Treason! Hold them accountable!
- NDlurker 2mo agoAgreed. This is disgusting.
- whatever1 2mo agoWe have election in November, mobilize everyone you can and vote.
- nashashmi 2mo agoNovember is too late. We have courts. Mobilize the courts.
- thewebguyd 2mo agoThe turnout in my state's primary this week was an abysmal 20%. I hope that's not an omen for November, because we are doomed if so.
- fhdkweig 2mo agoPrimaries are not for down-the-ticket party voters. I didn't bother to vote in the primaries because I don't really care about the subtle shades of blue or red, I only care about are you any kind of blue or red. Each politician is either for what I want or against it. I will be showing up for November, that's when my vote will matter.
- 1659447091 2mo agoThats pretty average for primaries nationwide. Texas had a turn out of around ~24% this year that shattered previous turnout; usually hover around 16%.
- mcmcmc 2mo agoThat’s not treason, just bad governance. They do need accountability though
- JumpCrisscross 2mo ago> not treason, just bad governance ICE is damn close to an organisation of brownshirts. If they fuck with the elections in November, that's an organised effort to use violence to overthrow our Constitutional order. That would be treason. We're not at the point of treason. But we have leaders credibly threatening to commit it. (I'd say Stephen Miller has commited treason. As in try-him-and-hang-him treason.
- mcmcmc 2mo agoYes it would be, but that hasn’t happened yet.
- bulbar 2mo agoAnd when it happens, you will advocate to bring them to court to judge on their actions a year after it happened? Would be to late then and nobody will effectively be sentenced.
- mcmcmc 2mo agoIf it happens, it’s 2A time
- JumpCrisscross 2mo ago> it’s 2A time It’s always 2A time. Nutters committing crimes just go on the docket.
- krapp 2mo agoOh. that's the red line. OK. Good to know there is one. Weird that it wasn't when Trump supporters were kidnapping people and making bomb threats prior to the election or when they stormed the Capitol to try to kill Pence and force the result. Or even when ICE was being sent out into the streets and kidnapping people and shooting them dead in the street to begin with, and being sent out with National Guard troops to indimidate blue state voters. Or when DOGE ransacked the government and exfiltrated Americans' data to Palantir, which will make interfering with the elections much easier. Or when Trump refused to release the Epstein files. Which has nothing to do with election fraud but I feel like the sitting President being a serial rapist and pedophile defying the DOJ to protect himself and a network of pedophiles within the government should be a bigger deal than it is. If they mess with elections again (because they already tried mind you) then Americans will do something. OK. Good to know.
