Have we risen to the point of igniting our powder?
Should our party leadership be in the freezing streets, arm in arm with priests and protestors, making clear that we are in the minority and own no part of this. Want no part in this. We are not afraid of the politics of this, or labels, because this isn't about politics: it is a clear, unambiguous, moral imperative.
Or should our leadership be giving pressers on CHIP legislation in Syracuse NY on the wonders of bipartisanship?
Do we fight or do we die?

They need to represent their constituents, who are perhaps fearing for their lives. Perhaps the shared experience - of terror, of alienation - will end this for good.
Fuck ICE.
Abolish ICE.
No State Sec in the USA.

We've been dying by inches for a year now. Time to see if we still have any hope of living.

(26,534 posts)The party is still sending the admin hundreds of billions of dollars right along with the Republicans.
But I predict 3-5 DUers are going to tell me how I am disruptive, shameful, and a bad Democrat.
I'm feeling it again today. The spirit moving me. I'd wager a post gets hidden.
Leadership serves us, not the other way around.
I know you know this, but for those Democrats more concerned with orthodoxy and amoral political platitudes, I must dissent.
