SE Hoya Containment Thread (aka Politics)
Welcome to the Official SE Politics Thread. The aim here is for high quality political discussion and debate. The concomitant aim here is for that high quality discussion and debate to NOT devolve into MAD posting, BAD posting, trolling, name-calling our community fracture.
We embark on this project hoping to encourage fair and thorough exchanges of views, and also fair and thorough advocacy for positions. We should learn a lot.
Rules
1. Posters are required to have 50 posts in SE over the last 365 days. This thread is not a proxy for the Politics forum, or an arena for goal-based issue advocacy from people we don't even know.
2. Pure devil's advocacy will not be tolerated unless it is identified by that poster as the aim of the particular post. There will be no run of the mill nitpickery for the sake of nitpickery.
3. This will be enforced loosely, but you are obligated to outline your basic position on whatever issue you're debating. We will not have loaded, gotcha-style internet-standard race to the bottom terrible posting in this thread. That does not mean you have to state every closely-held belief in every debate. You just can't hide the ball. "I'm not sure what my position is" is a completely valid position to hold.
4. Insults are out. You will not resort to that in this thread, because that will ruin this thread.
5. If you demonstrate an ongoing commitment to lowering the quality of discourse through incessant trolling or simply being really terrible, you'll be removed from this thread.
6. These are subject to significant revision as this thread develops.
There is a tradition in SE of better, fuller, funnier discussion of a really wide range of topics. Let's continue that here.
who is dan quayle endorsing?
is it a good thing to get the endorsement of the architect of an illegal war that killed millions and devastated entire regions?

Matters because he was the vp for 8 years and president for 6.
Big name recognition. Republican switching sides. Should be a story.
You and 72 harp on this genocide **** like we get it bro but not everyone cares about that kind of stuff.
Cheney doesnt have anything to do with the genocide. as filthy says, the Dems are now just Repubs.
all US politicians endorse the genocide USA was founded on. some less than others. but when you swear an oath to uphold and defend the constitution that was written by genocidal monsters, you are endorsing that genocide. it's what the flag represents.
Washington DC is named after George Washington who's policy was genocide. DC is named after Columbus who sold kids as sex slaves
the white house was built by slaves. it's insane. like everyone is just ok with this lol
i can't believe we haven't gone back in time and changed all that!
GENOCIDE!!!!!
(anyone want to carpool to the next genocide meeting??)

This is generational, Lebron-in-2013 level shitposting. ****ing bravo
😆
Reagan prosecuted bankers. Obama didn't.
nixon did affirmative action, and EPA
Clinton was the one who relaxed banking regulations that caused the 2008 crash
Obama escalated war in the middle east, and refused to go to climate conference
Obama campaigned on codifying roe v Wade, then changed his mind after elected
Biden had harsher border policy than bush
****ing dick ****ing Cheney is voting for the dem!!! probably bush is too
Biden literally bragged about being the most Republican Democrat there is
Obama decided not to put a judge on the supreme court at the end of his presidency, so he could let trump put one there
Al gore let the supreme court appoint bush president in 2000
they openly collude to keep out third parties

yeah you're right, dems are incredible people. the best
There's two options and technically Dems are in fact the best.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
For now.
It's just really funny to me that the adults in the room are like no you stupid child, we absolutely refuse to try to stop genocide, kids in cages, or the climate catastrophe
Dick Cheney, got to hand it to him. He is famously a democracy respecter and we can't let a million dead Iraqis be a purity test here. It's a difference of opinion
Do we still welcome Dick Cheney to the resistance?
i like how dems don't seem to appreciate that netanyahu is just gonna keep doing stuff like assassinating american protesters, dropping whatever this was on tents of displaced palestinians, genociding the west bank, attacking every country in the region in an attempt to draw usa#1 into a big middle east war, etc probably every day until the election in an attempt to get trump elected. i like how they don't care and aren't going to do literally anything about it. i guess they just straight up like all this, pretty hard to draw any other conclusion at this point
