Falling back on the law is always the cowards way out. The law is fundamentally unjust and its cold language does not take into account the political context of the migrants. The problems are the law and US foreign policy.

Wow... if these 4 milk skinned assholes were really against some of Obama’s most heinous crimes they would have fucking QUIT. That takes real courage instead of cynically saying retroactively that you may have not agreed with everything that he did but you tried your damndest to make the country work. The Obama…

Wait so you’re telling me that people who formally worked for the Obama administration are devoid of any meaningful politics? Color me surprised.

Lol i bet you scold people for not voting too.

*Longest fart sound imaginable*

yeah centrism really worked out in the 2016 election.

Lol but he should be hanging out some people in the caucus to dry.

You could at least spend it on delaying these judgeships but Schumer isn’t even competent enough to use procedure to his advantage.

Um no. Anyone with half a brain would not have cut that judge deal with mcconnell. It was an example of extreme political malpractice. Something for which he should have resigned and removed himself from civil society completely.

I think going forward in order to be labeled a “progressive” you have to be on the side of labor at all times.

Dude there are many concrete reasons why people hate Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi.

“As president, Bush was my opposition as chairman of the foreign relation committee,” Biden was quoted as saying at the ceremony. “He was never my enemy. Think about how demeaning our politics has become in terms of how we talk about one another. It was opposition, not enemies.”

I don’t think it’s for precious TV time. I think it’s for a precious war with Iran, which Bolton and the monsters over at the Pentagon are probably actively planning.

Pelosi has been at the center of established Dem power for the last like 16 years. It’s pretty much been drilled into every right wing lunatic how awful she is. Yeah they will demonize the next leader but that person will not be as well known to most people on the right. Are you implying that for this reason we…

Getting rid of Pelosi and Schumer wouldn’t even damage the democrats with their own base. They are two of the least popular politicians in the country. You also get rid of the dumbass GOP campaign trope of running against Nancy Pelosi in every distinct in the country. The GOP understands this. When Boehner didn’t go…

Running as a right-wing democrat is dumb as shit. Why the hell would a conservative take their chances with a “right-wing” democrat when they have a perfectly good republican to vote for? Then you just lose progressive votes. I hate centrism as much as the next guy but if you are truly that afraid of left wing…

For the love of God do not bring Hillary Clinton back.

Nothing is going to change until a member of the 1% is not leading the Democratic party.

Heyyyy remember when Mattis ordered the bombing of a wedding in Iraq that killed 42 people. Very respectful, “adult” in the room we got there.

If you’re not gonna vote because of suppression efforts I hope that you’re getting involved, or trying to build, a movement to resist the GOP and even large sects of the Democratic party. Movements are more powerful than votes.
