  This post has about as much context as a map drawn by a blindfolded pirate. What is this all about?

    Well, 10 Democrats voted to censure another Democrat as noted in the image. The underlying context is that Greene was heckling Der Furher when he was having a spell of verbal diarrhea when speaking in the fascist Empire council chamber.

      Cheers! I work in tech and don’t know many US politicians so I read that as “A.I. Green” 🤖🟩

    It’s unclear what the fuck it’s about: a shitpost.

    Don’t know why Lemmy Shitpost is all politics now. It kinda ruins what I came here for.

  I called my representative and I was polite. “Hello, I just want to say that as a WA state resident, I am very disappointed by my representative licking Donald Trump’s boots by voting to censure Al Green. Thank you and goodbye.”

    Did you have to talk to someone or did you just leave a message?

      Somebody answered, I said my piece, then I hung up. I was not interested in having a conversation about it.

  Correct me if I’m wrong, but censures mean fuckall, right? It’s basically saying “you were naughty and I’m doing nothing about it”?

  • WraithGear@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    It’s mostly symbolic. But the last thing we need is democrats showing own goals, and stopping actual action against tyranny

      I agree. Just making sure it was just some weird optics things and not an actual way to quiet him.

    He was an American who betrayed the US to the British during the American Revolution.

    America’s original Judas. Look him up.

  • AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    An American military officer who first served on the side of the revolutionaries during the American revolutionary war. Part way through the war, he defected to the British side and fought against his former allies.

    His name has become synonymous with “traitor” in the USA. A bit like Vidkun Quisling in Norway who collaborated with the Nazis after Germany’s occupation of Norway in WW2.

    source

    • blackbelt352@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Fun bit of additional trivia about him, he was injured, shot in the leg while serving on the American side. After his defection, there is a likely apocryphal tale where he captured some Americans and asked what would happen if the situation were reversed. He was told his leg would get full burial honors and the rest of him would be hanged for treason. Funny enough there is a memorial of a leg at Saratoga for the injury he sustained and his importance at the battles in Saratoga but has nothing mentioning his name or the rest of his body. Which honestly is a level of pettiness to aspire to.

  There is a case to be made for not joining the race to the bottom. But likely these people constituents would be in favor of them voting this way. And in the end, that is who they are supposed to represent.

    We’re pretty damn near the bottom, bud. We need active resistance not polite words.

    • Modern_medicine_isnt@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I think an awful lot of people around the world would argue we are nowhere near the bottom.
