Do you believe Biden should be judge, jury, and executioner?

Absolutely not!

Maybe I understand your perspective better now? Is it that your opposition is to a president directly ordering someone be arrested/killed (vs directing the department of justice to administer a speedy and comprehensive trial in order to prevent a miscarriage of justice)?

I’m arguing against Biden throwing Trump in jail

Presumably because Trump is a politician? Or is it that you believe he committed no crimes?

Just to understand your perspective: is there anything a politician, either sitting or running, can do that would cause you to support jailing or executing them, or is the complication of them being a politician such that, in your eye, no penalty can be met for any crime they commit?

I believe he is also on the record saying that being detained while having to prove your citizenship is a minor inconvenience. He definitely seems to be speaking from his own perspective rather than that of anyone likely to have to deal with the outcome of these rulings.

Thanks for your reply. I feel you mischaracterized my response, likely because you didn’t understand it, in which case, likely because I did not express it well.

I don’t care whether op leaves Reddit, it’s not an important issue to me, and it has absolutely nothing to do with purity. I was responding to the idea that it’s hard to leave reddit, which may feel true for op, but, just as you suggested, if everyone took that attitude with everything, positive change would be stymied, and your suggested resort to suicide would make a lot more sense. Making space (e.g., by leaving an abusive relationship of one kind or another) can seem hard or scary, but I stand by it as a means to enable better things to come. What op wants to do with that is up to them.

I hope that’s more clear.

Ah yes, like food, water, and air—impossible to live without!

Word to the wise: leaving makes space for alternatives that clinging to hinders.

Thanks for your reply, and good luck with your mysterious education campaign!

Sorry if I’m being dense, but just to make sure: you’re saying China is preparing to protect itself from an upcoming Japanese invasion?

Interesting. Genuine question: how do you propose to compel to work those who are wealthy enough to live without working?

I thought someone running for political office can’t be arrested or tried for a crime in case they eventually win election (at which point all possible charges are automatically dropped)?

Hate crimes are born from opinions. My point was that at that age a lot of people think some awful things.

That may be, but my point was that the call for jail was due to their “opinions” fueling an impactful crime. You said yourself, despite the awful beliefs you held at that age, you’d have never committed such an act. I think that’s an important distinction.

I don’t think they should be jailed for life at the age of eight years old for it.

FWIW, I can appreciate the reasons that there is a juvenile court system in the US and agree that life without parole seems excessive based on my limited understanding of the crime and its context.

I had some awful fluffing opinions at that age too, even if I never would have committed an act like this.

I don’t think OP wants to put them in jail for their opinions, but because they committed this act…

“We [the rich] are sick of financing you. You want health care? Befriend a doctor. You want entertainment? Go roll around the mud with your fellow pigs.”

This is apparently not a real quote from Musk: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/musk-billionaires-tired/

Plenty to be concerned about, all the more reason it’s important to be factual.

I presume they’re too focused on their big win with how they saved Gaza to worry about anything else…

I was under the impression that JD Vance enjoys the financial support of Peter Thiel et al.?

How Peter Thiel and Silicon Valley funded the sudden rise of JD Vance

I searched the link you posted and did not find a single mention of Kamala?

Your vacuum has been upgraded to an “ultimate machine“!

I am curious about this as well. At least in some cases, it seems to be due to “alternate facts”, e.g., https://lemmy.ca/comment/13198294

Ok, not a downvoter, but I’ll bite. A system with more than one party is more democratic than a system with a single party. Are you asking which of the two major parties in the US is the “second” party, making the US more democratic than if there were a single party? If so, I see why no one is answering. If not, perhaps you could clarify your question?
