This is why no one trusts Democrats. The constant triangulation leaves them in this space where you can never tell which side of their mouth is the one saying what they really believe. So whenever they say anything, it always feels like they’re hiding something.

[-] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 59 points 2 months ago

They're also just as susceptible to the arguments Republicans make, so long as Democrats make them

"Oh border security" is an argument they used to viciously mock

Suddenly, it's an 'issue'? Is it really, or did the political party you lie down with decide they were going to stop fighting it?

[-] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 41 points 2 months ago

yes they implemented Romneycare instead of universal Healthcare/medicaid for all but that's only because it was the best they could do in a short period of time

Or from the dnc, we will have the most lethal military ever!

What the hell is triangulation I have never seen that word so many times in my life

[-] invo_rt@hexbear.net 42 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

triangulation

It has other meanings, but In politics, it's when a politician adopts some aspects of the opposing party's stance on an issue in an attempt to shield themselves from political attacks on that issue.

The entire "triangulation" political strategy is credited to Clinton's presidency and specifically refers to Dems trying to appear above the fray as enlightened centrists by kicking the left and accepting the right's framing on issues to "get things done" and prevent rhetorical attacks from the right. That's how we ended up with the Dems passing huge right wing legislation like NATFA, the crime bill, gutting welfare, right wing private insurance reform, etc. It's a stupid tactic because the GOP will call them demonic commies even if they sponsor GOP bills themselves.

That's what the Dems became after the DLC party reforms in the 90s and they've spent more than two decades capitulating and pre-negotiating with themselves. Dem leadership is all from that era which is why you get people like Pelosi et al saying they want a strong GOP or whatever.

IIRC I think one of the Chapos said that the Biden/Harris admin embracing "tough on immigration" policies looked to a casual observer like the Dems got caught doing what the Republicans are accusing them of (bringing in illegals to steal jobs and vote for the Dems) and are trying to backtrack in a panic. Why else would they be crying about Orange Hitler's policies in 2020 and then rushing to "close down the Southern Border if the Dem immigration bill is passed" in 2023?!

Yeah the border was a mess because, instead of just letting people through, you insisted on shooting each other and yourselves in the head and feet. Some of you even drowned while trying to drown other people.

I'm actually 100% serious. The people sent to guard the border weren't the best and there were multiple firearm accidents involving US troops shooting each other or themselves. One guy was spinning a pistol in his hand wild west style when he accidentally set it off.

Sexually objectifying a stranger because you like their tweets, what the fuck.

What's wild is how this is very upvoted, but let's say it was a woman who made a tweet and someone commented that they would go down on her for her service. That would get removed and certainly no one would just fucking let it pass. Gross as hell.

I've been saying for years: Democrats' problem with the Holocaust wasn't because it was the fucking Holocaust. Their problem was the SS didn't get sensitivity training seminars.

Fuck these guys and their "Are you sure this is a good use of your time? smuglord" responses. Both extremely condescending and yet extremely childish at the same time, like they're a 6 year old trying to emulate a teacher giving a lecture.

what do you expect from a white guy representing Hawaii?

[-] ZWQbpkzl@hexbear.net 24 points 2 months ago

Holy shit. He's from Hawaii and he gives any fucks about the border? That affects absolutely zero Hawaiians and he should be exclusively about sending more money to Hawaii.

[-] godlessworm@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago

he's literally a colonizer crying about "border security". i mean every cracker in america that's on this shit is, but added that he's representing hawaii. damn
