  • It gives a talking point that the Dems are just frivolously trying to impeach Trump. If you say you don’t care about messaging, you’re not playing the game right.

    There’s been lots of impeachable shit that came before this that is truly outrageous and they should have impeached over (sending Marines to California?), but this is the same kind of action that many presidents, Democrat and Republican, have taken in the past and it hardly seemed it was going to be successful.

    Edit: It seems there’s a lot of people responding to this comment who thought everybody should rally behind Biden and Kamala, and didn’t think there was any blame to be laid on the Democrats for choosing terrible candidates.

    This is the same thing. Choose an impeachment battle that makes sense and is clear to everyone. Give people something to drink their teeth into, not the same “Taystee Wheat” you’ve been serving up and asking us to eat

    But hey, you keep on falling for their fake, token “opposition” and blaming people who don’t toe the line. How’s that working for you?

  • Well I disagree. I believe it’s not what they expect, it’s what they want. They are being deliberately provocative to get a reaction, so they may respond. Which they are currently doing.

    Not only that, but we are no longer talking about important policy and legal attacks on freedom.

    Not only that, but any looting or violence will be amplified, and any police or military abuses will be diminished (by the media). The rubber bullet impact photos aren’t disseminated, the looting of an apple store is, or a shoe store, or any fire.

    The targeted feedback we receive (through Lemmy and other social media) makes us feel like we’re accomplishing something, but it’s the social change equivalent of junk food. Like carbon credits, it’s not addressing the problem, it just makes us feel better.

    Only my opinion, of course.
