The problem with people with like you is you listen to what the Dems say they’re doing, and don’t bother to confirm what Dems are actually doing. It’s why you’re all terrified of Trump’s immigration policies, and have no clue that Obama & Biden deported way more people.
You’re in a cult.
Does the way in which they are deported matter?
Is it better when they target people who are undocumented and provably so vs just checking out everyone tanner than a Mainer in the winter?
Do you see a difference between the specific policies of the two administrations?
Youre going to keep doing this lesser evil bit until the dems have you seig heiling while the republicans drain your blood for the ritual to begin Armageddon.
Hold up. You believe the Dems & GOP are swapping out frontline ICE and CBP agents during power transitions?
No, I think the administrators on top are switched and they give different marching orders. They enforce policy differently based on who is in the Oval office and that administration’s decisions. That is why there is a difference in how these deportations were carried out.
Do you think the top agents determine policy for an agency?
This is why no one takes Dem voters seriously. Y’all believe the press releases matter more than the material actions.
Battered spouse syndrome
I don’t know. I still see a lot of subtle racism and overt love of the surveillance state coming out Dem voters. Maybe some have simply been fooled, but I’ve come to believe a lot of them are simply closet racists and pro-imperialism. Which is why they always side with republicans over leftists, when forced to choose.
They're cowards who have never been in a scuff or even so much as a play-fight in their whole lives. They prefer the protection of isolating themselves in a brick chimney as opposed to protection through rationale, reason, and community.
That's entirely plausible, and seems so, for a good many.
My whole point is the material actions of the two administrations do differ. Trump is targeting anyone not white whereas Biden at least targeted people with legal violations. One policy puts all immigrants in fear while the other theoretically should not.
The fact that you can’t see the difference isn’t something I can help you with.
So your position is that the thousands of children Biden deported were criminals?
Fucking Dems. I know it clashes with your self-image, but it’s past time y’all accept you’re closet conservatives.
The people ICE are targeting now and will continue to target are simply not-white whereas before they had at least come into the system somehow. Do I need to further explain the difference to you between those actions?
Let’s stop here. You are being insulting and I don’t feel like wasting my time being polite to someone who refuses to do the same.
Haha. I understand the difference. You’re trying to split hairs, and I am following your argument perfectly. It’s just irrelevant.
It’s nothing new for Democrats to hide their racism & fascism behind shields of accountability, with excuses of adherence to procedure or selective application or other claims to minimize. They govern as republicans, put out a press release to explain it away, and Blue MAGA swallows it whole.
I don’t really care to be nice when discussing the racist actions of Dems, and arguing with their apologists. I understand you don’t see your support of Dems as materially contributing to these racist policies, and it doesn’t fit your self-image. I also don’t care. Time to wake up.
the only voters that aren’t taken seriously in the USA are leftists and if you doubt that for a second please point out the progressive party that controls anything in this shithole.
Leftists are taken seriously enough that the Dems spent millions trying to sue them off of as many state ballots as possible, the FBI/CIA/DHS spent a great deal of resources surveilling them, and US authorities regularly assassinate and even bomb cities to kill socialists.
And overthrow legitimately elected leftists outside USA borders.
And claim that leftists singlehandedly decided the election.
And claim that leftists aren't needing to be listened to during campaigns, then blame us if one didn't vote for them in a safe red/blue state.
"B-but the Free Markets" their head twists erratically and sparks fly, a spring pops out of their neck. "Capitalism... Vote with your wallet... Extremism in any form is wrong..." they say, buzzing with malfunctioning word salad and CNN talking points like a radio skipping through stations.
