AOC and other Dems begin assembling lists

In America when a party loses an election we do not seek to prosecute the losing side simply for supporting the losing candidate. But yet here we are.
Quote:
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said
US House candidate, NY Is anyone archiving these Trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity in the future? I foresee decent probability of many deleted Tweets, writings, photos in the future
Former Obama administration official Michael Simon responded.
Quote:
"Yes, we are,” Mr Simon wrote. “Every Administration staffer, campaign staffer, bundler, lawyer who represented them – everyone.
And linked to the site https://www.trumpaccountability.net which states;
Quote:
We should not allow the following groups of people to profit from their experience:
Those who elected him. Individuals who worked for the Trump for President campaign, Republican National Committee, and affiliated PACs in 2016 or 2020.
Those who staffed his government. Individuals who worked in any role as a political appointee in the Trump Administration.
Those who funded him. Individuals who used their massive personal wealth and influence to bundle money for Trump.
It is unclear what they mean by profit but the implication of the word accountability is that those on the list will face retribution as backed by those who call for barring from office and future employment up to ostracizing from polite society.
70 million Americans voted for Donald Trump, just slightly less than voted for Biden.
Is it okay for the winning party to go after the losing party for exercising their constitutional right to vote and donate to the candidate of their choice?

Sounds good to me. You don’t think people involved in criminal activity should be forgiven just because they lost an election do you?
I wouldn’t hire a trump supporter. They’re moral degenerates.

Ocasio is a SJW democratic socialist. She’s evil, and this is not a surprise.

Voting and donating to the party of your choosing is not a criminal activity last I checked.
Do you think it should be koods?

So you would be okay with someone not hiring you because you support whatever it is you support?

I’m sure that happens all the time. Why would someone want an employee who demonstrates terrible judgement.

I 100% agree with documenting/archiving messages from any elected official who is pushing dangerous misinformation and/or supporting what in some cases has been essentially calling for an attempted coup, that seems like common sense.
As for the website, I’m not entirely sure the purpose but I really don’t care what a random political aide is saying, and anyone can make a website. It’s dumb to go after people strictly because of politics if there’s no evidence of anything nefarious, I don’t see anything like this going anywhere but obviously well-known trump people will run into people in the world that will treat them poorly because of what they represented. Could be restaurant workers, possible employers, neighbors, etc. Many of them will also make millions off of trump cult members from books/podcasts/events, it’s the game they chose to play.

You cannot prosecute simply for donating to campaigns. If they are legally prosecuted successfully, that means they did something illegal.
To act as if there is not possible illegal activities in a campaign that has had several already indited seems a bit odd. It is not even near a stretch to believe that Trump's campaign likely has several criminals.
You are making this seem like they are prosecuting for legal moves. They will and are not.

Now you know how just about EVERYONE who isnt a white male feels. I've been denied many things because of how I look and who I support.
Fuck all those people I'd never ever hire a trumper. They usually fire themselves too because entitled people make for terrible employees.

No. I’m just going off of what I’m seeing in my personal life, at work, and in popular culture, besides your reply doesn't even make sense. You’re being kind of vague. What are you getting at?

How is it racist ? You lost me there, I was just repeating what koods said but I substituted "whatever it is you support" for trump supporter. I said nothing about appearance, but way to engage in whataboutism. Sure hiring decisions get made on appearance all the time, I am not defending that racist practice nor denying it. In fact irl I actively am working against that by demanding HR removes names and places from resumes to prevent unconscious bias from coming into play during hiring decisions made by our company.
What I asked is do you think it is okay to base hiring decisions on past political donations or participation?
Koods says yes as do you. I see that as undemocratic but I don't see that as racist nor did I draw a false equivalence by using the term whatever it is you support.

I think for me it's kinda like...I wouldn't ever NOT hire someone out of spite for their political views, but a lot of the values upheld by trump supporters I would not consider meshing well with myself. It's not the fact that they supported trump, it's the type of person that does that. I would also not mesh well with a lot of people on the left. I like guns, I think there is a massive amount of virtue signaling on the left, and the one thing I can't stand is a hypocrite. That being said, I don't tolerate racism, sexism, or homophobia around me at all, which is alive and well on the right.
So basically fuck all y'all for different reasons.

I say yes too because of the nature of trumpism. Which is rooted in bigotry and hate. If I were Jewish I'd demand to know who supported nazis if I were a women I'd demand to know where the sex offenders live. If I were black I'd demand to know who supports the kkk. Unfortunately for trump supporters this goes way beyond a difference in politics.
A person that supports a group that actively tries to restrict the rights of women, gays, ?, whoever is just as guilty as the ones making the laws. The support is what makes it possible. Those laws are about control. Fuck that control and I demand to know who supports that control so I know who's dangerous to my safety.
A registry of offending assholes would be useful.

You made a vague, non-logical statement then called sugar bear a racist.
I don’t think you know what you’re talking about, and are pretending you do.
A database of trump supporters is straight tyranny.
Only an entitled mindset would think he doesn’t have to explain himself.
Popular culture is also where the news comes from.
