OK, but they wouldn't cite years the dems got massacred in the house or senate in response to democrats trying to appeal to the mythical "moderate republican" instead of the base.
I don't know how I can make the sarcasm any more obvious.
This strategy lost Obama the house and senate, same with Biden in 2022. Turns out triangulation doesn't work. It just demotivates your base while your "moderate republicans" vote for fascism instead of diet-fascism.
The democrats can produce a river of foreign blood. Republicans will still win the right by promising to double it, and everyone who is horrified by the democrats actions will vote in lower numbers.
I know a lot of loony leftists are saying things like "this is a violation of international law", and "Why are you passing Republican policies, do you want Trump to win", but they don't understand: if you triangulate yourself to be one iota to the left of Trump, every center-right moderate republican will vote democrat. And everyone left of them has to vote democrat anyway, so you'll win an overwhelming majority, Just like what happened in 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016, and 2022!
The bipartisan border enforcement compromise, blocked by Republicans in February, is all but certain to be thwarted again. Democrats aim to tag the G.O.P. as the culprit in its failure.
>Among other changes to immigration law, the measure would make it more difficult to gain asylum in the United States and increase detentions and deportations of those crossing into the country without authorization. It would also effectively close the border altogether if the average number of migrants encountered by immigration officials exceeded a certain threshold — an average of 5,000 over the course of a week or 8,500 on any given day. The bill also would give the president power to close the border unilaterally if migrant encounters reach an average of 4,000 per day over a week.
Some of the locals were pretty gross, blaming other people in their same situation for not having enough "work ethic" instead of looking at the actual causes.
Appalachia is pretty poor, but it's nothing like the reservations that, if they ever had industry, the locals never saw a nickle of.
They protect the institution of private property, not any individual's personal property.
How many of those engineers are gonna end up at Lockheed or Raytheon?
Always knew he'd die with one or more bears inside him.
But you understand that cops, above all else, exist to protect the institution of property correct?
Roads? Slave labor. Taxes? Slave labor. Taxes that fund the police? Somehow not slave labor.
Like you're not wrong, democrats do advocate slave labor in the form of supporting the prison-industrial complex, but I know you're not talking about that.
People who don't understand why she would pick the bear don't deserve bears.
You misunderstand what that quote means. The people having bread and entertainment isn't some kind of trick to lull people into a sense of complacency by diverting them from some ideal society where everyone is hungry and bored, it's pointing out that when a society fails to provide people with these things, they change things until the problem is fixed.
For Ukraine’s sake, I really hope someone diposes Putin in a coup
Yeah you don't want that, the second biggest party is the communists, but from what I hear they're not really communists, just boomers nostalgic for the USSR.
The nationalists waiting in the wings to seize power are even more psychotic than Putin.
The liberals are a distant 4th want to bring back the 90s, which created the conditions that got us here.
The communists would maintain the war for the same reasons the Putin does
The nationalists would make it 10x worse
The libs might end the war, but would definitely immiserate all of Russia again so the nationalists have an easier time recruiting.
Honestly I don't understand why politicians don't do this shit more often. Just delaying say, bombs for Israel or cutting medicaid for a day can save dozens of lives, and show your constituency you understand what these bills mean for real human beings.
But no, every time it's for the worst possible, like promoting corruption or disenfranchizing serbs or something.
Yes, but we'd also see more resistance by libs. Similar to how deportations went down under Trump.
IDK why you're getting downvoted.
Edit: Me too. Guess there's a big contingent who are anti-Hitler, but also support anticommunist 1940s German conservatives who aren't Hitler.
Yeah, circumstances are very different now. Back then the Russian bourgeoisie thought they'd get to join the club. Now they have very little incentive to abide such deals.
Also there's way more right-wing psychos.
IKR. The way such easily accessible information was entirely ignored in western media insane.
People look at me like I'm crazy when I say portraying the guy as Putin's biggest rival is sillier than if Russian papers started claiming Pete Buttigeig was Trump's biggest rival, since at least Mayo Pete didn't come in 4th in a mayoral race.

Navalny co-founded the National Russian Liberation Movement, known as NAROD (The People), which sets immigration policy as a priority.[437] The movement allied itself with two nationalist groups, the Movement Against Illegal Immigration and Great Russia
Those groups are both pretty big on fashy iconography
In the same year, he released several anti-immigration videos,[439][440][441][442] including one where he advocated the deportation of migrants.[443] In one of the videos, in which he advocates for gun rights, he compares Muslims from the Caucasus to cockroaches and mimics shooting one who attempts to "attack" him.
His views on foreign policy evolved over time.[448] He had initially supported the Russo-Georgian War in 2008,[456] having asked the Russian army to strike the Georgian General Staff, calling Georgians "rodents"[457] and requesting that all Georgian citizens be expelled from the Russian Federation.[458] He later apologized for insulting the Georgians, while stating that his principled position remained unchanged.
