No that's factually false. If you pull up the documents directly from the legislature, they were not punished for peaceful protests.
They were punished for breaking the rules that they themselves had already agreed to, and so the accountability that they also agreed to was triggered.
You can't just stand in the way of the democratic process without facing any consequences.
What in the world are you going on about?
Yelling bumper sticker slogans doesn't get anybody anywhere. In fact it helps promote injustice by distracting from realities.
Your lack of comprehension is neither surprising nor concerning. Bad faith calls for fake civility while uncivil acts are perpetrated will no longer be tolerated unchallenged.
Sure, you're welcome to bash people for not comprehending whatever point you're trying to make, but in the end if you want to convince people of your perspective, whatever that is, you do have to communicate effectively.
Or else why bother trying?
So maybe a different bumper sticker slogan will get your point across? Maybe you just haven't found the right one yet? Want to try again?
Kiddo; I have no doubt that I am never gonna convince any "volk" of anything. I have an entirely different experience for anyone with that dogwhistle. My words are for those who might see yours as some sort valid standpoint (it isn't).
Ha! What dog whistle? I strongly suspect that you don't realize my screen name is an extremely nerdy Star Trek reference :-)
But now I'm curious as to what significant misinterpretation you have for about it?
@volkris @mstrmustache @DrALJONES Funny that I understood exactly what point Mr. Mustache was trying to make just fine. Also funny that you resort to *clears throat with pompous decorum* "hindering the democratic process". And actually hilarious that you devalue and diminish their activism to bumper sticker slogans.
I simply cannot stop laughing! Worthy of a circus.
I am glad you are so amused at the hindering of the democratic process.
Perhaps we shall have more of it to keep you entertained for the next season of the reality TV show!
@volkris Don't get me wrong, boo, the real show is in the comment section of social media defending the abuse of power!
Your *classic* juggling act of people's human rights in favor of the status quo while masquerading as a lawful citizen is exquisite. It's truly worthy of Cirque du Soleil and I want front-row seats.
But it's not an interesting show.
People spouting out slogans that were tired the day they were invented is just boring, the same old nonsense.
@volkris It's sarcasm broski, read between all the lines
@volkris @mstrmustache @DrALJONES
If the US followed decorum in the forum it would not exist ,Even then if gentlemen's rules of war were followed Americans would have stood in uniform & fought with honour, but they
were terrorists breaking all laws cowardly snipping from the woods old chap. Such bad taste.
When lawfully drawn laws are used to enable injustice there is no law at all.
HItler broke no laws. Charles Mason went to jai l& hurt no one.When laws become chains Justice reigns
For the record the US is not a democracy ,it is a mockery of democracy that denies every man a vote so no black man could win, Electoral college, wha tda fk is that . A corrupt injus rigged system has no legal or moral authourity to demand that which it is not
Global Democracy index 2020 shows the US as a flawed democracy .Pres Jimmy Carter in his nobel speech said he could understand why the US had trouble exporting US Democracy . Canada is one of about 22 full democracies left in the world as democracy is under attack worldwide .
@PBruce @volkris @DrALJONES And yet, if you look at countries with the happiest people, the full dem9cracies are all in the top. #AspireToFullHappiness
@AstroAttorney @volkris @DrALJONES
Yes, as well as quality & equality of life etc and also the least religious. Religion is not viewed as essential to national identity -In God we trust. Happy heathens 😂 😂 Rights are inherently human ,not God given , but usually God taken ,as womens'' inherent rights in America are legally but unjustly ,inhumanly, taken away .Sorry, crappy typist
@PBruce @AstroAttorney @volkris @DrALJONES Which God. They abound
@JohnLoader6 @AstroAttorney @volkris @DrALJONES
Any God is bad news but the Church of America is the Christian God . However, the name is vague & generic so any may interpret as they wish
@PBruce @AstroAttorney @volkris @DrALJONES I'm a fan of Bacchus myself
@AstroAttorney @PBruce @DrALJONES
Yes but correct for population size and diversity
The Full Democracy Index for 2022 ,as many variables are considered .
The IDU, International Democratic Union -International Demonic Union , fascists are us- is the organized engine of democratic destruction ,has been around for quite a while, acts openly and brazenly, under the mantle of law with great success. A look at the countries and parties involved illustrates this
But the US could be a great democracy if it was true to it's founding principals & not the skewed sly lies of interpretation/implementation & the fallacy of equal rights ,as 1 person ,1 vote is democracy and would reflect the will of the majourity ,not the corruption of money , dishonesty , NRA minority
Most Americans want Assault weapon control ,a regulated military weaponry.
Most want healthcare for all, independent of the Boss man
Most want freedom from poverty
@PBruce @volkris @DrALJONES Just like the UK now.
@JohnLoader6 @volkris @DrALJONES
The crowd that worked
to support Brexit here -The IDU cohorts- the Cons, tories, far right extremists ,were the ones that attacked our capital, blocked our borders , literally sh*t on the the tomb of the unknown soldier plotted murder, involved, Trump's advisor and their American wing , and wanted a Wexit , were Petro Devil inspired experts at invasions & mass murders eg BP , and racists so yup, Petrio/Rich Proxy Govt Weaponized covid to kill, yup
The idea that the US system is set up so that no black man could win is going to be quite news to all the black men who have won.
You ask what the Electoral College is?
Do you actually want to know the answer, or do you want to just throw out questions and just enjoy that rhetorical ignorance?
Because there are extremely good answers to why EC exists, many of them becoming very front and center during the last defeat of Trump.
When someone is triggered so easily ,it is usually because there is a truth they cannot countenance .
It is also common to use an isolated event as justification for underlying systemic injustice
But that has no appeal to me
Bye blocked
@volkris @DrALJONES Right, but to enforce these rules with these consequences while ignoring many other worse instances by people who didn't call you out for horrible things you are doing is not just enforcing the rules. It is targeted retaliation done in a way that can be denied in the way you did.
It's the same as on the old days of getting around "can't make it illegal to deny black people the vote" laws by enacting poll taxes and reading tests.
What are examples of many other worst instances of similar things?
@volkris @DrALJONES off the top of my head;:
1. Deliberately misgendering her at every turn. Hardly the civility and respect they demand from her.
2. Still supported Gov Giaforte after he choked slammed a journalist
3. In the TN incident they have an admitted child molester still serving
Those strike me as pretty different from this blatant violation of the rules of the chamber and interfering with the democratic process.
It's one thing to be a jerk. It's another to so flatly interfere with the institution one is a part of.
@volkris @DrALJONES
No justice? No peace.
Know justice. Know peace.
GTFOH with the pearl clutching calls for civility while they legislate away people's lives, family, and friends.
