I voted for this man, what a fucking joke. Hearing him say shit like this really makes me regret voting for the guy.

I mean.. he is right though. I dont like him either but its better to have an opposition.

While I can respect that it's the system working as it should I don't at all see the Babbitt shooting being ruled as excessive force.

Against the Republicans as they stand now, at least. CTOAN makes good points.

Though there is a lot of appealing to the center going on from a lot of posters, which is a terrible position to internalize.

Are you a single party extreme left winger? You don't seem to be...

Did you even saw the video? It got taken down a few times since but keeps resurfacing.

He looks like a stereotypical Viking/savage. The only thing I'd change about his outfit would be from them to get a shirt that matches or goes well with their pants. The bare chested thing is a bit too unchaste and he needs a shirt to deal with cold/air conditioning better.

True. But why republicans and not, say, an actual left wing party that resembles the popular parties of Canada/most of Europe ?

17th century? The guillotine was first used in 1792 and last used in 1977

Yes and it's fully justified in my eyes. The crowd had been chanting about killing officials and were getting closer and closer to them. A single shot is fired at the first person trying to get past a barricade and it just so happens to be a lethal one.

Cannot think of a name wrote:I think you're reading that quote wrong. He's not saying we need the current Republican Party in it's current state, it's more about the second part, a principled and strong opposition to stress test ideas. The Democrats are miiiiiiiiiiles from infallible whether you sit to the left or right of them. LIkewise, even with the best intentions whatever adjective you use to describe those further to the left than the Democratic Party (without comment about how much space that represents) aren't always going to come up with the best ideas.
