mclumber1 Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Taking violent action on this is just as shitty as the right taking violent action when they don't like something - IE January 6th. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massive "We want to give you healthcare, education, generally improve your lot in life, etc" vs "Ya i want minorities in camps so we can make an ethno state" with a centerist or liberal saying "I can't decide or compromise" response energy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah no, I'm gonna disagree with you there, dog. Violence is a 100% valid solution in some cases, but not in others, and no two situations of violence can be compared. Maybe violence isn't the solution in this case, but comparing this to Jan 6 is not the way to go about arguing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comet Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 35 minutes ago, CitizenVectron said: Until Florida and others outlaw people leaving the state for abortions. "Oh, but that isn't legal!" you might say. Until Florida escalates it to SCOTUS and they say "yeah sure, why not?" At this point it should be clear that SCOTUS will rubber-stamp anything the right-wing wants. Get the fuck out of red states then 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree January 6th was a bunch of racist conspiracy theorist nut jobs believing something that wasn't real THIS IS REAL. Either everyone lies down and says this isn't their fight and then eventually lose their rights when it is their fight or people can take (non-lethal) action. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazyPiranha Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 I’m not saying I support violence, I’m just saying that when a gilded minority reigns over everyone else and gives them no peaceful way of changing things, it’s the only foreseeable outcome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 It is a peculiar thing to see people who are very interested in politics pretty fundamentally misunderstand the powers of the president. The solution if you want the roe/casey rights restored is in ditching the filibuster in the senate, plain and simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaysWho? Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 If your ire is toward Biden, even a little bit, you've lost your damned mind. I'm more upset with Republicans and 2016 protest voters. Hey jason, how many times did you attack Clinton in 2016 and help instill doubts about her even though SCOTUS was on the line whereas now you have all the answers? THAT was weaksauce. Biden didn't vote for Clarence or Alito. He helped stop Bork's confirmation. And he surely tried to stop Trump who gave us the others. It IS up to voters. We had all the necessary info in 2016. Anyone who wasted their time about emails screwed up. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
