what i am trying to say is i think about how fucked up and evil and stupid our immigration system is all the time and reforming it remains one of my bedrock political concerns

aubreygilleran.bsky.social•301 days ago

Honestly feel like, hindsight 20/20, it should have been the priority of Obama’s filibuster-proof majority in 2009. But I also didn’t experience pre-ACA health care as an adult, so people can take that with a grain of salt.

aubreygilleran.bsky.social•301 days ago

(Still wild to think about the fact that not only did Democrats command a majority that large but that it only took two cycles to create. 2006 and 2008 were incredible.)

Given how obvious it is to me now that the 2010 backlash was just driven by racist panic about having elected a Black president, I assume that whatever issue they went for would have gotten the same treatment as the ACA. Honestly terrifying to think what immigration's "death panels" would've been.

aubreygilleran.bsky.social•301 days ago

Oh, yeah, immigration would have led to a wipeout, but the most important thing is that it would have been done, much like the ACA never actually did get repealed.

silkscreenfiend.bsky.social•301 days ago

Yeah. I think occasionally about how McCain basically saved the GOP, as well as countless people's lives, when he thumbed-down the catastrophic ACA repeal.

Yep, for the love of God, immigrants AND labor rights are both great, maximize both.
