People need to call for court stacking until it happens. You've gotta dilute these Federalist Society nutjobs.
25-30 justices would do the job. Same as the next lowest court. Cycle them out to other federal positions, staggering it so each admin gets a few appointments. Done. No more theocratic majority.
What spoilers? That you fight a big, weird-looking boss with multiple baby heads or something at some point? The game's story is not exactly full of twists and turns.
Don't worry, I've been told if we just keep electing right-wing corporate neolibs they'll eventually magically change one day and reverse their drift to the right.
No one has been able to actually articulate how that wotks, but that's the plan. Apparently.
How is it childish? What's more dangerous; a public that sliwly acclimates to fascism or one that is shocked into action at its immediacy?
All you have to offer is more slow decline. That's the opposite of what I want. This conversation kind of demonstrates why the only hail-mary left is shocking you guys back to reality. It's literally the only option you've left anti-fascists.
50,000 children are suffering from acute starvation, 30,000 people have been killed. There isn't a hospiral or school or university left standing, all of Gazas infrastructure is rubble.
There's no "exposing", I've been pretty clear that my goal here is subverting the Democratic right-wing, that shouldn't shock anyone.
Like, why are you acting like that's some huge reveal? Yes, I'm anti-genocide, go ahead and label me, though I think your reliance on labels is kind of what got us all into this mess to begin with. It's why you're a Republican in any practical sense of the word.
The hubris is incredible. No amount if declaring a thing will make it true.
We'll be "dOnE hErE" when neolibs stop fielding AIPAC stooges and funding a genocide. You won't be able to hide from reality until that happens, then we can all go back to your right-wing lesser of two evils bs.
Trump will come to power, and he’ll give Israel carte-blanche in Gaza
They have cart-blanche right now under Biden. Him mumbling vaguely about a red line means nothing.
They're already using US bombs, what do the Gazans care if it falls out of an American plane to? Maybe if we write on the side "This is a Republican-sent bomb" that'll absolve Democrats, huh?
Israel has refused every ceasefire proposal that has come up because they think anything but the destructions of Hamas (and impossibility without killing everyone in Gaza) is the only way they save face.
The logistics of how Trump continuee enabling Israel don't really interest me. If Biden wants to prove he's resisting the genocide he needs to materially prove it with sanctions and aid withdrawl. Wringing his hands isn't cutting it.
They might finally actually admit it's a dictatorship and start behaving accordingly.
But yeah, they could cling to their denial. That's already happening right now though. The shock still has a better chance than the slow boil though, slim a chance as it is neoliberals will ever wake up.
Americans do need to experience the reality of where neoliberal politics have brought us before they can be made willing to resist it.
You've got to understand, trans people are losing their rights right now already, they've been a struggling class of people for decades, the neolib public does not actually care. Sure, they'll tokenize trans people and their struggles as a political cudgel, but in the end this election is about protecting the comfort of upper middle-class neoliberals, that's why they demand people vote for a conservative -- they themselves don't want to experience the consequences of their lackluster politics, that's for minorities, not for "normal Democrats".
There's no more kicking the fan down the road, no more "lesser of two evils", you guys are going to need to admit what it takes to win elections or you get to go down with all the groups you're standing on to keep your own head above water.
It actually is really simple, you're right. Don't fund genocide and you get my vote.
That's literally all it takes at this point. I've been defeated on ever seeing functional healthcare and campaign finance reform and stuff. You guys won in that regard, its not gonna happen, you should be happy. All I'm saying is I can't vote for a pro-genocide candidate, you know?
You've dragged me along to the right with you so far that that's now my standard.
I'm gonna blow your mind here; I voted for Biden in 2020. Despite utterly despising neolibs and their coercive right-wing politics. I did what you demanded, voted for the lesser evil (once again) and got a genocide for it.
No. But the fact that Joe Biden's big selling point here is "I'll theoretically fund genocide less than Trump" is not really a compelling distinction.
You've got to take a step back and look at what you're supporting to really understand why Biden is struggling. Compare Biden's position on Israel to, say, Ronald Reagan's. Really kind of puts it into perspective that you've quite literally been made into a Republican in all but name. All using the same fear tactics every election cycle.
Well, we've reached the bottom of thr hill doing it your way, Democrats are literally paying to kill children now, how much further down were you guys saying we need to go before your magical "long term progress" kicks in?
