Congressional Democratic leaders are asking ICE to agree to reforms, promising to vote for $11 billion in funding for the agency if it does so. ICE has every reason to concede to the demands — then ignore them once the funding bill passes.

    This is a Republican talking point! Stop saying it!

    Yes, Dems are shit. But the alternative is WORSE! So stop saying Dems are bad. We can’t change them. We can only elect more of them and hope they change themselves.

      hope they change themselves.

      The only thing Democrats have changed in the last 40 years is becoming more right wing. Democrats of today would have been to the far right of 1980s Reagan. Those same Democrats have enabled Republicans in their march to the right, so electing more of what got us into this mess is never the answer.

      It’s not a republican talking point, it’s a literally “everyone on earth watching your limp dicked government opposition enable the fascists” point. Instead of telling people how to think you should do something about your shitty government instead of “hopes and prayers”.
