No matter how radical any republican may think the left could be, the current people in charge are both actively protecting pedophiles, and are, themselves, guilty of abusing children.

Maybe we need some radical left right now, eh? Maybe the child rapists shouldn't be in charge.

[–] Aneb@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Well these are the same folks with pedos running their hometown church. Pedophiles run deep in the church I expect them to elect them without thought

[–] P1k1e@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

Don't reason with idiots, just give em the boot and spit on em on the way out

[–] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 11 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

can trump even be impeached anymore? as legally, whatever he does isn't a crime?

legally, he's a tyrant and the law protects him.

how come it is the republicans who are making the campaign statements dems should be making?

[–] _Nico198X_@europe.pub 21 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

there is no "radical left." an enemy that does not exist.

wish there was

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 5 points 16 hours ago

"Radical left" is the Dems who actually want to do something. Don't worry though there aren't enough of them to get the job done.

[–] balsoft@lemmy.ml 3 points 16 hours ago

I mean, it should. But it doesn't.

[–] Microtonal_Banana@lemmy.zip 9 points 16 hours ago

It would be so cool if we really had a radical left instead of the status quo centrists he's actually referring to.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 7 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

the radical left

No middle ground, huh?

If you see all world as an enemy, the enemy will be you.

[–] collapse_already@lemmy.ml 8 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Why are you protecting a known felon, Mike?

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 2 points 13 hours ago

you in that little black book, mike?

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 15 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (1 children)

I wouldn't be getting my hopes up.

If there's one thing watching US politics, from Europe these last +20 years, has taught me, then it's this:

Even with a solid majority, the house and senate democrats will be too full of individual self-interests too do anything of the sort.

The democrats need something like the heritage foundation to effectively herd them into a unified collaborating political party.

[–] balsoft@lemmy.ml 9 points 16 hours ago

Even with a solid majority, the house and senate democrats will be too full of individual self-interests too do anything of the sort.

It's not individual self-interests, it's pretty blatant corruption to protect their donors, the US oligarchs. Any real investigation into republicans will implicate "democrat" billionaires as well.

the boogeyman of the right, the mythical left of the USA. says the PORN(probably gay or trans) obsessed man.

[–] Ryanmiller70@lemmy.zip 5 points 18 hours ago

There will just be a Dem Boogeyman for everyone to blame on why the party never does anything like Manchin and Sinema. They always just so happen to find a couple whenever they have a majority so they never have to actually do anything.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 116 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yet again Republicans think Democrats are way cooler than they are.

[–] mcqtom@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The left is totally radical.

[–] kn33@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

Yeah, Trump's already been impeached twice and he got re-elected. So what the hell is Mikey complaining about? Who cares if the president is impeached?

[–] inb4_FoundTheVegan@lemmy.world 9 points 22 hours ago

Third times the charm?

Not like it matters unless removal.

[–] DickFiasco@sh.itjust.works 57 points 1 day ago

I'm already voting Democrat, Mike. You don't have to sell it to me.

[–] Flamekebab@piefed.social 53 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is this "American left wing" in the room with us right now?

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 1 day ago (2 children)

In America they've calibrated the political compass with Hitler at 0,0

[–] AstaKask@lemmy.cafe 6 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

People have the weirdest political compasses now. Spoke to a crypto bloke the other day who was emphatic about Nazism being "leftist" ideology.

[–] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

That's years old right wing propaganda spread by the likes of Alex Jones for years. They use the 'socialism' in "national socialist" (part of the term Nazi comes from) to argue so, ignoring the fact that anyone can make a name whether or not it's true. If any socialist plans were made by the Nazis, it was of course racist first; only the in group gets any benefit.

These are old ideas that were niche at first but have been moving out into the public as the right shifts the Overton window. Stuff we'd dismiss at ridiculous crazy yelly conspiracy man is now mainstream even with people who might not want to be associated with Jones.

[–] frostysauce@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

Yeah, I love that one. "They have socialist in the name!" So you believe the People's Democratic Republic of Korea is all of those things?

The Nazis have socialist in the name because they joined with socialists in the early days to consolidate power and then they killed the socialists. Who what it they first came for in that poem? The fucking socialists.

[–] TomArrr@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And every one knows he was a lefty, right?

[–] fantasyocean@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

To the American conservative? "National socialism" is all they need to hear, then they stop thinking

[–] Rothe@piefed.social 7 points 19 hours ago

American conservatives: "Hitler was a socialist. Also he did nothing wrong".

[–] ordnance_qf_17_pounder@reddthat.com 72 points 1 day ago (7 children)

Radical left, meaningless term from these cunts. You could be anyone from Obama to Stalin and they'd still use it as an insult.

If they think it's the radical left advocating for the expected and traditional use of law as written and to it's normal effect, boy howdy have they got another thing coming.

[–] fodor@lemmy.zip 20 points 1 day ago

No shit. That guy's in the Epstein Files. How can you not impeach him?

[–] Vex_Detrause@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

'Yes! Keep our majority so our supreme leader can skirt around the law.'

[–] mean_bean279@lemmy.world 4 points 21 hours ago

My concern if the dems do impeach Trump IF they win the midterms is that either he will not step down (which he can technically do) and then it’s moot. Or we impeach Trump, get Vance and then because he didn’t suck as bad as Trump we get another 4 years of a republican president.

[–] FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 4 points 22 hours ago

Don't threaten us with a good time

[–] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nothing happens even if they do, so what's the worry?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 22 hours ago

about the Republican voters starting to second guess their votes, this is just internal consumption for the right wing voters.

[–] fu@libranet.de 9 points 1 day ago

Well you don't even need the RADICAL left to do that.

Because he should be.
