That is very close to how I responded to her. If she really believed that it wouldn't happen, why did she vote for it?

This is always bugged me. If people didn't think it was going to affect them why did they vote for it? It's a disease of hatred. A Mindless thought process disembodied from the rest of their virtues.

This is 90% because Dave Brat beat Eric Cantor in 2014. It is supremely fitting that it was a libertarian Econ prof who wrecked immigration reform and thousands of lives. Human freedom and anti-coercion blah blah, that’s the real-world effect of so much “libertarianism.”

If your last name is Irish, Italian, Polish, or German, your ancestors almost certainly just arrived in the United States, just showed up in an American port and made their way from there. It's a quintessentially American story.

One will further note for the benefit of the racists that if your last name is Hispanic and your family hails from a western state, it's quite possible your ancestors were here and it's the United States that suddenly showed up one day in the 1840s.

It's only natural that if clowns and elephants congregate it's going to draw an audience. Of course we're likely to have somebody walking along a suspended rope and it probably will be integrated with the lion taming function. But that doesn't free us from the moral imperative to abolish the circus.

There's a certain kind of pedant who, when someone mentions that slavery is abolished, jumps in to point out it's still permitted as a punishment. Despite this, it's still completely correct and meaningful to speak of slavery having being abolished.

This isn't that complicated. One of them is going to be president, so which one would you prefer?
Notwithstanding, this is a straw man argument. Harris, et al., were not pedophile cannibals, nor were they in the same galaxy of depravity as Trump, et al.

Interestingly, more and more Democratic candidates I'm hearing from are willing to take an overtly positive position on immigrants (and not just refugees). Real chance that's one outgrowth of Trump's militarization of the issue.

his willingness to say it *early* and robustly defend trans youth around the same time is what makes him stand out

the fact that he does not hesistate to bring up 1/6 as an insurrection and makes a positive case for refugees? if AOC opts out this is my horse.

Being very generous to the Iranians: maybe they were in the meeting to discuss what to do when the Israelis attack and hadn't heard that they were already doing so.

Heard anything else about the alleged Iranian exfiltration of a load of Israeli Intel, including Bibi's black mail files?

I think the easiest explanation is also the simplest: their leaders were really lazy.

Iran is committing genocide in Ukraine
The mullahs are torturing their own people, gouging out their eyes and keeping them in prisons to rape indefinitely.
BiBi is a massive piece of shit but why are you protecting Iran?
