Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Law means nothing unless there's some means to enforce it
"Yes, the current system is slow and ineffective, and has done nothing to prevent the incarceration and deportation of innocent people, misappropriation of funds, and misuse of the military, but to demand anything else would be going against the ineffective system!"
The current process of Due Process is allowing blatantly illegal activities to continue unhindered because "we need to give them time to comply even when they are clearly not going to." You need a different process, and pointing out that the system is not working is perfectly valid.
Sure I do. Exact the same. Biggly.
A baseless adhominim does not refute my statement, you get that right?
Is not equal to "do away with the whole process".
Once again, if you're not going to bother reading things before replying to them then what's the point?
No, you're responding to what your want to argue against instead of what is actually being said. I'm not going to continue repeating myself to someone who has no intention of listening.
You immediately contradict yourself here. "Can't change anything without throwing away everything. Unless you're talking about making changes that is."
"You're not allowed to point out a flawed system unless you have a perfect solution! 'better' is not good enough if it's not perfect! To do otherwise must mean you're advocating for anarchy!"
I've said plenty and you haven't refuted any of it. I'm not repeating myself for you again.
I have repeated my point plenty, you made it clear you don't listen. Reread my posts and try again.
You should take a deep breath, calm down, and read what Cile wrote. They were pretty clear, but you keep yelling at them for things that they never said.
He is accurately pointing out that the current system isn't working. He never said to get rid of the whole thing, you did. If you think he is "repeating Trump's talking points" just because he said that the current system isn't working, then you need to work on your reading comprehension skills.
Additionally, you don't need to have a replacement or a fix, to be able to point out the flaws in the current system.
