These are the same people so concerned about men getting falsely accused of sexual assault.

A defender’s literal job is to defend their client no matter what. And yes, pleading guilty does lead to lighter sentences.

Plus this is fucking Amerikkka. The mob is always wrong, if we just kept doing lynch mobs then it would be illegal to NOT be a nazi by now.

Is it? That's not really the vibe I get from this tweet.

[-] Keld@hexbear.net 6 points 6 months ago

It isn't, like not even a little bit. The person can be wrong without also being another kind of wrong.

Yeah I was gonna say, if anything this seems like an overcorrection in the other direction

I agree that we shouldn't do lynch mobs, but it's a lie told by reactionaries that popular sentiment in America is consistently in favor of reactionary attitudes and ideas. On many important issues, popular sentiment is far to the left of anything the political establishment humors.

It's hard to remember this in a red state where even Dem elected in the supposed "blue oasis" vote to hurt immigrants and LGBT folks

The truth remains the truth, and no amount of misanthropy changes that. Furthermore, pointing to who gets elected in the US as evidence of what is most popular is not a good methodology:

popular sentiment is far to the left of anything the political establishment humors.

I am obviously not saying the majority can do no wrong -- I think their attitude towards immigrants is pretty reactionary, and that is significant -- but it's just ridiculous to say in America that a Democrat politician represents what the more left popular views are.

Literally one of the most tailist things I've ever read. (Twitter) Anarchists always forget that the state might wither away but it withers away into the administration of things.

It isn't. That is the public defender here. Like let's not conflate things. The guy under criticism for being a public defender's argument is in part that those accused of domestic violence and abuse are the poor and otherwise disenfranchised (Citing black people getting accused of domestic violence at higher levels amongst other things) and that the capitalist and imperialist state is an illegitimate judge so getting people off in any case is Good.
