I really can't believe we have literal Nazi terrorist murder happening on American soil.

This is insane! Is this because Trump fumbled healthcare? Would they be less mad if we had ripped away healthcare from millions?

I realize I'm trying to assign some sort of coherent mentality to pure hatred, and there is none. Jesus.

It's because Trump gave them the confidence to come into the open. Trump has always represented a right wing populist response to the world - and right wing populism inevitably draws fascism.

These are basically the dudes from Fight Club and Trump is their Tyler Durden. This is why "was it economics or race" was always an asinine question, the two are inseparable in American politics.

The real question is what the left is going to do about it. The last time it went this direction we got pounded into the dirt, soooooo

The left is going to advocate for effective solutions and social programs that raise up society and promote integration and a shared prosperity.

The liberals are going to stonewall the threat of higher taxes and integration via exploiting every systemic advantage capital provides.

People were certainly concerned with immigration as an economic issue a few pages ago when they argued we should drastically restrict immigration to boost low-skilled wages. Bernie was certainly concerned with the economic consequences of immigration in his campaign. Kamala Harris saying "immigration is good for our economy" makes her more appealing as a presidential candidate, not less.

her saying that deportation is bad cause it means unpicked crops is really gross. makes it pretty evident that she doesn't care about the immigrants, just that they can be exploited for below minimum wage labor. kinda like the prisoners she tried to prevent from being released

Yeah the whole "oh no who will pick our crops" talking point can honestly gently caress off.

Edit: like, it wouldn't be a tragedy if a ton of restaurants closed upon our outlawing of tipping and below-minimum wage pay policies, it would be good, even if it means fewer people employed (for terrible wages and hours) and fewer people are able to eat out four times a week. The victims are not the people running the lovely businesses or the consumers that benefit from that business being lovely.

Yes it's better that we deport undocumented immigrants than force them to comply with child abuse law.

Her saying "immigration helps our economy" is an anodyne defense of core democratic values, gently caress your regressive anti-immigrant nonsense.

Like it's not "who will pick the crops!?!" It's "California farmers are being harmed and production is being impacted by Trump's anti-immigrant policies". Don't white knight trump's immigration policies you idiots.

oh, the economy is much more important to you. you'd probably be happy if trump let immigrants stay and pick crops as prison labor. that'd help the economy a ton!! and that is an anodyne defense of core democratic values right?

The empirical evidence that exists is pretty clear: illegal immigrants aren't having very much of an effect on the overall job market or wages at all.

You have to be careful about this sort of evidence, because liberals often use broad statistics that don't actually disprove the claims they say they disprove. In this case you have statistics showing there isn't a net impact on jobs/wages, but that doesn't mean that certain jobs in certain regions might not be negatively affected.

Basically, liberals are good at coming up with statistics that seem at a glance to prove their point, but on closer examination actually don't. Another example is the stuff about Trump voters being on average more well off than the average American. Technically true (since Republican voters are always more well off on average), but does nothing to address the main gist of arguments that Trump has increased appeal among working class voters compared with past Republicans or that his supporters represent more lower income Republicans than average. It also ignores potential regional variation, since obviously heavy higher income Trump support in solid blue or red states (for example) isn't really as relevant electorally as Trump voter demographics in swing states.

Anyways, it's a big problem that plausible sounding statistics can be produced to support almost any conclusion, and liberals are hardly immune to this. Careful attention must be paid to whether the statistics given actually disprove the main thrust of a particular argument.

Put her against Trump and he wins 40+ states and 400+ EV, and that's on the conservative side.
