WRT police, the budgeting is not unprecedented. I, too, support defunding police, but as far as all the metrics I've seen, nothing about Biden's budget effect on police funding is out of the ordinary.

WRT the Union stuff, it's complicated. He used a law meant to protect the country for the way it was indended, and empowered 8 of 12 unions to sign a deal they agreed to. There has never been any evidence of overt or covert threat of actually arresting members of the other 4 unions if they did strike. You might disagree with that, but it was a bold faced lie to say he "(sic) striped one of the largest unions in the country of its right to strike, something Republicans haven’t managed to do since the Traffic Controller firings in the 80s"

You get to decide whether someone on your side lying is better or worse than someone who is merely far-left non-communist calling bullshit what it is. There is exactly one way to guarantee never having my vote, and it's lying.

Do you...do you actually think we intend to vote communism in?

They still don't know how communists gain control after all these years che-laugh lenin-laugh landlord-sus sankara-shining

It's not like we're even remotely subtle here about this fact, we literally glorify the revolutionaries daily, and constantly spit on the idea of electoralism

Then why all the lies and standing by them?

But no. I've been reminded hundreds of times that you intend to bring communism by putting guns to the heads of the majority of your fellow proles like myself who don't want what you do. I know I'm going up against the wall, along with over 90% of my country, if you ever win.

But that's why I know you won't win. You can't execute 400M people, and you can't turn their hearts by threatening to.

Communism is when you shoot 90% of the country and the more 90% you shoot the more communism it is.

With all due respect, I was replying to someone who made perfectly clear that the will of the majority (vote) was meaningless to them. How exactly do you intend to seize control from 90% of a country who wants something different if not at gunpoint?

Don't worry about responding. I blocked you too. I'm mid-migration towards servers that defederated the /c/thedonaldmarx communities, so blocking individual people is all I have right now.

What a tantrum, asking someone a question then insulting and blocking them so they can't answer it and you get to have the last word.

You know that if you just ask us to disengage without a little snipe thrown in, we will? It's literally part of our instance rules.

Instead you post this childish nonsense.

you severely misunderstand who we intend to shoot.
