The govt actively chooses which individuals violating the law to prosecute and not especially in progressive cities like San Francisco and Seattle, based on a set of their own principles vs the constitution written by their elected representatives.

- nonethewiser 3y ago> Ah great, I'll simply caucus with That Other Party and lose my personal rights as a queer atheist. You're creating a false dichotomy. We could prosecute criminals and not take initiative to remove rights for queer atheists. These are in no way related so it's weird to lump them in. Besides, "That Other Other Party" who presumably doesn't want to take personal rights from queer atheists could simply prosecute the criminals themselves. If you like "That Other Other Party" overall and want to see criminals prosecuted, that's what you would pursue. But if you don't pursue that it's pretty clear you just don't want to see criminals prosecuted.
