    So… you’re saying the DNC has not been actively ignoring progressives in favor of republicans since after Obama got elected? The “nothing will fundamentally change” party? The tough on immigration party isn’t actively courting republicans? Then who are they courting with that shit? The actively racist democrats in Texas and Florida? Why pretend suddenly immigration is a problem when it’s not? The country was built on immigration. We don’t need to deport more and split up more families. We need more immigration courts and better processes to help transition those families into legal immigration. Not give them court dates 5 months out and 300 miles away. Make batch hiring shit they do at meat packing plants illegal so we stop ending up with dead 16 year old kids they swear they thought were 32 year olds. Hell, crack down on wage theft and increase national minimum wage to a liveable wage (national+urban cost of living instead of single catch all) while we are at it instead of complaining about immigrants taking our jobs when we have to have two to live. Be plenty of jobs when everyone only needs one. And make Medicare for all so businesses don’t have to compete over expensive medical benefits.

    But nah, be tough on crime and immigration instead cuz that’s what republicans want.

    Also fuck man can be please stop giving almost as much as we spend on the entire countries education to supporting active genocide?

      I love this new trend of taking all the evil shit Republicans do and just claiming that Democrats do it. Much simpler and more straightforward propaganda.

        Thinking democrats couldn’t possibly do it cuz republicans are is wild.

        If you seriously need an article on us supporting Israel’s genocide on Gaza I can as well.

        Yea, republicans may be worse on these but the literal point of many voting third party is it’s absolutely fucked to just blindly accept the party of “slightly less excited for genocide but still definitely excited for genocide.” One party being worse should not be a pass.

          Republicans do this horrible thing all the time and in really bad ways.

          A Democrat once suggested thinking about possibly doing a part of it, might have been a joke I dunno.

          Clearly, both sides are the same.

              Yea, republicans may be worse on these but

              That “but” is irrelevant if you understand at all how the American electoral system works. You choose the lesser or the greater of two evils. Always. You want to change the party itself, vote in the primaries.

                yes, yes, sell your soul to Genocide and maybe you can buy it back if you vote hard enough! Or at least they’ll only increase the state sponsored genocide by a little bit more each year! That is… uhhh. good? Yes thats what I want to call that. Good!

                Wild you can say a but about still murdering tons of small children is irrelevant.

                    If all the children are dead either way then you haven’t actually murdered less children.
