no that’s not what i said but thanks for putting words in my mouth. There’s a certain level of a security threat when someone from outside the system can come in and in less than a decade take power and introduce disastrous policy. Happens to be a communist, which, yes, we deported people based off of historically - because it’s disasterous and has killed hundreds of millions of people. And it all starts with price controls (on the labor and housing markets) and government run grocery stores
You’re using words that are framing this situation in a much more negative manner. He is not “taking power,” he won a primary and now the voters in New York City will decide democratically who should be the mayor. He’s not attempting some kind of coup. Who’s to say that, even if you disagree with someone’s politics, that they should be deported despite being elected fairly? Can’t you see how that’s an extremely slippery slope to start going down?
Bad assumption. I do feel like foreign meddling in our domestic politics, at any level, is bad. Because he’s a communist introducing policies that will end in disaster and increase inequality. At any level, yes he’s taking power by running for mayor… what else is it called when someone gets to office?
Sure, you can think foreign meddling is bad. But I want you to say with your whole chest that you want to deport any Congress people who advance legislation that make other countries a greater priority than the United States, not just the ones you pick and choose because you don’t like them. Call for the deportation of the Republican Congresspeople who introduced the Israel Anti-Boycott bill. I don’t think you will
But let’s say I’m the Joe Biden and I think Donald Trump’s policies will be disastrous for the US. Do I have the right to deport him or restrict him from taking office because of that? That’s basically what you’re proposing should be allowed in the US. The federal government shouldn’t be allowed to intervene in democratic elections, period.
hundreds of millions of people lmao. you do know the person who originated that number was a neo nazi right? and to get it they counted among other things, nazi soldiers who died at the battle of Stalingrad, aborted babies, babies never conceived due to contraception etc. it’s a made up number. If we consider only preventable starvation and drought, capitalism has killed over 2 billion people since its appearance a bit over 200 years ago.
