During a Tuesday hearing at the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, the DOJ urged a three-judge panel to issue an emergency stay of a lower court order and allow the Trump administration’s deployment of the California National Guard to continue in Los Angeles — going so far as to argue a president’s federalization of militia can’t be second-guessed by the courts, even if the chief executive mobilized forces from all 50 states and Washington, D.C., simultaneously.
They were too small a group to appeal to, now they’re solely to blame.
Which is it?
How do you read “take responsibility for their impact” and then jump to “solely to blame.” I swear people just hear what they want so they have a reason to be angry.
Are they to blame, or are they small enough to ignore?
Which one? I get that you want both. But you only get one.
I’m curious as to why you think you have the kind of authority in anyone’s life to tell them they have to decide between two dipshit choices you present them.
These dumbfucks made an incredibly stupid decision, whether they ended up being too small a group to make the difference or not. They’re still dumbfucks that chose their own perceived moral superiority over the wellbeing of their country.
Found the 3rd party voter I guess.
That’s the assumption whenever someone contradicts centrist orthodoxy.
It’s wrong, but centrists never let that stop them.
The democratic party is a corpse these days.
That was always a lie. But they are among the least reliable voters.
I mean, you can’t ignore people or treat them with undisguised contempt if you want them to be reliable voters.
I think that that is looking at the problem from the wrong angle (even if it is extremely common). We need to not give a fuck what they think of us as we subvert their party and force it into something that’s actually at all Left of center. That’s impossible with people sitting out elections (especially primaries) and offering zero meaningful resistance to or action against the fascist Right.
democrats successfully argued in court that they don’t need to run honest primaries. They didn’t even have them last year.
