Establishment Democrats are rejecting an increasingly popular position by refusing to take a bold stance that happens to be good politics.

    I heard Elissa Slotkin in an interview the other day, and she would not commit to trying to pursue reduced funding for ICE, much less abolishing it…

    Man you Americans like to shit on the opposition more than you do on the actual Nazis. No wonder you guys are fucked, if I was a leftists politician I would not want to stand up for you guys just to be called every name in the book and shit. I’d let you guys drown too

      Are you insinuating that you would allow the Nazis to take over if their opponents called you some mean names? Just want to get that cleared up.

          A collapsing United States could still kill everyone else out of spite. For example, if a civil war begins, various states could seize the nuclear silos and power plants, and then dirty bomb their enemies. The Americans would all be dead, but the rest of the world would have to deal with the radioactive crap and extremists leaking out of the States.

          The US 100% is getting what it deserves. But holy crap, I though other regimes fell in grace. We’re tripping over our own dicks and diving headfirst into our own feces.

    Establishment dems are 100% the kind of people who make excuses for abusive spouses hurting their kids. We need to get rid of everyone who’s to the right of Sanders in the dem party. That dude is pretty much the only centrist in their ‘leadership’

      “We need to reach across the aisle and let him strangle his wife some more. She’s not dead, so she can clearly take a little extra. And the guy loves it. So let’s all calm down and let him squeeze her neck.”

        Shooting innocent women in the face and kidnapping thousands of people to send to torture camps in 3rd world countries isn’t the appropriate time?
