      We’re so used to fighting each other, that’s our default reaction.

      ICE did its main job here: dividing us further.

      They’re fascists of another flavor. You can tell because of their words but also their inability to defend their statements without blaming out groups.

        So your goal here is to dilute the phrase fascism so that everyone’s a fascist and we don’t really need to do anything different now than we did 10 years ago.

        Is that not your goal? Because that’s what you’re accomplishing.

    Somebody ask one of the mouthpieces what made this particular store a target of their “targeted” enforcement and where that fits in immigration law.

    Yet, again, it has long been time, for these Dem. ‘90+% Capitalist’ Party Mayors to try (some cities’ police are working with the Federal Army & in most cities, the police are bigger than the mayors) put the police out there to follow The Federal Army & protect the activist & immigrants-nonimmigrants people & work with states’ National Guards & Governors to put the states’ National Guards out there to follow The Federal Army & protect the activist & immigrants-nonimmigrants people & work with cities’ police. I hope the voters that are for sure not voting for Rep. ‘Crazy Capitalist’ Party, but thinking of voting for Dem. ‘90+% Capitalist’ Party, then those voters remember how long it took them to this, if they ever do it, & vote for political Left 3rd party. In ‘2024 Presidential election, all the Dem. ‘90+% Capitalist’ Party voters either did not vote or voted Rep. ‘Crazy Capitalist’ Party SHOULD HAVE VOTED POLITICAL LEFT 3RD PARTY.

      Hey, real quick…

      Where are those third party candidates now? I’m curious because from where I sit, and from factual reality-

      They only show up every four years wanting to get elected. In-between elections, they don’t to jack shit any more than anyone else. So….

      What good reason does anyone have to believe that a 3rd party candidate is worth their word when they won’t walk-the-walk when they’re needed.

        What exactly are your Democrats doing besides sitting on their arse waiting for reelection also that you’re so readily excited to denounce 3rd parties?

        Edit: oh just downvotes, nothing to add? I thought as much.

          Responding more to your profile page than this particular comment:

          Please say something that wouldn’t be said by someone trying to keep Americans in despair and believing themselves powerless to change the situation.

          They’re at least in the fray, as ineffective as they are, they’ve standing to be counted, unlike your do-nothing 3rd party ghosts.

          And I only just downvoted you now when I saw your predictable response. Looks like yours is not the popular opinion here.

            Are they though? They are just as beholden to the oligarchy as their opponents. From what I’ve seen it’s just words from people like Newsome who is problematic as all fuck, and my home governor Pritzker who is a billionaire himself. Granted I’m happy and privileged to live in a blue state the nonresponse from officials in Minnesota proves they are not in the fray. And the 3rd party ghosts don’t have any sway because no one voted for them as representatives! It’s like some people are telling the public they are unviable.

            There are hundreds of Democratic representatives and yet the only ones that are close to moving are people like Sanders or Cortez in Congress who I doubt would even align with the conservative liberal party if it wasn’t an unspoken requirement because of people like you.

            If the vote count during the reopening of the government during the shut down didn’t show you these are people seeking safe votes for potential reelection I don’t know what else to tell ya.

              Again, point out to me a single 3rd party candidate that has vocally stood against the bullshit happening to everyone as a result of trump’s administration.

              They are nowhere to be seen. Vapor. Absent.

              As I said… They only show up to try and get elected every four years, and disappear when they lose. They cannot be trusted to do the right thing when it’s needed they cannot be trusted to even be there when they’re needed.

              They’re unelectable. And that is why no one will ever take them seriously.

        EXACTLY! After The USA Supreme Court rules he can run for third time as president, he will probably fake & rig the election & results so that he wins! It might be the last time we have any election! I am serious, easier to fake & rig the process, than just cancel the need for any elections.

        Of course at first I thought you were saying about how each election more people that are legal voters have their right to vote rigged-out from underneath them, & not just done by The Rep. ‘Crazy Capitalist’ Party. Just ask the 2016 & 2020 state of Cali. Independents & Brooklyn Black voters, that were going to vote for Bernie by 90+%, at each locations.
