As the daughter of Syrian and Iraqi immigrants (and with refugee family who managed to get in under the wire), thank you for saying this. I have nothing but disdain for the backstabbers who valued their sanctimony over the rights of my family.

Sorry, snuggly wuggles, I’m not arguing with someone who cites Cuba as a viable alternative to American democracy. If that’s the best you can come up with, then I’m afraid I’m not the one who is brainwashed. Also, lol “Overton windows.” Come back when you know actual political science terminology, and not punditry…

Democracy does a hell of a better job protecting minorities than its alternatives. Do you think women fare well in authoritarian regimes? Yeah, no. You’re conflating democracy with capitalism. You get the democracy you deserve.
