Maybe encourage your shit candidates to be less shitty? I dunno, maybe have a bare minimum of expectations? You realize how silly you sound I can hope, but it doesn’t look like it.
Absolutely, immigrants in general do commit far less crime than citizens based on what I’ve read and seen.
Republicans would have us believe gangs are in control of the cities and all kinds of craziness… this is not what I’m suggesting.
But there are examples of gangs and criminals doing things in relatively recent news cycles…
I was saying Dems tend to look the other way, Repubs exaggerate the problem… we all know we need immigration reform, and Trump was speaking to the issue when he campaigned. Dems downplayed it or suggested it didn’t exist at all.
I work every day with immigrants. I’m conversationally fluent in Spanish because of it. I support immigration and reasonable paths to citizenship. But under our current system we have an underclass of people being exploited by the owner class. That’s not acceptable to me.
I understand and agree with your sentiment, but supermajorities of voters in dem repub and independent parties want criminal immigrants deported. That’s why so many independents went with Trump this go round. They don’t like just rounding up everyone for the purpose of achieving some record of deportations just for shits and giggles though.
Establishment dems were downplaying crime and immigration issues while establishment repubs and Trump were exaggerating them. Immigrant criminals and gangs and cartels are a real problem and people on the streets see it, especially immigrants in those same communities.
With immigration reform and doing things like giving daca and similar immigrants who have been here since they were babies a path to citizenship makes sense. And so does having refugee and asylum options, especially in places where US foreign policy has directly caused the hardships that have and are causing folks to flee their own country. That’s basically all of central and Latin American and the carribean and also countries in South America, Palestine, Ukraine. US foreign policy is beyond fucked up.
Our monkey brains are still fixed on tribalism and racism which makes us infight though, allowing the establishment politicians to pit us against each other while the uniparty continues to serve the corporate and donor class… and Israel.
Having a sub class of folks who are not citizens is definitely a problem. We need immigration reform. Having illegal immigrants who are willing to work for less than minimum wage is definitely a problem.
Even Bernie has said as much.
With immigration reform we can set the path for these folks to get citizenship which will raise wages for everyone.
I have zero faith in congress’ ability to do this though.
ICE definitely needs to be abolished. Open borders is probably a bad starting point though… but I like that idea more than having ICE.
Quite frankly, voting on skin color and gender is pretty dumb. Same with religion etc.
Policy is what’s important. And if your policy is getting nothing done (she called 15$ minimum wage her signature issue before she was vice president and didn’t once fight for it), genocide, hugging billionaires, and welcoming war criminals with smiles and open arms (Dick Cheney), then you’re a shit politician who doesn’t get my vote.
You go ahead and keep voting based on race and gender though I guess?
If we lose democracy because I didn’t vote for the spineless genocide lite candidate you wanted me to vote for?
How has your logical approach changed a single damn thing in the past 40-50 years? (Clue: it hasn’t)
You’ll keep blaming voters instead of your shitty candidates I guess though. They already know they have your vote because you’ve acquiesced in lieu of getting a single policy issue you support, while simultaneously berating and attacking voters who won’t step in line. You’re accusing people of not voting for the “perfect” candidate, while actively fighting for those who have dingleberries dangling off their hairy ass cheeks above your head while they struggle to take constipated bowel movements, and thanking them for it, happily waiting for the mythological trickle down to occur… someday.
Kamala herself said there wasn’t one thing at all that she would have done differently during Biden’s president. Not one thing. Not even a superficial trivial thing.
When someone tells you who they are, believe them.
Nah. That’s a big exaggeration. There were not even a total of 200 million votes, let alone that many for one of the candidates.
Trump got about 77.3 million votes. Harris got 75 million….
People are tired of tired ass corporate donor candidates. This is absolutely the fault of the democrat and republican parties. Quit blaming the voters. Look up…. You’re so worried about the other voters instead of looking at who is in power… the problem is the wealthy and political establishment, they lost this election.
I want the Iranian people to be free, they need it ever since the United States overthrew the last government.
One thing I’ve heard that sounds accurate. Israel claims to be the only democracy in the Middle East. And yet, they have been a part of multiple overthrows and installation of literal kings and dictators of other Middle East countries. They are even supporting US taxpayers funding the installation of the son of the previous shah or king as the new leader of Iran.
This meme reads to me like Israeli propaganda but the Iranian people do possibly want something other than a fundamentalist fake religious government.
It’s not black and white. Deep in it’s heart, the current Israeli regime is not Jewish at all.
Yea I do it a lot too, I guess I was asking what you mean maybe. Not sure. I get attacked from the center and the far left I suppose not including the right
I guess I care more about the far left and the center than I do about the right but I don’t see it like a football team maybe
Yea um… I’m gonna need you to include a tps report on that, um…. Yea ☕️
I do not vote for neoliberals or the lesser of two evils, or candidates who receive aipac or other Israel lobby money.
Dems need to change their policies if they want my vote 👍
