    This rally cry (to dismantle DHS) sounds exactly like the kind of popular policy position the Democrats always take when they are out of power. Then, when we give them the power to act, they refuse to implement it (usually in service of some nonsense like “mending”, “coalition building”, or “returning to normalcy”).

      Yep, so if voting is still on the menu, we need to vote out the incumbent establishment dems who refuse to remediate these state terror programs.

      Schumer and Jeffries won’t even support defunding ICE. Primary these dipshits while you still can New York!

        Installing new politicians in the DNC will change nothing until those Junior members are confirmed to not be a threat to the current power structure they’re not given any power that would threaten that power structure

      Wealthy Democratic Party donors/leaders need the military in the streets putting down populist uprisings as much as Republican ones do. Often they are the same people.

      Because, let’s face it, democrat and republican are two faces of the same coin.

      Yeah, that’s about the size of it. Of course the alternative is electing out-and-proud Nazis, so I guess its the choice that we get.
