    They’re really targeting California as a whole now. The state that supported the union so much over history. Republicans must really feel jealous that it is the richest state.

        Also because it’s the largest progressive state in size. If they can take down California then they will cheer it on as a major victory. Next up on the hit list the other blue states, Canada and finally Europe.

    Apart from the obvious “arresting a senator for asking questions” thing, is whatever’s happening on this picture standard procedure for arresting an unarmed, unthreatening person in the US? It looks like they’re arresting a terrorist or a dangerous suspect

    The dumb woman talking said “liberate the city from socialists”. Doesn’t it bother Americans that a person in her position, is so fucking dumb she doesn’t even know what socialism is?

    It reminds me of Putin saying they’ll save Ukraine from nazis.

      I learned on he xbear that Ukraine is the most fascist place in the world and the leader of the country, who is Jewish, glorifies Nazis. It was very educational, but not in the way they intended.

      The same people that made us share toys and the playground now tell us that sharing things is evil and wrong.

      The same people that said love your neighbors now vote to have our neighbors arrested and deported.

      The same people that said feed the hungry vote to remove school lunches.

      The same people that screamed about 2A “shall not be infringed” and insisting their full auto arsenal was to stand up to a tyrannical govt. Now won’t say a word when every other amendment has been completely removed and the govt is tyrannical in every way.

      Ironic.

        “We are staying here to liberate this city from the socialist and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country,”

        That’s a quote from the press conference.

        Yeah, our countrymen are dipshits, but let’s not undersell how complicit the Dems are by constantly choosing to run candidates that their voting base feels they have to vote for begrudgingly.

        And let’s not pretend like the decision isn’t between unregulated capitalism, and fascism. Yes one is the better choice, but I mean Jesus Christ it’s like trying to decide if you want to die by injection in 10 years or being boiled alive today, you die either way.

        Hard to win elections when your voting base can’t be excited about you. Hence why gop is winning, it’s easier for a fascist to appeal to a dipshit than it is for a capitalist to appeal to a voter with the ability to think for themselves.

          if you want to die by injection in 10 years or being boiled alive today, you die either way.

          The first option at least gives tons of people extra time to escape to a more sane country.

        More like the democratic leaders are too stupid yo try actually appealing to the population. Keep victim blaming though, and licking up whatever scraps the dems throw st you from the table. Like yall shoild literally be rioting to force a change of leadership in the democratic party, and should have done so the second kamala lost. Or even before that when she was just ‘chosen’ to replace biden.

            The decision that would cause the least harm is not voting for democrats ever again, and forming a third party. You literally have them voting alongside actual fucking white supremacists, and this is your idea of “least harm”. THE PEOPLE WORKING WITH NAZIS ARE ALSO NAZIS, YOU TWATWAFFLE.

            You’re either a nazi collaborator, like they are, or you’re a useful idiot.

    Yes, it is. All those white men had the freedom to push that Mexican guy to the ground and handcuff him. See, that’s real freedom, according to the Ten Commandments. It’s why we should put the Ten Commandments in every schoolroom, so people know what they say, and how they say DEI is bad. It’s right next to the Commandments about how oil belongs to America and the KJV is the only valid translation.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don’t end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.
