Since you’re getting troll comments from right wingers I’ll try to give an actual answer
Feinstein was no longer mentally fit to serve in office. She was essentially the pre-cursor to a weekend at Bernie’s setup. She was not cognitively present enough to vote on legislation or even hold a conversation.
People are glad she passed because it means her seat is open to someone who can actually work on policy and benefit their constituents.
Liberals are not exactly a fan of letting the elderly die in office after the RBG situation that ended up with a stacked court when she had the option to retire under Obama.
Also Lemmy has definitely been having more right wing trolls recently and it’s making me want to use the platform less.
God forbid your echo chamber get tainted 🙄
I’m not interested in seeing blatant hate, homophobia, transphobia, sexism and racism.
There’s no such thing as a right wing voter with any common sense anymore. None have any arguments other than being allowed to hate.
It’s this kind of petulant behavior right here. Calling everyone you don’t like a nazi just gets you ignored.
I didn’t call anyone a nazi. You did. I just listed a list of reprehensible behaviors and you felt attacked
I didn’t feel attacked at all? I’m not a right winger at all, just pointing out that your extremist language helps nobody.
There’s no extremist language at all. It’s a simple statement of facts.
The right wing of American politics explicitly supports racism, sexism, homophobia and transphobia.
The fact that you got triggered and ran to “nazis” shows a lot more about you.
Sir, you can drop the personal attacks, I already said I’m not a rightoid or anywhere near there.
I have a personal friend, grew up on a cattle ranch, best friend was a black kid that worked with him. He voted republican all the time because he (wrongly) thought they represented his way of life.
Some loser like you comes along and calls him a racist, sexist, homophobe, transphobe, etc. etc. etc. ad nauseam does absolutely nothing but undo years of work trying to drag him to the light. You’re acting as ignorant as he is.
“I can’t be racist, I have a black friend”
At this point anyone who still willingly voted for the Republican Party is explicitly endorsing those ideals. Ignorance is not an excuse. If you vote for American republicans you’re outwardly and explicitly condoning those behaviors.
It’s not my job to make them feel comfortable. If they support those policies they’re not worth the breath it would take to try to explain it.
Let me repeat it. Ignorance is not an excuse.
Also the only one resorting to personal attacks is you
Do you get offended when people don't appreciate queer culture and exposing children to sexually charged drag shows?
Do you get offended when the Democratic party is cast as only pandering to minorities to get their vote?
Do you feel like you also shouldn't own a gun?
Let's try some generalizations since you can't be hurt by them.
If you're not queer you shouldn't be offended.
No, because that’s all false generalizations. But you know that and aren’t looking for conversation, you just want some gotcha moment.
Drag is not inherently sexual, and family friendly drag shows are not sexual at all, despite the lies you e been told.
I’m not sure what you’re trying to get at. We’re all very well aware the dnc is as corrupt as the rnc, but one side actively works against the interest of minorities and one doesn’t.
I feel nobody should own guns and we’d all be safer for it. There’s no reason anyone needs a gun except to defend themselves from another gun, which wouldn’t be a problem if we had any kind of common sense gun laws.
You’re not gonna get the response you want.
Yeah and neither are you. You attack with broad strokes and retreat behind little ticks. Weak.
Everyone should own guns it's our RIGHT it is not given by the government.
You will never get rid of guns in this country and rightly so, as intended.You want to piss away our rights where millions have died to protect.
Fuck off already.
They didn't make any personal attacks.
The fact that they’re taking my broad generalizations about the Republican Party as personal attacks is very telling
Oh man that's honestly the funniest thing I've seen all day lol
"racism, sexism, and homophobia are bad"
"whoa whoa whoa man, cool it with the personal attacks"
Talk about telling on yourself lol
😭
Jeeeesus christ you're sucking that personal outrage cock like nobody's business.
You: I'm not a right winger at all
Also you: Folks, never vote democrat
Given that we (unfortunately) exist in a two party system, it's either one or the other bud, and I think we all know which answer is actually true to your beliefs lol
And before you respond with "I was just mocking the guy above me". The fact that your whole post history is mocking democrats, and never Republicans says all you need to know lol
I mean, there’s not a lot of repubs to engage with on this platform. But you’re right, we exist in a two party system and both parties are too far right for me to vote for either.
Doesn’t stop me from calling out conservatives that vindicate themselves by voting D.
They weren't talking about you, they were making a point.
They weren't making a point, they were parroting a cliche that they've used so many times before, that they don't even wait for the proper context before reusing it again.
Just because you disagree or it was a cliche doesn't mean they weren't making a point.
I’m fine with being ignored by Nazis
I wish they'd ignore me but noooo...
Calling yourself a Nazi is fairly effective at getting you ignored, however.
Should be punched in the face but our society is sadly full of cowards these days.
God damn you people are stupid. You dont even have an argument, you're just crying that someone doesnt like racists.
Literal strawman. You people are fucking dull.
As someone who leans left and hates the GOP, you're absolutely right. Lemmy is an echochamber full of a lot of nonsense that limits it's potential and just causes more division and problems.
So your response to a reasonable statement about this being an echochamber is a strawman attack against me... ok.
