MAGA are the high-flying Globetrotters posterizing everyone on the court. The Democratic professional class — politicians, pundits, think tankers, and operatives — are the Washington Generals, paid a lot of money to be pantsed.

    Democrats already failed you. They’re trying to pad PR now after they’ve just voted to fund ICE when they could’ve had every ample opportunity to say NO. Most didn’t, a large number did.

      Both parties need to GTFO. We need a new constitution voting mechanism, as well as a truly progressive tax code without loopholes and carve outs, and a top rate of 100%, to fund infrastructure, including food, housing, comprehensive health, and education, in addition to green energy, cleaning up the environment.

      Do they? Hey can you settle a bet with me and @FauxLiving about how many Democrats support ICE?

      Would you say it’s all of them, or like, half of them or what?

        i dunno the amt but those in office who are not actively calling out ice and passing or attempting to pass laws to control them are doing so because they support them.

        dem / rep / liberal / conservative - it’s all right wing politics.

          1. It’s 7. One of whom has apparently issued a mea culpa for all the nothing that’s worth.

          Still, can’t pass up the chance to shit on the Dems as a party.

              Sure but around here the republicans can’t get arrested. 100% of Rs support fascism, 2% of Dems do and what’s everyone frothing about?

              Yeah. It gets old especially after fucking up the chance we had to avoid all this.

    The Democratic Party and high-level Dems support ICE, the killings, the concentration camps, and the general aura of fascism. They’re an accommodation party, not an opposition party.

    They didn’t even vote to stop funding for ICE. You’re putting your hope in the wrong group of people.

    If I had the money to put it together, I’d get some pamphlets printed up, and some bumper stickers or such with statements like “I SUPPORT ICE’S RIGHT TO MURDER”.

    The pamphlets basically say “Since you support ICE, we thought you’d enjoy these!”, then inside, some very graphic information about what ICE has been up to, and some messaging to the tone of “Do you support ICE? Because the House representatives you elected to represent your opinions in congress just voted in favor of a huge budget bill. Don’t like being associated with that? Call them and let them know. By the way, the midterm elections are coming right up.”

    Send those out to everyone in every district whose ‘democratic’ representatives voted for the budget bill.

      Hahaha you think we going get to vote this away? Dude Democracy is over. We need to be deciding when rise up. At the minimum a general strike that doesn’t end until this over, or start getting armed and ready for war. That or continue to do jack shit.

        Yeah I mean, I agree with you, but do you know how to organize that? Do you know anyone who’s in the process of organizing that? I sure don’t. It’s easy to post shit on the internet; let me know when you’ve got an action plan.
