ACAB includes democrats.

[-] Paranoidfactoid@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

Democrats are in the minority. They can't win this vote so minority leader Jeffries gave up on obstructing it and told house members to vote how they wish. Because how Democrats vote on this bill will not affect its ultimate passage.

This is a Republican bill by a congress controlled by the Republican Party.

Why the fuck give up on obstruction?

DHS should be completely dismantled and the agencies it sucked in should be returned to their former status. When the fucking Patriot Act was approved, it would eventually lead to a unit identical to the SS and NKVD. It took 23 years and a bunch of fucked up voters to allow it. The fucking Russians and CCP Chinese are rubbing their hands together and laughing their balls off at the AmeriKan downfall.

The Democrats want us to scream for them louder. This is our punishment for resisting.

Both parties are owned by the same oligarchs and genocide committing child trafficking foreign lobby. Our government is occupied by Israel. DHS and Stephen miller say they have a goal to remove 100 million people. They are planning a genocide

America after 100 million deportations: empty, with bent palm trees and about to experience a tsunami... Apparently.

Remember that your state's representatives work for you! Call now! Don’t just bitch on the intertubes, make the one actual phone call to a number that’s not in your contacts this year and tell them what you want!

you may call (202) 224-3121 for the U.S. House switchboard operator.

Voters have taught them they don't need to represent the pubic in order stay in power. They can actively fund and provide weapons for a genocide and voters will come back.

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Scott Perry very much does not work for me

[-] ecvanalog@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Of course they will. They are fully complicit and have stopped even pretending they aren’t.

The democratic party has absolutely no spine. They toss around a concept of standing up for the American people, then cower like scared children.

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary.

  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
