I hope and pray I have the opportunity to vote for a candidate that says they will defund and dismantle ICE.

Edit: Even more after waking up today.

1. Amen

We don’t need to continue funding a fascist police state.

2. Our party's candidate must say no.

3. Defund is a word that pukes used against us and will again if we use it.

They probably will anyway.
Restrict or confine ICE would work better for me politically.
Yes get them back in suits and out of this military gear that one of trumps buddy makes.

4. Not enough for me. In the primary.

It is a poisoned agency. It needs to be burned down.

This is my preferred policy position in the primary, I'll fall in line in the general.

5. It is just the word Defund I don't like.

Pukes came up with it and if a Democratic primary candidate uses it they will use it against them in the General.

Customs are needed in other ways. Like weapons detection at ports of entry and docks.

The misuse of the agency is my big thing. The overt military type gear and gatherings in force need to stop.

6. I get it. But I'm allowed to apply a strict standard for my single vote.

The majority of our fellow democrats will decide but this is what, I personally, will require. I hope I get the opportunity to vote for it.

I completely understand your position.

7. What do you get

when you pardon, arm and deploy convicted felons ?
Hitler's playbook. Political domestic terror. Real psycho shit.
How'd that work out in 1945.?A regime steeped in evil, violence, and exploitation.
