So unless the progressives can force a realignment along some new issue and subsume a major party, creating another party would just be handing a lot of elections over to the Republicans.

This is why lemmy was so vehemently against Jill stein and the greens even though most people on here agree with her politics more than kamala, because they saw her as sabotaging the democrats chances and handing the election to trump.

This sounds like living in a perpetual state of short term gain long term loss. Change won't happen over night, and you may lose a few elections in the short term, but ultimately you'll establish a party you actual want to support instead of one you're kind of willing to tolerate.

I'm not going to criticize Jill Stein or her party for voting based on their beliefs.

I disagree, or perhaps it depends on how you look at it. If a small, vocal minority in an overall larger group begin to push policies/opinions consistently that are not shared by the overall larger group, you could argue the values of the small and larger group no longer completely align. If the smaller group continues even after being made aware those policies/opinions aren't going to fly, one could argue they are now separate groups. I suppose it depends on how far their values have grown apart from each other.

I'm not necessarily saying that is what is happening here, but it's no secret progressives aren't happy with the democratic party establishment. Starting your own party might be best.

Maybe progressives should simply start their own party instead of trying to hijack a current one.

I mean, come on people, it's current year, not past year.

Hi! My name is Bob Kelso, and I like whores. Now, why don't I introduce myself like that? Because there is a time and a place for the truth.

Dr. Phlox knew how to take care of his patients.

"I'm cold"

"here, use this glitter blanket"

"the fuck?"

Finally, a fucking sense of humor. Like finding a golden ticket in a candy bar.

By "here" do you mean Lemmy? And the suns are just complaining? Because if so then yes, I agree.

Props for using a Land Before Time template. Yup yup.

Right? Fuck that guy. That's his problem, not mine.

The first Sonic game. At the main screen, up, down, left, right, hold A, press start. You could jump to the final zone, if you were so inclined.

I tried. You made little to no arguments, and just made baseless claims towards myself. Cheers mate.

You are bordering on arguing in bad faith. Keep it civil or I'm gone.

You said, deport, not detain, which are two very different things. Either you can or cannot provide a evidence of a veteran being deported. I find it odd you quickly ignored the lack of evidence that a veteran has been deported when you yourself made the claim.

And to address your question, no, of course not. Mistakes, like with any process, will happen. A person illegally losing their freedom, even for a short period of time, is one of the most egregious crimes, in my opinion. Obviously said violator (in this case, the federal government) should be held accountable (e.g. the victims can sue).

I googled "veteran deported" for anything in the past month.

I found this and this. Neither of which mention any of the subjects of the articles were deported; only detained.

Can it? Sure. Literally anything can happen. A black hole could suddenly appear and engulf our planet. A meteorite could impact our planet and destroy it. Billionaires could suddenly grow a conscious and give away the majority of their money. However, the likelihood of any of these, or my government kicking down my door and deporting me for absolutely no reason, is extremely improbable.

Nothing is going to happen. And in 4 years, when your life, and the life of most legal citizens, hasn't been impacted by anything the current administration does (just like the last one), you'll all look back and realize you how foolish you were acting. Well, probably not, because such a thing takes self reflection, but I'm sure a few of them will.

Occupying an entire world while you rape their people and land/resources? Don't be retarded.

Is it a poem using the villanelle structure? I'm partial to that format.

Well I'll tell ya what. When the government comes to take me away for doing nothing, and I manage to get my hands on an internet connected device, you'll be my first contact, just so I can say, you were right. But I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you, especially if you're a member of a species that requires the inhalation of oxygen.

Also, BRB, gotta go commit my daily felony.

I'm sure this imaginary scenario works on most of the boobs that comprise the user base of this platform, but that's not going to work here. I'm a legal citizen of my country. I'm not a criminal. I'm not going anywhere.

Furthermore, the fAsCiSm boogie man is old, tired, and trite.
