There’s a whole lot of missing the point here. I highly suggest American folks go read some of the commentary on r/onguardforthee to see how Canadians feel about what is in their best interests right now.

Provided they bring Canadians on to have this conversation with people from both countries, I’m sure that will be a valuable dialogue.

I have had multiple conversations with Canadian friends in which they have made it clear they are going to act in their own best interests right now, and that they recognize that might hurt American citizens but that is what they have to do. I listen to them, not some stranger attempting a gotcha.

The suggestion I was responding to originally was that Americans pressure Canada into not doing business with El Salvadorian manufacturers. Not in response to Americans doing what we need to do.

There is a difference between “ask” and “pressure” and considering the fact that Canadian businesses are boycotting American goods right now, a move which directly affects American citizens more than it affects the government, they are clearly and rightfully placing their countries needs first r/n.

When we are talking about economically pressuring Canada to stop using El Salvadorian manufacturers, on behalf of American politics because of what the American and El Salvadorian governments are doing, that is pressuring Canada to do something on behalf of the US. We are in no position to do that.

We cannot ethically pressure Canada to do anything for the US right now.

In plain speak “of course I’m against violence BUT” means you are, in fact, not against violence.

There are a lot of things I will sit down and have a conversation with you about, but whataboutism and land debates on this? Nope. You’re either against children dying or you’re for it if they’re inconvenient to Israel. The second option nullifies your right to speak.

Make racists afraid again.

“Paige you criticized her are you just trying to avoid-” no. I’m not. I just think it’s really fucking gross when you celebrate people losing fundamental human rights for any reason at all. Like it’s not okay when the right does it but it’s fine when it suits your karmic narrative?Textbook Hypocrisy

Yes, I’m talking about your reaction to these dudes losing their rights.

At some point we really need to collectively learn the lesson that hitler rose to power because the right was able to unite via hate and the left just kept eating itself alive.

And then maybe stop eating each other alive and focus instead on the real enemy.

Constitutional amendments require a 2/3 majority.

There is no indication this endeavor will be successful now. It’s just getting coverage now. It’s another prime example of hypocrisy in reporting between democrat and republican actions and not addressing their overlaps.

Democratic congressman Jose Serrano has pulled this exact same stunt 9 times. In fact this type of bill has been introduced 55 times across party lines since 1956. Research shit, I’m begging all of you.
