@DRKtoss @hutchinson Democrats don't *want* to do these things. The party was opposed to Mamdani right up until he was elected. Their entire purpose is to fight progressives and stand for the shitty status quo.
They need to change and energize voters immediately or we won't have a country anymore.
@rebanless@A_dmg04@JDVance The deportations are a form of exploitation. You're falling for rhetoric that blames our economic woes on poor migrants instead of billionaires.
@rebanless@A_dmg04@JDVance In other words, go after the actual bad actors instead of hunting victims like animals. But this country is allergic to increasing labor rights, and its declining economy and racially motivated nationalism need a scapegoat. Just don't pretend that deporting people is helping them
@rebanless@A_dmg04@JDVance Right, I can't think of another option, like cracking down on employers who are exploiting them or reforming the system so people can more easily become legally documented immigrants and citizens who are empowered and protected by labor laws instead of hiding from authorities.
@rebanless@A_dmg04@JDVance Injecting nonsensical views into other people's mouths is not a valid rhetorical style.
I want them to be paid a fairly AND have a path to citizenship. Tearing them away from their homes and families and shipping them off to another country is not helping them. It's heartless.
@uncle_willl @smith_john25194 @DigitalGal_X These people really have a nightmare playing in their heads of undocumented immigrants going to a healthcare office and magically gaining access to free healthcare using their... lack of documentation
@bowlympicshero@PaulTassi Imagine someone obsessed with the illegality of immigrants turning a blind eye to the blatant public theft by a government agency of IP that has generated over $10 billion in revenue.
@bowlympicshero@PaulTassi This is a recruitment poster shared by an official government website that steals a major company's intellectual property and uses it for advertisement and propaganda.
@Springtick380 @PaulTassi It absolutely does not fall under the protection of fair use, which exists to make exceptions for transformative remixing (no, this does not qualify), criticism, etc. This is a clear case of IP being stolen and used to advertise and recruit by an unrelated entity.
@thunderbay63@grahamformaine Let's not pretend it doesn't matter that the DNC will throw millions and millions of advertising dollars behind their candidate of choice because they are once again threatened by a younger progressive who doesn't just toe the party line.
@BeachQueen911@JanetMillsforME How are undocumented immigrants gaining access to socialized healthcare in the U.S.? Physically how would that be possible?
@NotOhBoi@suwubaru@blueberriesGG Try to think really hard. Did anything happen in the game this weekend? Anything that people might be responding positively to? Was there some kind of event this weekend? Maybe one that lasts for 48 hours?
@Pro_Bacon_Eater @ar_rekt @TobiQadri@realDonaldTrump You're conflating completely different things. This is the point that I am responding to: "When they ban guns criminals can still get them."
If that is your position then we might as well have no laws because you don't believe they deter or restrict criminals from breaking them.
