Oh no, I care about children independent of where they live.
Oh, the humanity!
^ By the way, this person could not acknowledge that Hamas murdered children on O7 (and a cursory glance at my history shows I’m no zionist lol, just not a zealot.) I bet they’d defend Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and strikes on civilians, too.
Ah yeah sometimes I flip it too but had modern Democrats in my head, of course (because that’s what matters for this upcoming election after all!). You’re right, I should’ve simply referred to them as Liberals consistently.
That said, yes. The literal reason the Civil Rights Act of 1964 passed was because those activists voted in “Milquetoast Liberals” who then went on to vote for the legislation in Congress. This is fact!
So let’s do it again! (The Tankies just can’t figure out a way to weasel around this, it’s kind of hilarious).
Do you have any science-based evidence the riots were essential to the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964? In fact, how do you know they weren’t counterproductive and we achieved in spite, not because of them?
Need I remind you that Democrats weren’t yet the liberal banner but largely the conservative one at the time. This is common knowledge in any US Civics course. Are you a US Citizen and/or reside in the USA?
Audience, take note of the bad faith argumentation and gross misunderstanding of US History and party ideological swaps. I see this from MAGA all the time.
I mean, they could’ve immediately set out to undo it by not voting, but clearly they did not?
There were Republicans in Congress. They didn’t vote for it. What you’re telling me is that when liberals are in Congress and in charge, they listen to protesters. Tell me, why hasn’t Trump listened to protesters yet over a range of issues even though the No King’s protests are larger than anything during Civil Rights?
Liberals > Conservatives. Just a fact.
NOVEMBER MIDTERMS ACTION STATIONS:
Vote Democrat all the way down ballot for these midterm elections for Congressional control that are the very first chance to put brakes on the fascist Trump regime. In doing so, in this user’s words, we can “stall” and slow down and give people a chance to respond! In this user’s words, they will actually be in power and listen to these protesters, unlike Republicans!
Check when and where your local No King’s Protests will be!
Again all that is beside the point. You’re noting the broader coalition pushed for this – and yet – the actual people for whom the broader coalition voted into power in Congress and successfully passed the legislation were, in fact milquetoast liberals who pulled the lever for the Civil Rights Act of 1964. If it was won in the streets, then why did the conservatives NOT vote for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 but the Liberals did… ? How curious.
Anything that stalls war and murder is good.
Yes, liberals definitely paved the way. The justices liberals appointed factually voted in support of same-sex marriage. All who supported Obergefell v. Hodges except Anthony Kennedy were appointed by Liberal Democrats, fun fact
Naturally, civics is important and expressing your 1A rights are very important! Movements are dynamic, no dispute there. But at the end of the day, all these movements in the USA had one thing in common that led to these milestones: They voted for the Liberal, who reformed the law.
I have my major grievances with the Democratic party, but they are irrefutably better and throughout history (when acting as the liberal coalition and not conservatives pre-Southern Strategy), have been the bringers of progress, slow though it may be.
That’s why I am proudly voting Democrat all the way down my ballot for these midterm elections for Congressional control that are the very first chance to put brakes on the fascist Trump regime. In doing so, in this user’s words, we can “stall” and slow down and give people a chance to respond!
Also, everyone check your upcoming No King’s Protests!
Passage of legislation by milquetoast liberals, as in the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that yielded resounding progress?
How about Liberal-appointed justices paving the way for Same Sex Marriage?
If Liberal governments crafting diplomatic agreements like JCPOA to avoid war, or joining international pacts to try to address climate change like the Paris Climate Agreement?
If both sides same why historically has only one side paved the way of progress, even if slowly?
To others reading this: just remember anyone asserting both sides are the same are Trump supporters, whether they realize it or not. It’s no different than the 1 nazi at a table thing.
Take note, a litmus test for media doing at least some decent journalism.
These outlets should be proud, honestly.
Ed Sheeran is weak, but Robert Kraft is the evil psychopathic billionaire who started all this.
A profound fuck to Robert Kraft in particular.
At least Sheeran isn’t in the Epstein Files.
Before primaries? Sure by all means, infight!
After primaries and before general election? Unite against fascist Republicans and support Democrats. Pretty simple.
How do you know someone is a nazi? Anyone who denies republicans are worse are themselves a fascist.
I’m not sure. His own staff has been abandoning him in droves. I supported him during the election and he without question changed. Was there a conservative quality to him to begin with? Sure, but he was closer to Sanders than Manchin. Unlike Sinema who was just an agent like Gabbard, I do think the stroke heavily exacerbated what little conservatism he had
