I voted Bernie in the primary and wrote in Monica Moorehead for the general because she was the first name I saw on the write in list hanging above the voting booth. I have only told one other person about this and will take it to my grave otherwise

why would it matter that the Abolish ICE bill fails in THIS congress, if the earliest possible date in which it could pass would be the NEXT congress, presumably after more democrats (lol) are in the House and Senate?

Hell, campaign harder on how you need more votes to have it pass next term. The real problem is that most dems aren't on board and don't want to have to either vote for it or be on record as not voting for it because god forbid they take a stand on something.

You are once again mistaking the outcome of a focused pr campaign as a natural law and saying to do nothing about it.

abolishing ice was an insane fringe policy with like 2% support at the beginning of this year it's now a mainstream policy with legislation ready to go on it once again, as I pointed out yesterday by the way, the centrist argument boils down to inaction

docbeard posted:Oh no, they might think we mean what we actually mean? HEAVEN FORBID That's not what most people mean though. It's the boogyman that the GOP is throwing up and the handful of people in this thread who want to abolish borders are probably an appreciable percentage of the overall population that supports that idea.
