You do realize this is literally the same “just asking questions here” argument used by people who attacked Christine Blasey Ford when she went public about having been sexually assaulted by Brett Kavanaugh.

She sucks so bad, and anyone on the left who favors her — which to be fair seems to be a very small number of people — only does so for the most myopic and superficial reasons. Gabbard support is a good way to differentiate those who have some understanding of actual left politics (which would lead to a rejection of…

Buncha fuckin Reagan Democrats around these parts (ah let’s be honest they’re just regular Democrats)

This also describes Elizabeth Warren, you know

It doesn’t become any less a war crime because a figure in the Democratic establishment called for it first

What about straight-up suggesting we steal Libyan oil as payment for destroying their country, or is that the kind of stance you like to see from your government officials

Also lol @ “doesn’t seem that bad” when you’re talking about a former Reaganite who’s on record advocating for cutting Social Security, shuttered a newsroom rather than recognize its union, publicly outed a sexual assault survivor in her organization during an all-hands meeting, and, uh, literally suggested we steal…

This is actually kind of a perfect scenario for Dems: with a Biden win and a Republican Senate they still get to do all the horrible shit they want (imperialism abroad, austerity at home) while having a built-in excuse to avoid tackling the things they *say* they want to do but quite clearly don’t.

I’m not really sure of your point here. Noting the inherent rottenness of a system (and the “criminal justice” system is certainly, by design, a rotten, white supremacist institution that legally enshrines property rights over human ones) does not absolve the individual actors who willingly carry out its dictates,…

Would you say they were “just following orders”?

I didn’t expect murder. I expected nothing and got it, hence “I wish I could say I were surprised.” Why would I expect justice out of a system specifically designed to prevent it?

***One*** officer. Not murder, not even manslaughter. As the saying goes, a grand jury will indict a ham sandwich if you want them to — which means that the prosecutors here weren’t any more interested in justice than the men who murdered Breonna Taylor. Fucking pigs, every last one of them, whether they wear uniforms…

It’s a deeply goofy designation* that examines some worthwhile stuff (record on voting for judicial nominees/cabinet appointments etc.) but then pretends that you can examine someone’s record in the extremely limited context of “things that make it to the floor for a vote” as synonymous with overall ideological…

There are lots of depressing parts, really — but one of them is that by design, a competent person who saw the MIC for what it was would never be allowed within twenty square miles of the presidency.

No idea what you’re talking about

Of course he doesn’t actually believe any of what he’s saying, and has very recently made a huge show of pumping more money into the very apparatus whose existence he’s now decrying, so for the record uhhhh yeah still fuck him.

Speaking, once again, of Donald Trump, the president is also going around accusing military leaders of being war profiteers, which would get him kicked out of Thanksgiving with most of his voter base but is somehow fine when the commander-in-chief of the armed forces yells it.

Wow cool does it go into her time as a CIA asset?

If “rioting” even makes your list of things worth being concerned over at this particular point in the evolution of the US then cool, you’ve located your inner fascist.
