Peaceful… until the cops show up and get violent with the protestors.
Bingo. Cops excel in escalation.
They’re thoroughly trained in deescalation tactics, then use inverse language to justify self defense and charges.
Honestly that’s kinda optimistic compared to reality.
Warrior cop training needs to fucking stop.
this is what always makes me insane. police presence inherently increases tension because oh now here’s a gang of jackbooted thugs with guns and tasers and the power to ruin your life and/or murder you and get away with it, just hangin out. just tryna keep people safe.
i mean that shit must only work on the boomeriest boomers, right? that would only help at a particularly rowdy Kenny Chesney concert
Too bad Biden and other “moderates” Dems care about as much about facts and logics as trump does.
Their donors want them to shit on protestors, so that’s what they’ll do.
Biden’s going to fuck around and let trump win because he can’t stand up to Israel.
Biden has supported the protests and only condemned breaking the law and antisemitism along with Islamophobia. Which as president, he should. Specifically he spoke out when protesters took over Hamilton Hall.
condemned breaking the law
really novel stuff here. thank god we have a competent president there to say breaking the law is bad
also
We can never forget that everything Hitler did in Germany was “legal” and everything the Hungarian freedom fighters did in Hungary was “illegal.” It was “illegal” to aid and comfort a Jew in Hitler’s Germany. But I am sure that if I had lived in Germany during that time, I would have aided and comforted my Jewish brothers even though it was illegal. If I lived in a Communist country today where certain principles dear to the Christian faith are suppressed, I believe I would openly advocate disobeying these anti-religious laws.
[serious] why are there so many ‘moderate’ biden stans on this site (not you, but generally)? i thought lemmy was the sort of leftist reddit alternative
I can’t stand biden or the dems, and I would rather have lobster’s chew on my balls than vote repub. But at the end of the day, trump would hand the keys to gaza and the west bank over to Israel and gladly sweep the blood under the welcome mat… he’d do the exact same with Ukraine and russia…so while I can’t stand the blue team, we’re going to get the world on fire if trump and repubs are elected. Anyone who thinks that trump is worth the gamble is full on delusional.

Exactly.
So please try to help me convince the DNC that Biden isnt popular enough to feel safe in the election.
Especially when he won’t stop funding a genocide.
Biden needs to stop fucking around and listen to his voters so he doesn’t pull a Hillary.
He can’t just do whatever the fuck he wants and tell voters they have to actively vote for him or trump wins
It’s literally the opposite of how to run a campaign.
The fucking convention hasn’t even happened yet, but we’ve been told for like 5 months it’s too late anyways
Too bad Biden and other “moderates” Dems care about as much about facts and logics as trump does.
Liberals on lemmy seeing any criticism asking Biden be held accountable for decisions Biden makes:
Accurate post
if Biden were running against Sanders or… like, potentially anybody at all
Yeah the whole point of me saying that was to lightening rod the downvotes from the op so that the comment didn’t get downvoted into oblivion (it was on its way).
Beware the white moderate. They are not your friend.
