    Democratic leaders are calling the bombing and kidnapping wreckless acts, not illegal acts. Schumer has never said or even strongly wrote the word “illegal.”

    Democratic leadership is okay with this illegal war and will do everything it can to legitimize it. Schumer is aligned with trumps oil and imperialist goals

    Who cares if he had the authority or not.

    What matters is that the people of Venezuela did not consent to his imperialistic actions. Not whether he has authority to make imperialistic actions.

    Liberals, please stop with leading with the legal minutiae. Stop pretending that you would’ve been fine with this if only Trump had congressional approval. You know it’s just about oil and imperialism. Trump literally spelt it out for you. Stop censoring yourself because you think its “strategic”. Its not.

      Saying “Trump did X and broke the law doing it” is not the same thing as saying “This would be fine if Trump had done it through legal channels”.

        I literally said I know you oppose the action. Put that on the sign, its the most important thing.

          Maybe we’re reading things differently, but I thought their sign implied that fairly strongly, just that they wanted to tack “Trump is a criminal” onto that without drastically increasing the wording.

            Maybe that’s what they intended but I’ve noticed a trend of liberals immediately triangulating themselves into this “least-controversial” legalistic take because they don’t want to talk about Maduro. A stalinist waving a PSUV flag is more helpful at that point.

            I’m not accusing you in particular of this or OP for that matter.

              Quit calling people you don’t know liberals. That’s a trend that needs to stop, comrade. Most of the people you say that shit to are on our side, they just don’t put the terms and thoughts together.

              Also, go complain to the protestors, or better yet, be at the protests.

              If you want real change, quit nitpicking people on lemmy.

                Isn’t everyone on this site a liberal though? I don’t think I’ve seen a single conservative on here.

                  Most people on most instances here I’ve encountered appear to be leftist more than liberal.

      My uneducated guess:

      “ANTIFA is designated as terrorists or something now but…this is an entirely different group and we ALSO are sick of your crap!” Lol

        The funniest part is that labeling antifa a terrorist orgnaization is like labeling leaves the best purple. It isnt an organization or group. They know that though.
