Wild how often it’s the case of dems in power being terrible.
I see some love for AOC (but also insta-damnation if dog forbid she hews incorrectly), Mamdani got a lot of love (for a city mayor) at least until he made the fatal error of crossing a SocDem, and Bernie gets love. But that’s it. 99.8% of Democrats are the worst, most evil fascists under the sun according to their support base. If you believe that.
Is it any wonder they look to the center for support when it gets close to election time?
Also so does that mean we can’t say trump/putin/bibi is terrible without specifying an alternative?
For the first 100 slams, no those are free. After that you have to have something else besides a big bag of bitching. But only for trump, unless you’re voting in the israeli or russian election.
Which, sometimes I wonder if some of the commenters are.
Yeah cause they don’t want to actually provide anything the people want.
What like national healthcare? A Green New Deal? Yeah The People din’t want that shit they want to murder children, right?
And unsurprisingly again avoiding the point to continue to just punch left
What point? Democratic candidates are depraved existential horrors roaming the land devouring women and children alive for sport? Sure lemme google some things i’ll get back to you.
The so-called left can’t even be relied upon to vote against literal paramilitary gangs roaming the streets murdering mothers and nurses. That’s who you want them to spend all their political capital chasing? Well, good luck. But just so you know they’re not going to vote anyway. Purity tests are real and they are unwinnable.

Wow, amazing how you’re only point is blaming the voters.
left can’t even be relied upon to vote against literal paramilitary gangs roaming the streets murdering mothers and nurses
Again, both parties were okay with that. There wasn’t one who would stop it
Well, one party ran on the first part multiple times making a big push for it that took up a full year in two administrations, and actually made the second one law, so. Get a clue?
Wow, amazing how you’re only point is blaming the voters.
I’m blaming the non-voters. Keep up.
Again, both parties were okay with that. There wasn’t one who would stop it
The DHS is still shut down. Do you actually know how anything works? Because it’d be great if you could do that.

Is that supposed to show one side is fighting against it? Dems doing nothing to plan or prevent gop from implementing their will on the country, just like failure to codify roe v wade into law.

You’re blaming everyone that isn’t worshipping the dnc, including voters.

Which has stopped what? Even now the dems aren’t fighting to remove or stop ice just increase training and more cameras.

Wrong again, but it was a bonus question so you won’t lose any points.

Has stopped everything that isn’t specifically declared critical to national security or budgeted separately in the Big Ugly Boondoggle bill.
Yeah it’d be great if they could just blink and nod and poof ICE is gone, trillions go to healthcare, education, and the environment, but I guess they must not want to blink and nod. That’s most likely it and no other reasons.
Dems continue to drop the ball in all aspects of governing again and again. Gop spent what 40-50 years to get roe v wade over-tuned. Dems just let gop break norms and laws to pack the courts.
They do not future plan for anyone but their donors.
And again you’re ignoring the part they don’t even want to do anything about ice except training and body cameras, as the ones doing the most damage to citizens and civilians are the veterans of the force and already being filmed.
It’s the perfect encapsulation of how little this democrat party and leadership will do for the people AND how they just work on optics rather than you know actually doing anything.
Then again nothing will change your perception of the party so you’re response will still ignore everything and simply focus on how this all means we need to get behind candidates now

There are a lot of failures I wish they hadn’t failed at, yes. Tom Daschle in particular, but that’s a different thread.

Disagree. Their donors have no idea how they’ll fuck up the next thing either.
And again you’re ignoring the part they don’t even want to do anything about ice except training and body cameras
This is not about ICE but since we should all benefit from my ability to search,
The full list of Democrats’ demands is as follows:
1. Targeted enforcement
DHS officers cannot enter private property without a judicial warrant. End indiscriminate arrests and improve warrant procedures and standards. Require verification that a person is not a US citizen before holding them in immigration detention.
2. No masks
Prohibit ICE and immigration enforcement agents from wearing masks and other face coverings.
3. Require ID
Require DHS officers conducting immigration enforcement to display their agency, unique ID number and last name. Require them to verbalize their ID number and last name if asked.
4. Protect sensitive locations
Prohibit funds from being used to conduct enforcement near sensitive locations, including medical facilities, schools, childcare facilities, churches, polling places, courts, etc.
5. Stop racial profiling
Prohibit DHS officers from conducting stops, questioning and searches based on an individual’s presence at certain locations, their job, their spoken language and accent, or their race or ethnicity.
6. Uphold use-of-force standards
Place into law a reasonable use-of-force policy, expand training and require certification of officers. In the case of an incident, the officer must be removed from the field until an investigation is concluded.
7. Ensure state and local coordination and oversight
Preserve the ability of state and local jurisdictions to investigate and prosecute potential crimes and use-of-excessive-force incidents. Require that evidence is preserved and shared with jurisdictions. Require the consent of states and localities to conduct large-scale operations outside of targeted immigration enforcement.
8. Build safeguards into the system
Make clear that all buildings where people are detained must abide by the same basic detention standards that require immediate access to a person’s attorney to prevent citizen arrests or detention. Allow states to sue the DHS for violations of all requirements. Prohibit limitations on member visits to ICE facilities regardless of how those facilities are funded.
9. Body cameras for accountability, not tracking
Require use of body-worn cameras when interacting with the public and mandate requirements for the storage and access of footage. Prohibit tracking, creating or maintaining databases of individuals participating in first amendment activities.
10. No paramilitary police
Regulate and standardize the type of uniforms and equipment DHS officers employ during enforcement operations to bring them in line with civil enforcement.
Now i’m no mathimagician but i’m pretty sure 10 is more than two so we’ll point out that (a) you’re wrong again, and (b) if we had gotten 2% more support in 2024 there would be none of this fucked up ICE-as-secret-police bullshit.
I appreciate the Democrats have problems, and let’s fucking fix them because doing nothing (that’s all other parties except the republicans plus your various -isms that don’t vote due to reasons) will not stop the republicans from creating our imminent destruction.
Of course we said that in 2024 and instead of any support just got this mix of hate for colonialism (? okay) and non-stop shrieking about genocide so here we are with fascism on full display and really no end in sight because The Perfect Candidate doesn’t exist and the so-called-left won’t even agree as to what day it is.
Midterms in eight months. Howabout we don’t fuck it up again?

This always means “I have no standards and I expect you to abandon yours.”
