Establishment Democrats are rejecting an increasingly popular position by refusing to take a bold stance that happens to be good politics.
Remember: abolishing ICE is the compromise position. Never start negotiating with your end goal.
“We’ll figure out the accountability mechanisms at the appropriate time,” Jeffries told reporters.
You’re fired.
Shooting innocent women in the face and kidnapping thousands of people to send to torture camps in 3rd world countries isn’t the appropriate time?
thousands of innocent people being kidnapped & tortured
The appropriate time is very obviously when they need to bug you for donations and/or votes.
The appropriate time…aka we’re not gonna so shit. Yesterday was the appropriate time you ghoulish fuck.
Establishment dems are 100% the kind of people who make excuses for abusive spouses hurting their kids. We need to get rid of everyone who’s to the right of Sanders in the dem party. That dude is pretty much the only centrist in their ‘leadership’
“We need to reach across the aisle and let him strangle his wife some more. She’s not dead, so she can clearly take a little extra. And the guy loves it. So let’s all calm down and let him squeeze her neck.”
Schumer: Dems are overwhelming becoming a popular resistance because of ice and republican fuck ups.
Jeffries: Not good. We must fuck this up.
AOC and Bernie: 🙄
Mamdani: 😫
Fetterman: 🥹
AOC Pelosi voted to continue funding Israel.
I heard Elissa Slotkin in an interview the other day, and she would not commit to trying to pursue reduced funding for ICE, much less abolishing it…
Can’t drop a ball you don’t pick up.
These relics think the entire reason they lost was because of the bullshit immigrant propaganda pushed by the MAGAt right. So they think their path to success will be showing those MAGAts that they too are hard on immigrants, not even noticing the baby being washed out with the bathwater.
Trying to be more rightwing to get more voters never worked: the right demonized the Democrats, so they will never vote for them, while going even more to the right alienates the left.
But they will try anyway because going left would alienate their sponsors and doing nothing results in loss.
“Nothing will fundamentally change and the economy is fine.”

“Wow you guys are so sexist.”
Try never picking it up in the first place.
It is time for DHS interests to bribe the Democrats some more. Don’t worry, they got this.
probably the fact that bill kristol is calling to abolish ice but dem leaders can’t
By not doing it.
Well, when you phrase it like that…
Yes
Yes.
If the Democrats had any interest in dialing back the police/surveillance state they would have done it during the Obama administration when they had a majority in all 3 seats of government. People are so goddamn naive.
