Don't be a tool of the corpos and the state.
  • Not stopping for a traffic stop would be obstructing the police or something. Or, and this is super duper crazy, we could just take their license plate and send them the bill for speeding. It's a civil offense. There's no reason to get a police officer involved at all. If they're driving erratically then it falls under the same heading as running away from any other crime. The erratic driving is already the crime. There's no reason other than, "peasants must obey" to outlaw fleeing. They've already committed a crime and already need to be apprehended. Making them double need to be apprehended doesn't help society in any way.

    Rape isn't a human experience. There's no "rape reflex" in our heads. That's jumping to an extreme and illogical.

    Bodycams being used for corrupt purposes by a corrupt force is not a micro technicality, it's the entire fucking point.

    And nope, they will accuse you of crushing them while you were waiting for the cop to run your plates. An empty container is assumed to have been fully drunk while driving.

    They don't get their overtime by doing nothing. Only "earners" get the perks. And the courts and prosecutors are partial to the police because they need them to do their jobs and the police have power over them too. When Phoenix City officials in Arizona decided to not renew the Maricopa County Sheriff's contract because of all the shit Sheriff Arpaio was doing he straight up harrassed them. Then he tried to do it to the Maricopa County board and several prosecutors as well. It's only because it's an elected position that he was taken care of eventually. And that's just the one I saw personally. These cases are all over the place. If you look up Judges sending kids to Juvie for kickbacks you have to specify which scandal you mean.

    The system is not on your side.

  • It's okay, tankies love fascism, so they're not put out by the result
  • There is a side that could be worth supporting. But you're making very hard to do so. Biden could win the election today by cutting off military aid to Israel. Instead he has goons out here threatening everyone. So far I'm not sure what I get for supporting him. You guys talk about plan 2025, but this kind of bullshit used to just be Republican stuff. So from where I'm sitting it looks like the DNC is giving up on Democracy too. It's certainly giving up on listening to it's voters.

  • It's okay, tankies love fascism, so they're not put out by the result
  • Oh shit. Looks like you're saying it right now. I've never equated the two. And yet here you are swearing at me. Now I don't scare easily and I don't let people on the internet tell me how to vote. But this ain't how you get more votes. Fear mongering and threats have never worked for the democrats. So the only "fucking idiots" I see here are you guys, pushing voters away.

  • It's okay, tankies love fascism, so they're not put out by the result
  • Oh? Where's the genocide? Point it out. You guys started this talking point a month ago and nobody has given even an attempt at rationalizing this talking point. You just sound like the guy on the street with a cardboard sign ranting at god. And even better there's a real one going on right now that Biden is supporting. This wouldn't be you trying your hand at some Good Old Projection would it?

    U.S. urges China military dialogue despite rebuff to Blinken

    The Biden administration wants to set up a deconfliction line with China in much the same way they set one up with Russia during the Cold War. They're also signaling that future cooperation may come in the financial sector or by refining sanctions by tapping the Treasury Secretary as one of the next US officials to meet with Chinese leaders. The Commerce Secretary may also be about looking for a ways to offset the US bringing chip production home.
