The Ultimate Self-Own: Actively applauding politicians that bypass the rule of law just to own your enemies
Has this person even considered the incredibly dangerous precedent being set where BOTH sides of the two party system have constituents that actively encourage them to abandon the rule of law?
What could go wrong?
Those damned leopards were so cute that I walked up to them and pet them.......but they ate my face!
Don't come crying to me when the leopards actually eat your face.
This one video (and the pervasive tendency of Centrists to engage in echo chamber building using "official block lists" on world and BlueSky) has inspired me to start this community.
Excellent job taking a valid argument on why the political system in the United States is a corrupt institution that can't be fixed merely by voting for one of the two lobbyist-sponsored self-interest parties... and subsequently making your opinion seem worthless by drawing ideological lines.
Liberals are also disillusioned with the state of affairs, as evidenced by their abysmal turnout. Instead of contributing to the partisan division, you could have made an argument that all Americans are being screwed by unopposed oligarchs paying both sides to enact policies that benefit nobody but themselves.
Edit again: Phrasing things the first time has never been my strong point, but surely I can't be the only one who considers antagonizing people who might otherwise agree with you to be a terrible idea.
Oh look an identity politics brainwashed smug lib right on cue!
I’m guessing you think I’m a Republican or a Trumper or something. I assure you. I’m not.
It’s just your brainwashing that causes you to see things in such partisan terms.
I’m actually a leftist (evidently far more leftist than you) that is sick of other people (EXACTLY like you) cosplaying as a leftist then actively encouraging their politicians to be above the law because they have been so ideologically brainwashed that they can’t see the issues in giving ANYONE extrajudicial power.
edit: blatant mischaracterization and demonstration of hypocrisy on my part
They went after Biden again and again with every false claim they could find until they nailed him with something they don't even want enforced at all and no one else gets arrested for.
I agree with the pardon because even if it wasn't Bidens son, and was instead Bob from down the road, I'd still think he was being unfairly targeted and I don't believe in that kind of behavior.
You can't just follow someone every day until you find something to nail them on. That's not how the system is supposed to work. There are really criminals out there. It's important to send a message to the law that you can't just target someone you don't like .
Look at the kettle calling the pot black. It's funny that you think I'm both a liberal and condoning Biden's actions. The institution needs to be thrown out from underneath the structures keeping it in place, and you're not going to convince people to join the cause when you're actively antagonizing them.
