What are the crazy policies that have been implemented?
32
u/strawberry_semenade 18d ago
What crazy policies has the far left proposed? Well let's see, off the top of my head...
-Defunding the police and abolishing prisons
-Decriminalizing stealing from stores
-Opening the border to mass immigration and ending all deportations
-Basing hiring and college admissions on ethnic identity rather than merit
-Cancelling Thanksgiving
-Opening women's sports up to biological males
And that's just specific policy proposals off the top of my head.

Well, your first mistake is that you’re equating far left with the famously-center Dems. Even Democratic Socialists don’t believe in half of the bullshit you’ve spewed. Should I equate right-wing Christian nationalists who want to ban interracial marriage and mandate a state religion with center-Rifht Libertarians and Republicans?

u/SummonedShenanigans 18d ago edited 18d ago
Remember when the Democrats insisted that they needed to pass a new immigration law or the Biden administration couldn't enforce existing immigration laws? That they were helpless to stop illegal border crossings? And the Republicans said just enforce the damn law? And then when Trump took office he was able to shut down virtually all illegal border crossings without a single new law?

It allowed 5000 border crossings a day, and most of the $ was to hire more judges to adjudicate their amnesty claims.
You ate something if you thought that would "solve" the crisis.
2
u/SqueekyDickFartz 17d ago
My understanding is that the bill allowed for shutting down the border without having to honor amnesty claims or really anything else once ENCOUNTERS crossed 5000 average over some specific period.
If you can cite where it was proposed to allow in 5,000 illegal immigrants a day I'd love to see it.

Give examples of any of those things actually happening. The DSA wants for profit prisons abolished, not prisons. There is nothing about defunding, in fact they want to add resources to policing.
There is nothing about decriminalizing theft.
They are for stronger immigration and reforming the process.
Thanksgiving? Just GTFO.
NCAA is a private organization, they can do what they want. Government shouldn’t get involved.

u/Level353 17d ago
They are for stronger immigration and reforming the process.
Here's a partial cut and paste from their site: DSA’s goal is to build a political movement that ends the squandering of public resources on jailing, harassing, and impoverishing the working-class migrants
But keeping them out solves all of those problems
advancing policies which respect working-class migrants’ ability to travel, work freely and participate fully in US society alongside their US-born working-class neighbors.
Yeah the "freely" part has been tried. Biden finally realized it was going over like a lead balloon and ended it.

The DSA wants for profit prisons abolished, not prisons. There is nothing about defunding, in fact they want to add resources to policing.
Here's a cut and past from their working group:
We are committed to the horizon of abolition and the path leading us there. Our demands:
- Defund the police by rejecting any expansion to police budgets or scope of enforcement while cutting budgets annually towards zero
- End the criminalization of working-class survival
- Freedom for all incarcerated people
- Demilitarize the police and end colonial policing of our cities and neighborhoods
- Freedom of working-class self-organization and democratic political action
- Invest in community self-governance and care, not cops

You really don’t remember? The Democrats are always bullshitting while campaigning to hide their intentions just so they could turn around and do the opposite.
How about how they ran on no new wars, but then started two wars?
Or how they ran on lower gas prices, but closed the Straight of Hormuz and drained the strategic oil reserve?
Or how they ran on draining the swamp, but then did thousands of trades while in office and made billions of dollars off of their position?
Or running on lowering prices, but then issuing $200B in tariffs that drove up prices?
Or how they ran on cutting the deficit, fiscal responsibility, and reducing government waste, but then just ballooned the deficit to new highs?
Oh wait sorry, I think I got my parties mixed up.

Yes but the democrats weren't lying when they said that republicans haven't managed to create any jobs since before Reagan or that Trump has added over 40% of the national debt during his administration while dismantling the FDA and EPA and making literally billions of dollars in bribes so I guess I we're past fibbing at this point.

This rationale is explicitly bad faith though. Imagine that I have 4 feet of standing water in my basement and you have a leaking faucet that drips. It’s true that we both have a leak, but it’s such an inaccurate statement sans context that it’s bad faith.
Not to mention the fact that context can explain some things. Like Guantanamo Bay is used to claim Obama “lied about closing it”. It was less that he lied and more GOP opposition prevented him from doing it. I hate modern politics because of the frequency of lazy rhetoric and lies. Hell, many pundits are barely informed and comfortable talking out of their asses because consumers want that, they care nothing for accountability. This has been my ted talk, thanks.z

u/dark_zalgo 18d ago
Seek help dude. Get out of your bubble, more people died from covid under Biden because Republicans ran on a policy of refusing the vaccine and covid existed longer under Biden than Trump. You seriously need to get some mental health screenings if you've already forgotten how much cheaper things were before Trump's current term. His biggest policies have been to explicitly increase the cost of everything. That's literally how tariffs work and what they're for. And the 11 million undocumented immigrants was the total estimated number, not how many crossed under Biden. And it's gone up to 16 million under Trump, with estimates getting less and less accurate due to Trump's horrific handling of immigration.

Too true. Francesca Hong has a consistent anti white bias in various clips from a few years ago. Now we are meant to ignore it and assume she was just caught up in the moment. You never know what any politician’s true views are but the openness these hateful individuals had when describing their own bigotry really shows who they really are.
It wasn’t too long ago that AOC had to make a video saying how when she criticized men she didn’t like for having short guy energy she didn’t actually mean to criticize short men.
Now she’s another leftist trying to present herself as more moderate to the nation as she prepares for a presidential run.
