.

True, and often forgotten. But a victim needn't be innocent to have the right to be free from being targeted and murdered on American streets by masked gunmen, who have the president and his cabinet behind them.

@joe @iwein @theleftistlawyer This is why I didn't reply. Thanks for trying though.
When JD starts calling liberals slanderers for this we can both get a giggle out of it--then we can cry because we know why we're fucked.
