Their aspiration is to kick the shins of people they hate. That’s all (often nakedly) he represents. A scream of rage against a changing world they think hates them as much as they hate it. No policy, no ideas, only screaming.
There was once a Kentucky state senator, who made the comment "without fear how are we going to control them". The GOP is the embodiment of that statement.
Well first it was made in the 1990s. The only reason that I know about it is that I was within earshot of him while he was making this walking out of a government office. (I was in the area for very different reasons) Only reason I know he was a senator, people called him that and he wasn't Bob Dole
Fantastic, succinct and accurate summation of the respective ideologies of the parties and reflected exactly here in the UK between Labour and Conservatives .
Labour are all about blaming people and punishing them, too, just a different group of people. They're too burdened by their legacy of white working-class cultural conservativism to depart from that. It's why the Social Democrats realized they had more in common with the old Gladstone Liberals.
It gets to me. They hate us all so much--which is a drag but I guess I'm used to it. But they want to hurt us a LOT. Maybe destroy us or end us. And there's nothing one can do? You cannot change who you are. There's no way to be a worthwhile human being for these people. It doesn't make any sense.
Yeah, she's calling to continue to violate international humanitarian law about how to treat asylum seekers, but she wants to reduce her government's red tape!!
Two different issues within immigration, but we are talking about a path to citizenship that wasn’t there before because living here undocumented means you aren’t eligible. But they have been contributing to society and have community roots. It’s more than just red tape
"living here undocumented means you aren’t eligible" You've identified some of the red tape involved.
Kamala is calling for the government to ignore international humanitarian law and legal obligations to triangulate votes from racists who think of refugees & asylum-seekers as invading minorities.
I heard you the first time. I also hear you say that giving our undocumented neighbors full rights isn’t very important to you.
There are multiple issues in immigration. One of them is so unpopular as to kill anyone in an election….if you only focus on that one, I think you aren’t serious
Obama was very hard on immigration in his first term, and only focused on Dreamers in his second. Harris is talking about it now and also talking about a path to citizenship for folks who’ve been here who aren’t dreamers. The border stuff, ya, I hate that American sentiment is so awful on that
Nah it's not mutually exclusive, focusing on the border is perhaps the worst possible strategy since no matter how xenophobic they get the people who think America is being invaded by savage hordes of foreigners are still going to prefer Republicans. It's a dead end and just depresses their own base
Had Harris been running a standard campaign I’d agree fully. But she was taking over from Biden, who already pissed off the base with Gaza. She doesn’t recapture the base without backing an arms embargo, which splinters the party and drives away big donors. It sucks but I think it was the only play.
Correct except the Dems will ignore the obvious solution in favor of something ineffective and drag their feet about doing anything at all (this is about Railroad Nationalization and Electrification and also Socialist Policies)
Yes but there was another Entity created at the same time that being Conrail a Wildly Successful Union Owned Freight Railroad unfortunately most of Conrail's Assets were sold off in 1999 due to Pressure from the Private Railroads, also Conrail and Amtrak should have been one Entity
Yeah, the Dems have a shitty Gaza policy. It’s not worse than Trump’s and anyway the election is about long-term structural control of the US government. The US left is still burdened by the lingering effects of losses in 2000 and 2016; lose this election and the left will be on defense permanently.

Because America is the whole continent.

it sucks seeing the Dems capitulate on the border but it appears to be that or forget about winning the election. 😣
say we'll make change without actually making change
and
make everything worse, intentionally, and brag about it before we do.
