I haven't so much as heard them talk about the issue in I don't even know how long. (Aside from Biden saying we should give cops MORE funding) But now, 3ish months out from the election...
Should they stop trying to do things as they approach an election?
What are they trying to do? I see a soundbite. An empty platitude. D doesn't have the votes. No one, including Biden, thinks this bill will now get passed because he made this statement.
.
The person you’re replying to is a contrarian troll. No matter what you say, they’re gonna blame Democrats and not Republicans. Because they are a troll. stop, feeding the troll.
so Chinese dissidents or any political dissident such as Martin Luther King Jr or Jewish people in Germany during the Nazi Reign are by this definition contrarian trolls that denounced the majority persuasion?
Lmao
Did you really just compare yourself to Martin Luther King?
no was not
was pointing out the fact that as time passes the labels people get stuck with might sound different years later
Martin Luther King was someone who denounced the majority persuasion and we all benefited from the progress born of his struggles and sacrifices to this day
that was my point
I see, so you think Dr. King denounced white people. Yes, that's what he did for sure. He literally went out there and told white people to go fuck themselves for being white.
Very accurate reading of history.
the majority persuasion was that some people are less than and because he challenged that notion we have more rights today and are able to fight for more
whole reason me and you are able to debate/ discuss topics on the web today because he stood against the incoming tide of persuasion that him and a bunch others were less than and said hell no we are people too
That's not what that phrase means. At all. That might have been the majority opinion.
When you say something like "the majority persuasion," it means white people.
And you are putting the entirety of the civil rights movements on the words of one man, which is incredibly unfair to the huge number of very hard-working Americans, including some who eventually were in the U.S. government and endorsed that horrible, evil, racist Joe Biden you hate so much- notably these two:
John Lewis
and Bernie Sanders
If you are going to use phrases you don't understand, at least don't use them when completely mangling American history.
It would have been pretty hard for me to call it empty platitudes for votes, aside from the 1 month ago window. But what would really cook my goose would be if they'd said it 18 months, 12 months, 6 months, 1 month, 3 months, 9 months and a shitload of other times ago. The way you message on issues that matter to you.
