I very much want the next D running for president and ALL the members of Congress to swear that, once elected, they WILL implement a Nuremberg-like tribunal and ALL parties involved, yes, even those 'just following orders', will be tried and punished, up to, and including, execution.
No, you never announce that ahead of time. That would make every heavily-armed ICE thug a desperate person. You just say that you have firm plans for holding people responsible. Everyone will assume you're just talking about the leadership. Once you get into office you can make intentions clear.
the problem is that voters are going to withhold their support unless the Democrat candidate announces this ahead of time. They did it in the 2024 election, and they have explicitly made their intentions to do so again in 2028. [1/2]
I think by the time 2028 comes around, that's the last thing the voters will be thinking about. We're going to see a lot of horrific shit between now and then.
Unless Democrats win the House in 2026 and can stop a lot of this.
[2/2] We're stuck in a Catch 22 until we can convince our peers that the DNC are gaslighting the MAGA trash and not us, which is impossible because our peers have more in common with MAGA than they do with us.
Anyone withholding their vote over ANY single issue can go fuck themselves. That's what got us into this. "Oh, you won't guarantee reparations for slavery? Won't vote". "Oh, you won't be 100% on every issue the trans community wants? No vote for you!" "Oh, you won't cut ties with Israel? No vote."
I agree wholeheartedly.
