    In the US, the constitution bans double jeopardy. In other words, if you are aquitted, thats it. You’re legally not a criminal of whatever it is you were accused of.

    Jury nullification is the act of saying 1 thing but thinking the other, I phrase it that way because you can nullify either by handing out a guilty or not guilty verdict.

    So in the event the jury finds someone not guilty, say of murdering a CEO for example, that person walks free.

    I once told my boss that when I advertised as being a java dev when he was wondering why I was having a hard time with JS. He still didn’t get it and thought one was a subset of the other. I had to explain to him that you don’t drive your carpet to work, they are infact different and only share some letters in common.

    JFC. What is with you people? I don’t understand what you want from me. I voted blue straight down ballot in a swing state and I yelled at my lefty friends to do the same.

    All I am saying and have been saying is I understand why people whose friends and family are being exterminated might not want to vote for team actively arming the people commiting a genocide.

    Hell, theres another post right now on lefty memes about how the harris team knew saying they’d stop arming isreal would give them a jump in the polls.

    I’m not disagreeing with you. All I’m saying is that I understand why say a Palistinian American might be adverse to voting for the side actively faning the flames to a genocide including their own family members. I can imagine waking up and being told you should vote for the side that supplied the bombs that exploded half your family and going “why? So the other half can also get bombed? My whole family is going to die either way” and that being their rational for not voting.

    I’m not supporting that idea nor voter apathy. But i can certainly understand why Kamala lost Michigan, Dearborn has the largest muslim population in the country. I can understand why so many people there might be apathetic or uninterested in voting for a party that has put forth no pushback or even plans to stop an ongoing genocide against people of their faith.

    Again, Trump will absolutely be far worse by just greenlighting isreal.

    Yeah there are only so many times Biden can go “hey isreal, you’d better stop that genocide or else!” While doing nothing whatsoever and even giving them the weapons to continue the genocide before people go “well they aren’t going to do a damn thing about this”
