I mean yeah this is the arguement. Democrats don't oppose deportation they just want it done according to the law. No deportation without hearing/due proccess, access to medical care for detaines, no alligator auschwitz, no deportation to random countries, no sending detainees to El Salvadorian prison, no stealing citizens passports, and the list keeps going.

When immigration enforcement is done via legal channels it is at least controlled and there is due proccess. I don't like that we handle immigration this way at all, but it doesn't take a genius to see things were way better before.

And yes the way things were before was bad too, and inherently inhumane, but this has been way worse

Democrats have been entirely complicit in the Republican-lead fascism in this country.

While most of their constituents (who they claim to represent) want to ABOLISH ICE, Democrats are arguing for soft reforms and increased ICE funding. While most of their constituents are appalled by the genocide happening in Gaza, Democrats just voted to continue sending billions of our tax dollars to Israel. The "law and order" policy that both sides pushed in order to appear tough on crime is exactly why men with guns are running into our homes and shooting us in the street.

Democrats may appear like champions of a sensible middle ground, but that is exactly what got us here. Do not fall for their calls for a more polite police state.

Then get off your lazy ass and make a 3rd party viable.

I've been active and I encourage anyone reading this to join a leftist organization. Look for a DSA, CPUSA, PSL, or FRSO chapter near you.

Neat.

Still not viable.

So when 26 and 28 roll around and a 3rd party still isn't viable, what do you plan on doing at the ballot box?

Who said anything about a third party? This system is not capable of meaningful reform.

But looking at your account history and your clown pic, I'm going to assume you're operating in bad faith. You sure as shit 'aint doing anything to help the situation.
