Found the belta

But in reality, the expanse is a really good mirror to the current situation in Gaza. Hardline factions force each other to take retaliatory action and civilians suffer on mass. Both sides are victim and perpetrator at the same time and the people that pay the price were not those that made the decisions.

It does feel like we will reach the point of no return within our lifetime. It'd be really nice if we had established a universal basic income and universal human rights before we reach the point where human labor no longer gives us political influence.

It isn't an accomplishment, it is a band-aid and admission of his failure to influence the legislator.

But you also said that the president shouldn't receive any credit for the actions of Congress. You seem poised to not give the executive branch any accolades.

Damn, everyone could have been right if the OG just relented. He changed his mind to agree people don't change their minds? Chess grandmaster move right there... What a missed opportunity.

Agreed, they're not a good solution. Just responding to the previous guy who said 'congress is probably responsible for all this stuff' with an example that is obviously counter to that statement.

You have valid complaints here, none of which were originally stated. You said:

Brainwash bullshit, yikes. Even if these things were true it was congress that passes laws and enacts legislation and not the president dictating this shit.

All I was trying to do was point out that this statement is blatantly false with evidence from the original meme.

I agree with most of your sentiment, EOs are not long term solutions. You can't say that the president is not responsible for them though.

One of the panels literally says Executive Order #...

Yes, I'm being nit-picky. All I was trying to say was the original phrasing was "democracy at large says an insurrectionist cannot run for office" which is untrue. It is a US implementation of democracy specific case.

Another country could have no restrictions on candidates and it would be completely democratic for an insurrectionist to run for office.

Removing a proven insurrectionist from the ballot is ~~DEMOCRACY~~ following the rule of law in the United States. Exempting individuals from the rule of law is anti-democratic.

All people having representation and subject to the rule of law are fundamental principles of democracy.

Guilty, I have a standard transmission AWD car and it is so much fun to drift corners in the snow!

I never do it in traffic or near other drivers, though. They don't deserve to pay for the consequences of my stupidity.
