The American Prospect reported that several Democrats in closely contested districts would be voting for the ICE appropriation. “They’re terrified of being labeled anti–law enforcement,” an unnamed source told the liberal magazine. “They want this to go away so they can talk about the cost of living more. Problem is, it’s not going away.”

I love having arguments with pro-democrat Lemmy users for days before this, they're coming out of the woodwork to say shit like "Dems would never have allowed any of this!" "They're not perfect but they're at least not in favor of Trump's agenda!" and so on. (Odd that they always seem to appear in force in election years.)

I want to reiterate this all again:

the DNC has the same fucking donors as the GOP. THEY ARE THE SAME TEAM.

The pushback, the rhetoric, the speeches and stern-letters... it's all Kayfabe, they want you to think there are two sides. It's SO easy to act and pull this off and half ya'll are children who can't think outside of a two-sided narrative. You would have been addicted to WWE and argued it's real back in the day.

Flush the contents of the DNC and elect new representatives broadly, every incumbent must go.
