Agreed, except for the fact tht the DNC is left, but its closer to center-left than the whole of leftists... All democrats are left, not all left are democrats.
Yes there are two sides... the courts want to make it so politicians in congress can override the supreme court (which is sorta how it works int he USA).. oetherw want to make sure the supreme court get final say...
Both are "authoritative" because no matter what you pick one side gets final say and authority... int he USA we have a consitituion so the final authority comes int he form of amendments to the consitution, which means congress, but it also means with 2/3 support of congress.
Just a reminder 36% of the USA population supported defund the police at its height when it was still a largely left wing notion.
I cant find a break down based on party but its safe to bet the majority of those are left wing. So at a minimum it was a near-majority support from the left on that notion. If a majority or near marjority is "far-left" that is concerning.
It all boils down to them having no constitution. So everyo e was pissed off cause they didnt know who shoukd get the final say, their congress or their supreme court.
Yay, you win the award for stupidest reason to block.

I dunno, but when i left that was pretty much the case for a few months. Everyone was pissed
@aaron i just fled israel. No surprise.
@SrRochardBunson you also responded to the wrong thread
Jesus christ you just make up whatever shit you want... when did i tell you how thry were weighted? I did nothing of the sort, i did not weight them at all.
@SrRochardBunson @TruthSandwich @Sleestak
Yup, now where in that quote do i claim thry are bothide tical in this regard? Both sides calling for the defubding of police and pointing that out is **not** thr same as saying they are both ide tical and will execute that in identical ways.
@SrRochardBunson @TruthSandwich @Sleestak
When did i say they were the same?
@SrRochardBunson @TruthSandwich @Sleestak
Im laughing at thr fact that afger years of thr left calling to defund the police when the right finally get on board you try to sell it as a right issue.
The fact is its probably the first time in years both sides agreed on defunding something and yet you still seem desperate to create division rather than recognizing it.
@TruthSandwich @Sleestak @SrRochardBunson
No one even mentioned the DNC....
Ahh right, i forgot. Everyone disagrees with you is a troll...
@Sleestak @TruthSandwich @SrRochardBunson
Wonderful, so the GoP has finally, after years of protested, agreed to side with the left on this issue... still seems disingenuine to try and use that as fodder against them consideri g its what has been demanded by the left for some time now.
@Sleestak @TruthSandwich @SrRochardBunson
Huh, by the GOP... defund the police has been a left wing movement for some time now... i almost sprsined my eyes they rolled so hard on that one...
Nope, no one is suggesting we shoukd eliminate taxes either... but unlike the share with employers taxes are equally mine as everyone elses. So i have more of a right to criticise how those are spent.
@TruthSandwich @SrRochardBunson
Man you do like your nice little categories.. yes taxes help facilitate commerce. Which is also why i do t complain about thrm... assuming thry are spent wisely.
@raymondlesley You can simply filter out hte hashtag guns if you wish:
finding something offensive in and of itself isnt a good enough reason IMO. would you find it acceptable if you were asked to add a content warning to anything someone found offensive, even if you disagreed? Probably not, and it isnt a workable expectation. I am happy to be polite on an individual basis, but we are talking about my feed and whatI choose to share with my friends and followers here.
