Had brunch with work colleagues (plenty “international” which means mostly anglosphere tech sphere aligned) and the majority defended his actions. Funnily they were all “allies” and the queers on the table were all against it. Which is kinda how it often is. The arguments were those of a “negative peace”, too.
I understand your sentiment. I do believe that there are plenty of real allies who would have our backs (as some did show in the past already).
But those are mostly already active and their ally-ship is proven and the “title” isn’t something they claim, it is something proved and thereby given.
“Faith without works is dead”, on other words. An ally isn’t something you claim to be, it’s something you accomplish with your actions. That’s not how libs see it but that’s what it is.
I presume they were defending the veto as “negative peace” but not using those words is what was meant. Like they didnt call it that, but they said things that JuneFall would describe that way.
Its pretty much what Newsom’s defense for the decision is.
There was actually a small thread with like 20 upvotes and no comments that I found there, so I assume it was more the libs there willfully ignoring a negative thing about the Blue Team. Wouldnt put it past the /r/poltiics mods to remove a thread if it got traction though and spin up some bullshit about it not being relevant or whatever.
Looked up threads about this on Reddit. Only found three threads on it. Nothing in /r/politics

Being an “ally” means absolutely nothing. I have 100% confidence in their total betrayal the second the wind shifts.

Exactly.
Ally is a meaningless title, its like calling yourself a nice person or whatever and doesn’t mean anything without the actions to back it up
The liberals were saying that the bill promoted a negative peace? What?

A lot of the time they remove a post for a while then reinstate it, which effectively quells its exposure. Reddit exposure is very timing-based
