Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

@Background Human  
It was more of an offhand remark. But anyway, making a false police report is already a misdemeanor or felony offense in many states, including California, so the question is… why?
 
It’s also worth noting that several residents wrote letters to the board urging them to reconsider renaming the ordinance, citing it is sexist and targets people with the name of “Karen.”

@Background Pony #E7D6  
To basically tell people “if you are about to report a minority to the police, ask yourself it you would report a white person in the same scenario”. At least, I think that’s what it’s meant for.

@Latecomer  
They are breaking a principle, though: that you should always feel safe calling 911.
 
The problem is not racist bigots calling in fake reports, the problem is that the police force come in guns a blazing with the racist prejudice that non-WASPs are inherently dangerous.
 
Karens call the cops and demand to see the manager because both parties are easily manipulated to fulfill Karens’ objectives: instant satisfaction of some superiority complex.
 
Instead of addressing the actual fucking problems, they’re making legislation that will make people doubt themselves in possibly lethal circumstances.

@Background Pony #3364  
thankfully tankies are rather unhinged and 95% of the left absolutely hates them.

Word on social media is that Trump is catching up to Biden and that the “Red Wave” is coming.
 
All I can say is make sure to vote if you can.
 
It may just be propaganda by Trump supporters but it’s wise to get people to vote.

@CaptainXtra
 
Trump could win. But a red wave is damn near impossible.
 
They haven’t a snowball’s chance in hell to take the house, and their chances in the Senate are a 1 in 6 chance to hold it.
 
Their best case scenario is a tie in the Senate, no further losses in the house, and winning the WH by a razor.

@NitroFury  
Okay, so why not have it regulated again, rather than perseverating on the idea that all forms—not just the bad ones—of capitalism need to be abolished and need to be replaced with some form of socialism or communism, then?
 
(At least, the latter scenario is not what you and/or Latecomer are supportive of, more than the former, right?)

@CaptainXtra  
Speaking of Trump supporters Silbasa hasn’t posted on here in a while?
 
Is he having phone/computer problems like people saying that GasMaskGuy98 on here has?

@Latecomer  
Not necessarily in a political way, no.

@Background Pony #4146  
It still makes no sense to me how one form of “(insert race here)ness” is somehow an evil scourge in today’s world and society, whereas any other form of “(insert race here)ness” is hypocritically praised and celebrated.

@Zincy  
This, except in how you’re regarding “consumerism”, as it really depends on what kind(s) of consumerism you’re talking about.

@Background Pony #3364
 
The aspect of consumerism that sees people as a commodity and growth as an endless, ever growing possibility.

@Background Pony #E7D6  
Hmm… a good point. Although if such a principle existed, would “wasting police time” be a thing?
 
 
@Background Pony #3364  
Indeed, I’m a social capitalist.
 
 
@Background Pony #3364  
Politicians are funded by capitalism. Lobbyists are funded by capitalism. The news is driven by capitalism. And that’s just the surface.

@Latecomer  
I honest-to-god don’t trust Kamala, as she has far less of a sufficient commitment to good, sound, and agreeable policy, rather than running off of the refrain “defeat Trump” than Tulsi does, which is why I still favor her over Harris, even for vice president.

@Latecomer  
Even though that is true, the political system of most capitalist countries itself (The U.S. included) is not capitalism.

@NitroFury  
Just one. It’s the same guy.

@Background Pony #3364  
I’m not sure everyone would agree.

@Latecomer  
Dude, not a single white moderate alive today—nor over the past 20-40 years—supports the same actually discriminatory things that Martin lambasted them for supporting or being ‘apathetic’ of, back when he wrote that letter.

@Latecomer  
Of course! I mean, tankies and far-leftists would never agree!

@Zincy
 
I don’t know bro, as it could go either way by a decent margin. I say that because the Trumpkins are pretty locked in, as are the police and armed forces, for Trump. A lot of people seem to be of the better the devil you know… opinion, and the left is furious at the liberals for being constantly attacked and disparaged into voting for someone they don’t like; and that will spill over regardless of who wins the presidency.
 
If all the leftists I’ve been talking to keep their word and go out and protest for M4A, green new deal, ICE abolishment, et cetera after Biden wins, I can guarantee you that the MSM and the liberals will go after them like never before; disparaging them as “ungrateful” and “entitled,” and criticising them for “sabotaging Biden’s chances to change things” and “not giving Biden a chance.”
 
Everything the right says about Antifa and BLM is [if Biden wins] what the liberals will be saying as well.

@Background Pony #3364  
Perhaps (at least, those who do can’t be called moderates). But they do oppose further progress in racial equalisation.

@Zincy  
I personally have an more nuanced view of that aspect, in that it’s fine if it’s used as an effective way to garner information about consumption patterns, stats, realities, etc. market-wise, so long as it doesn’t cross any legal, ethical, or moral lines that shouldn’t be crossed.

@Latecomer  
Well, depending on what exactly you mean as to what constitutes ‘racial equalization’, then yeah, they aren’t actual moderates.
