Democrats are just as racist as the Republicans, they are just better at hiding it, just look at their bipartisan support for the border wall, ICE, and more.

Dems are the "good cop" to the republican "bad cop". They both want to fuck you over in the exact same way. One just pretends to be nice to you.

No but you don't understand, suddenly now that the media is telling me how bad ICE is, I care about this. When a blue president is in office the media doesn't talk about it, so I just assume everything is okay again.

Not talking about things = progress!

Yeah, I never understood why these establishment corporate Democrats respond to Republican criticism by acting more like Republicans. Those psychos have big mouths, but that doesn't mean that what comes out is worthy of attention.

Democrats need to learn to say Shut The Fuck Up and Get The Fuck Out, when MAGAs start whining, NOT listen to them.

They act more like republicans in response to any sensory input.

They have the same donors as the Republicans.

It’s because it’s not about that it’s about terrorizing the population to support Shitler and turd Reich

Comrade Clinton keeps leaking messages intended for the party's sponsors out where horrified voters can hear

Horrified? Most voters, dem or rep, have the exact same mentality around immigration. One is just slightly less ashamed of expressing that mentality than the other.

Look at this neo-liberals. This is why those on the left hate you just as much as the conservatives and MAGAt. When it gets down to brass tacks, your leaders are barely better than they are. We're tired of arguing with you as much as them as well.

They're still courting the mythical "Republican centrist" that just needs a little push to vote Democrat. They've learned nothing.

[–] limer@lemmy.ml 15 points 14 hours ago

They are not courting as much as speaking what they think

Most of the laws that are allowing trump to pull this immigration shit were passed by Democratic administrations. Bidens big strategy was to mock Trump for not deporting as many people as he did.

But yeah, is the leftists fault that brown people aren't voting for Democrats.

Democrats lose: "It was the left's fault for not voting for us! We need to be more conservative in our policies!"
Democrats win: "We did this without the left, we have no need to pass legislation that appeals to them."
