The US government has literally been doing that for longer than I’m alive.

Slavery is considered an acceptable form of punishment and our so-called “Justice” system regularly executes innocent people.

I don’t want them dead.

I want them working minimum wage jobs with no benefits.

There were only 428 total votes for DNC chair election. “Enough people” is apparently about the same size as a school board election.

I’m not proposing anything because there’s nothing to propose.

Either party leadership will realize the error of its ways or it won’t. Maybe they’ll listen to the folks flooding their phone lines and town halls and maybe they won’t. Maybe some of those folks will run for office and try to change the system from the inside, maybe they’ll just become another part of it.

In any case, the next election is a long way off. So long as the only acceptable opposition to the Republicans has to be mediated by Democrats, then we don’t get don’t get to have any real input 'til voting day.

Why would anyone have bothered to waste money running against the presumptive nominee? Especially when the party went out of its way to conceal Biden’s unsuitability for the position until the first debate of the general election made the illusion impossible to maintain.

No, the non-primary was on purpose. Biden didn’t want to have to pass the torch at the end of a single term and the party let him have the nom because he was president.

So we didn’t have a primary because Biden was the presumptive nominee… who was later removed long after it was obvious he had no chance.

Sounds very Democratic.

Is the “Not Perfect” party even going to hold a primary this time or does Harris get it by default like Biden last year?

I’m still hoping for another season.

Go on strike and block Republicans from entering congress.

So you agree that it’s wrong, but you think it should be encouraged anyway?

For one, it can get you thrown into a gulag by U.S. border patrol, or jailed in any of the states and countries that require one’s birth certificate to match a bathroom door sign.

For another, it’s all the evidence that bigots in positions of power need to assume someone is trans, and people who are thought to be trans face deadly levels of harassment for that alone.

For literally anyone whose appearance doesn’t match their birth certificate regardless of if they are cis or trans.

That’s so unsafe, how is that a middle position?

It was big news 75 years ago too.

You can deny it all you want, but profits still = income - expenses.

Every dollar paid to a shareholder is a dollar stolen from someone who works for a living.

First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action”; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.

“Applying the laws fairly” would start with shipping them all back home and compensating them $10k/day they were detained without due process.

That’s a valid point, but I wouldn’t put money on it.

Seems to me that their being pro-genocide hurt them more than it helped.
