As Far-Right IDEOLOGY Surges in US and Germany, Debate Rages Over Disqualification of Those Who Would Destroy Democracy

Added a word and a comma to make it a lot more readable

He’s looking for someone in the first column, but created this nice little second column for them to move all their justifications into

There an alternative?

If you’re talking about politicians then I’d agree with you. If you’re talking about their wealthy donors like the Koche Brothers, Heritage Foundation, etc, they absolutely do. I would not say it’s the above person’s guess about forcing more births due to lowering birth rates, but they definitely have societal goals in mind

While two things can be true simultaneously, I just still don’t agree that it should be considered a shame they didn’t get to experience retirement, as that heavily implies they were at some level swept into that shame of a scenario by other forces. To make an extreme comparison, it’d be like saying it’s a shame hitler didn’t get to transition into a peaceful retirement. He (and they) created the destructive environment that closed that option off; it’s not a shame they couldn’t retire, it’s a shame they’re the kind of people in power in the first place.

Just because they’re being inhumane doesn’t mean we need to be.

It’s not inhumane to lack sympathy for someone who actively hurt the system everyone relies on, for their own personal gain, just because they didn’t also get a cherry on the top of their sundae

Interesting, thanks for the info!

Oh please, don’t act like the powers that be responsible for marginalizing women consider trans men to be men. The subtext of the conversation is supporting marginalized groups, and women are just an easy shorthand to that subtext.

No, it’s not that it’s not the only reason to vote for someone, it’s that it’s not a reason to vote for someone. Hypothetically if we could create identical clones of a person’s mind, with literally the only difference between them being their gender, one doesn’t get an extra pat on the back because they’re a woman. It “being time” is not an argument to boost someone past their actual accomplishments. What it does show is that there’s still a large contingent of the populace that are sexist enough that sex and gender matter to them. When a woman eventually becomes president, it’ll be a good marker for when enough of the country sees the genders as equal, not as one needing a handicap to perform equally.

really 99% of women will be better at the job than Trump.

Lmfao you haven’t met any maga women then. And there’s sadly a lot of them.

Pretty sure they’ve shown nitrogen asphyxiation on pigs hasn’t caused any discernible stress or uncomfort. This execution not only taking this long but also being that stressful, and the facility’s track record of fucking up executing this guy, makes me think some bullshit by Alabama happened to make this a painful death. Needs to be promptly and thoroughly investigated imo

Edit yea here’s a link: mild content warning I guess, but it just shows a pig very briefly passing out and then coming to again: https://youtu.be/fPhH4nha4QA

Apathetic and depressed is not what I’d call the voter turnout in the elections since 2020. The R’s blew their load too fast on overturning Roe v Wade and it’s been consistently fucking them in the ass since.

where rather than getting to retire in peace these people are kept in the system and paraded instead of being allowed to gracefully give up their position. I say that with respect to her autonomy, it’s abysmal that she never reached retirement because of how politics has been forcefully designed to be an old person’s game. These people should have been out of politics 20 years ago :(

My guy why are you acting like retiring was stolen from her? She was a walking mummy long before her mental faculties took a nose dive, and chose to stay in politics. Honestly i wouldn’t be surprised if a sane Feinstein would’ve told her team to keep her around the way they did if her mind declined. She was not a victim here; she was part of the problem

Didn’t like 90+% of the online parts of the trucker convoy nonsense come from like 2 Facebook accounts? Small groups can get the ball rolling far more than you seem to think

Being a woman or trans (not sure why you excluded trans men there) isn’t a political accomplishment. Yes, it’s bad that so many people vote against them just because of their gender, but similarly it’s bad to vote for someone just because of their gender

We found one! Bake em away, toys

So I haven’t been following this lawsuit at all, so this is a genuine question. If the lawsuit is about barring trump from the ballot due to starting an insurrection, I would assume part of the trial was to argue for and against the claim that he started or otherwise participated in an insurrection, no? If that’s not the case, then I’d agree with you. If that is the case, however, then I don’t see how this trial wasn’t the due process you’re talking about

Give the “if you don’t like it then leave” crowd a taste of their own medicine

The lesson is that establishment republicans can’t keep playing their “Let us break our deals with you or we’ll elect an extremist that neither of us want” bullshit game of chicken. Now they know that if another pertain like mccarthy thinks they can be a chucklefuck and break the deals they made with the dems, they’ll be forced to deal with the psychos in their own party. It’s extra pain right now in exchange for less pain later. Though this assumes establishment reps will get the memo

None of the moderate Republicans would’ve had enough bipartisan support to get the position.

I very much hope McConnell is aware of his cognitive decline recently and it’s causing him as much mental anguish as physically possible.

Compare Russia to Africa and it’s small. One thing being larger doesn’t make another thing small, just smaller

Just a side note but Ukraine isn’t a small country
