    Most Democrats are not pro-ICE, and those who are don’t endorse their present tactics. All Republicans are pro-ICE.

      Most democrats citizens are not pro ice. Most democrat politicians are

      That’s because the greatest lie that was ever told to the American public was “democrats are the left progressive party”

        Every time there is a vote on ICE, the exact minimum number of Democrats required to pass the issue vote in support. That is true even when they hold a majority. Your post makes it sound like that is a carefully orchestrated phantasm.

        I want to present an alternative explanation.

        I can’t, but I want to.

          Actually I learned something new today. Thanks to entitled wine moms like Neera Tanden, who won’t shut the fuck up about Hasan Piker and how he’s “a predator” and need to “get out of our party”, I learned about the Democratic Leadership Council and Tanden’s own Center for American Progress exist to keep right-wing plants in charge of the Democratic Party to prevent it from moving further left, even though a large majorly of its constituents want a left-progressive party to vote for.

          The fucking rich people swooped in and pushed the left-moving party right. They stole everything from us including our political party.

          Fuck these fucking ghouls, we are coming for our party back in November.

      The leader of the Democratic party in the Senate whipped votes to endure the ICE expansion would pass, and voted for it himself.

      The Democratic party might talk some shit about ICE, but the guy who they have elected as their party leader for 20+ years voted to quintuple its budget.

        Obama gave ICE “cazr” Tom Homan a service award after Homan created the policy to separate children from the parents during immigration issues. Seems like a Trump policy, but nope, it was Dems. Never let the republicans claim they are crueler to immigrants than Dem leaders are. Biden and Obama made Trump look like a dirty hippie by comparison.

      Most Democrat politicians are pro-ICE. Most Democrat voters claim to be anti-ICE, and then vote for pro-ICE politicians in primaries anyway
