Well. Time to prepare myself for the onslaught of stupid/heinous comments defending ICE.

“Never criticize the centrist Democrats and never praise progressives” has to be one of the dumbest hot takes I’ve seen this year.

Jesus, this guy’s white mediocrity power level is over 9,000.

Yeah, but unlike Death Stranding, I don’t need that in my hands right this instant.

Yes and shockingly, he’ll continue to try and do worse whether there’s action or inaction. Just letting ICE continue to exist when it has always been a horrifying organization well before Trump came along is an idiotic idea.

He’ll do something worse whether there’s action or inaction. It would probably be best to actually do something.

I take it Baracka finally left?

Yes this is the part that drives me mad. Essentially people want to be able to stop thinking about how rotten this country is from the top down. Not to actually change it meaningfully, but for the illusion of agreement.

Except the people “in the middle” do more to enable people like Mitch McConnell than the progressives. That’s the point you seem to be unable to grasp.

So basically just stand by and let people die in concentration camps, or whatever other pop up facility because Trump MIGHT do something worse than what’s already happening?

It’s almost as if the article wasn’t bemoaning the lack of abolishing ICE, so much as the discussion seemingly vanishing into the ether. But I guess making a daily jackass statement in a Splinter article is so much more important than reading what was actually said..

*waits for the posts siding with the CIA and FBI*

You realize Biden has a wider and much longer history of shittiness than just that right?

But don’t you get it? We must defend all Democrats regardless of how harmful they are to the country and the supposed broader goals of the party.

We must support all Democrats, otherwise the Republicans will win and do things like push anti-choice legislation and be pro-big business. /s

Splinter Centrists: wE nEED tO pROTect AlL demoCRATS. 

Yes. because there’s never going to be an instance where you can’t access your electronic account and physical money might be useful.

“Other countries look to us as a beacon. We cannot let that beacon dim.”

The same reason we have leaders as weak and nakedly corrupt as Pelsoi and Uncle Chuck still standing. Tribalism is a helluva drug.

Because they think there’s something admirable about gentrifying the fuck out of a place so that only the absurdly wealthy and their social inferiors can live there?
