MODERATORS
Would you put your children in front of a firing squad just to say "Well I at least stand firm in my ideals"?
You are here presenting the situation as if it was a sudden development, rather than a known risk from the start. You are also presenting it as a definite certainty.
Neither of these presentations are correct.
If he believed in his ideals he would've finished this months ago and actually arrested trump instead of using it as a campaign talking point then giving up
Time it on the day of his withdrawal for maximum effect.
I will no longer be seeking reelection, which leaves me free to do what the QAnon people always wanted — military tribunal time!
My child is already in danger due to the dictatorship of capital. I don't get the luxury or privilege of making a minor work decision to save them.
You neatly sidestepped the question. Capitol puts everyone in danger, that isn't special. Would you do the special honors of placing your child in front of a firing squad if it meant you could say that you stood firm in your ideals?
And you are sidestepping multiple responses highlighting the flaws in your presented argument
I'm ignoring them because aren't good faith? I didn't say "Jack Smith is literally in this situation", I'm just pointing out how easy it is for armchair revolutionaries to snear from the sidelines when it's not their necks on the line.
That you dislike an answer does not make it bad faith
I found yours, yours is just like gibberish.
No, risk is a spectrum, like everything. The level of risk changes based on the situation. Jack found it to be an acceptable level of risk, the situation changed, the risk got higher, and it was no longer acceptable to him.
I was presenting a hypothetical situation where risk was the absolute maximum because I want people to use their heads and think about it, and maybe break out of the snearing circlejerk bubble for a second.
Talk about bad faith lol
Yes
Now go touch grass
I'm not a war crimes prosecutor? Pretty sure you're doing that by taking the job
