Sorry to undo the effort of paying a domestic abuser $10 to own this poster, but I am going to lose my dang mind if I keep seeing multiple posters who appear to be Baloogan.

I was thinking today about the george floyd and wondering, why now are we seeing dems push "reform" legislation and taking a stand, albeit very superficially. it's especially curious as we had a similar killing with eric garner years ago. I decided to look at pelosi's statments then and now to gain insight:

pelosi on george floyd posted:

"The martyrdom of George Floyd has evoked such a response of peaceful demonstrators calling for the change that they know our country needs as we go forward," Pelosi said Monday. "It's a prayerful moment. It's a transformative moment. We have a responsibility to take advantage of it."

"George Floyd's a martyr and the beauty of his family and how they have the dignity and inspirational way that they have led us through this mourning period," Pelosi said. "Let us hope that after tomorrow he will rest in peace and his passing will be a passage of peace for the country."

ok, she calls him a martyr, which indicates she feels he was killed by an unjust force

pelosi on eric garner posted:

“Tonight, in communities across the country, Americans are grieving the tragic deaths of unarmed citizens. Neither Eric Garner, nor Tamir Rice, nor Michael Brown deserved to be killed, and as we search for healing and progress for their families, it is my hope that the demonstrations in their name will remain peaceful and that their voices will be heard.

“I support President Obama’s recent call for measures to increase trust between law enforcement and their communities — including new limits on the use of military style equipment and new funds for body cameras for police officers.

"All lives matter. We must work to ensure that law enforcement has the resources, training, and commitment to community needed to uphold our laws and keep our families safe. Any one of these deaths would be a tragedy, but three such incidents appear to be a clear pattern, and that’s why the efforts by Attorney General Holder and the Department of Justice are so critical to ensure that injustice in any American community is transformed into the equality under the law that all Americans deserve.”

wow. her language here is waaaay more neutral. tragic deaths. they were killed, not murdered (and kill doesn't have quite the connotation of marytred). what's especially interesting is she's praising the exact same policies back then as in her new reform bill. I wonder why obama's policies didn't actually stop the murder of black americans, but this new bill that does the same stuff will.

one thing that's interesting is she calls for the DoJ to determine if something bad happened in both the eric garner and michael brown cases. from her language on george floyd, it seems obvious she's made a decision on the justifiability of his murder without the DoJ needing to tell her "no actually it was ok". I would guess it's all about trump in this case. if there were a dem president (like obama), they'd say "oh it's such a tragedy lets get the DoJ involved" and ask everyone to wait for judgement until an investigate (which would after years and years, come back as "the police were fully justified", as we saw in the obama-era killings).

my point with all this is that it seems like pretty cut and dried evidence that the democrats act to block change whenever they're in power, and only advocate for change when they're not totally in power. you could try to claim that pelosi just doesn't trust the DoJ to mete out justice appropriately under trump. but it wasn't able to do that under obama either, and rather than making her own judgement on things, she deferred to an investigation there.

sorry for the DnD post, but I thought it would just be interesting to look back at the democrats' responses to black people getting murdered pre-trump

Bernie was always a compromise candidate for the left in my eye (he'd be comfortably centrist in several places outside the US) but it still loving sucks to see how quickly he folded and started trying to sell the left up the river to Joe for the vaguest possible hint of a policy figleaf. :sigh:

does biden even have anything that can reasonably be called a pro trans policy i think some d and der was fawning over some vague focus grouped bullshit on bidens website but as far as i know hes never actually said that hes going to like change title nine interpretations or gendered prison assignments and im not sure hed even know what these policies were or are if someone asked him about them

they most i ever see as far as trans and disability rights for most politicians is a vague note on their policy page somewhere saying that they support them.


FartingBedpost posted:

Just here to reiterate that I will never consider a vote for Joe Biden, the man who helped set forward a war in which two of my cousins got PTSD from and effected my moms family’s life in such an immensely negative way that my seething hatred for him is larger than my hatred of even George W Bush.

i got married young and fast because my fiance was going to be shipped off to iraq not long after the war started. he was abusive af and if he hadn't been about to be deployed we wouldn't have rushed to marry to get a chance to be together since he was stationed across the country at the time.

basically, joe biden didn't rape and abuse me, but if he have lobbied for a war in Iraq, it likely never would have happened. so yeah not gonna vote for him

Bernie's not an accelerationist, and he was never going to split the party and risk re-running the election of 1912. I dunno, I just can't summon any bile about it, we all know four more years of trump is going to be terrible.

it's hard to be mad at bernie. he pushed pretty hard but in the end better things weren't possible

but I see his recent endorsements and the like as a sort of "nothing I tried worked so i may as well throw in the towel and hope that something, anything comes of this".

we all know better (because it won't result in anything). it's just sad.

(still not voting for joe)
