Cracking down on the George Floyd protests was actually a bad thing, liberals. You don’t have to contradict everything that Republicans say you did badly on and double down like, “we didn’t let the city burn, we cracked skulls!” Allow yourselves to have actual principles.
IMO it’s more nuanced than that. Has he actually claimed anything about cracking skulls? I don’t think it’s bad to respond to someone yelling “he did nothing!” with “actually I did”. What do you think he did wrong vs what principles?

Walz sent in the National Guard and Dems in general have been cheerleading cops, even having one speak at the DNC (but no Palestinians). There is actually less nuance, it’s just full-blown support for state violence against protesters against racial oppression and genocide.

I do because the thing that was done was bad and should not be supported. Here’s another parallel: remember how Dems were shedding crocodile tears for kids in cages under Trump? Imagine if they criticized Biden for not doing "enough " at the border and I stead Dems said, “actually we kept the detention centers and ramped up illegal deportations for asylum seekers and tried to push through a harsh border bill but the GOP voted against it!” Oh wait they also did that. Would, “actually I did put kids in cages” seem like a good gotcha?

Who? Walz? He called in the national guard to shut down BLM protests, is part of the Pro-cop Dem reactionary movement, and is now complicit in the genocide of Gaza. I don’t expect him to have principals, he is a cynical political animal like his peers.
I expect the people that had Black Lives Matter signs in their windows and a shred of sympathy for Palestinian kids to recognize the inconsistency when it is pointed out and, maybe some day, develop a coherent political understanding.

Do you live in the Twin Cities? I remember the National Guard coming in well. What exactly did they do that you find objectionable? I’m not claiming that everything was peachy, but calling what happened “state violence against protesters against racial oppression and genocide” is easy to do on the internet where words don’t matter.
You’ve got a lot of tangents in your comment that aren’t really related to Walz, but comparing what happened with the MN National Guard to what’s happening in Palestine is absurd. I’d expect someone from hexbear to realize how fucked up it is to trivialize that genocide.
Walz voted to send more bombs to drop on children in Gaza that’s enough for me.
Couldn’t comment on the other post on MW instance cuz some butthurt mod got big mad and banned me from half the communities cuz I shit on their favorite liberals
