Rights are only what the politicians' check writers say they are no matter who is in office

Terry Stops have been a thing for decades and allows police to stop and frisk people, vehicles, ecectera without probable cause

thanks Ortiz for doing more than even Biden ever would have done during any of his time as a politician

maybe real Democrats do exist

never had a non-white president

would love to have had real representation and it would have been cool to see someone that looks like me or the people out of our window here

Obama was as white as Biden and got just as much done like any other do nothing Democrat

just as much in the way of progress as Republicans and both parties need to thrown out

issue is the rigged elections

no matter what the checkwriters win in this rigged game that always pays the house

blaming your fellow sick, underpaid, underfunded education systemed citizens for the destruction of the 1% only helps your jailers

parks are getting setup to be stripped mined of resources and the areas polluted by the efforts

was happening under the Democrats watch too just with more finesse but since both parties are paid from the same checkbook we as citizens are just forced to watch the strip mining of our country with no way out

United States has speeding camera technologies but refuses to utilize it along with other modern traffic tools that would lessen how many police we need

the future is held back from us on purpose because it is harder to subjugate a society that has access to tools

incorrect it is on the defense

The burden of proof is on the prosecutor for criminal cases, and the defendant is presumed innocent. If the claimant fails to discharge the burden of proof to prove their case, the claim will be dismissed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burden_of_proof_(law)

even wikipedia has it wrong

in the United States it is on the defense to pay for and to provide evidence because the prosecutor makes up anything they want along with whatever the jackboots in the case states happens with the judge going along with it in complicity and the defendant is presumed guilty throughout the entire process and even if the defendant proves their innocence the claim may not be dismissed

none of which helps when again coupled with poor environmental protections, low education funding, higher police funding, low minimum wage with less worker protections, and no universal healthcare

yes let us blame low paid, not given proper education, no proper healthcare due to bipartisan horseshit citizens for the takeover of the United States

not the polluters, the owners of industry mistreating workers, not the toxic media pumped out by the owning class

did not vote against him but also not allowed legally to vote as are a lot of people

again doing the jailers' job by dividing yourself and your fellow citizens

pollution coupled with poor environmental protections, low education funding, higher police funding, low minimum wage with less worker protections, and no universal healthcare are things that would lead to where we are now

stop doing the fascists' job for them by blaming your fellow comrades thus dividing everybody further and unite against the tyranny
