"What can Democrats actually do?"

- Vote against funding for ICE and DHS

- State that any ICE officers who commit crimes under Trump will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law

- Encourage cities and states to refuse to cooperate with ICE

- Explain ICE is part of Trump's tyranny

To clarify: I’m not speaking to how prevalent the those dudes were or whether or not the criticism was justified. Just in a nutshell that’s where it came from.

The TLDR goes back to 2016 where the Dem primary came down to Hillary v Bernie. Bernie bro was a derogatory term for dudes who were hardcore β€œBernie or Bust” and said they would not vote for Hillary in the general.

This statement is correct. Unfortunately you seem to confuse yourself with civilians and think all you need to do is refrain from silence. You’re the opposition leader, act like it.

He’s just mad he’s not attorney general. Trump has always been but the same person, he’s no different than the man Christie tried to help beat Biden.

She won’t reply, addressing factual counterpoints would be good faith journalism!

It’s both. There’s absolutely quid pro quo but don’t make the mistake of thinking that a significant portion of them are not motivated by genuine ideological convictions.

just anecdotally, the idea that Iranians yearn for the West to topple the regime may have had some truth to it before the Iraq war. now everyone understands that it just means death, misery, and destruction.

If any criticism of Dem leadership is tantamount to attributing R’s sins to them then we are fucked regardless.

As a party, we are prisoners being held hostage by people who simply refuse to accept that their time has passed and won’t accept that others more capable right now. Stay in the Senate, but step down from leadership. It’s time for a new approach, a new face, & a new voice.

Thank you! She literally went out of her way to avoid talking about β€œwoke” topics but people can’t see past the front page or the NYT.

Boiling young male Trump voters down simply to crypto policy without acknowledging the impact of Tate/Rogan masculinity is incredibly myopic

Exactly. There were a million stories like this 2020-2024 but they all still voted the same way.

Squid Games themed Domino’s commercial is one of the most insanely tone deaf but darkly hilarious things I’ve ever seen
