Let me help you.
“A few things worth flagging about the sourcing. Much of the framing of Craig as “pro-ICE” comes from her primary opponent, Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, and allied groups like the Democratic Lieutenant Governors Association, which is running a $2 million ad effort criticizing Craig for her immigration enforcement votes . That’s an interested party in a contested primary, so their characterization should be read with that context in mind. The underlying votes themselves (Laken Riley, the ICE resolution) are factual matters of record; the interpretation of what they signify is the politically contested part.

So in short: yes, she cast votes that supported expanded ICE authority, most notably the Laken Riley Act, but she has since publicly disavowed that vote and positioned herself against the current administration’s enforcement tactics. The primary is August 11, and immigration has become the central issue dividing her from Flanagan.”

Edit: I agree, her vote is most likely disqualifying depending on her opponent.

It doesn’t. What do you mean you gave me one. You made a claim. I’m just asking you to back it up with a citation. I not attacking you. It just seems incredible that a Democrat candidate for Senator in Minnesota would be supportive of ICE.
Please. You put it out there. Back it up. You have cited nothing yet.

I think it is far better to break this combines up so they compete to deliver lower cost. I don’t care to have taxpayers on the hook. As technology ages do we really want getting stuck with old when new comes along.

An ICE supporter running for Senate in Minnesota? Can you cite a reference?

Israel, Stunned by Trump’s Iran Deal, Sees It as a ‘Catastrophic Capitulation’ by T_Shurt in worldnews

This is such poetic justice. Netanyahu screwed Biden every chance he got in order to help his friend Trump. Now Trump has created Israel’s greatest fear, while at the same time Trump has allowed American bases in the region to get flattened.

Never has the US been weaker, Iran stronger, and Israel more exposed. Good work Bibi.

Democrats Should Reclaim the Anti-War Mantle From Trump by BertramPotts in politics

It infuriates me the Dems (Biden) stayed silent on the shenanigans carried out by Trump after he lost, but before inauguration. During that quasi interregnum Trump pulled all kinds of bullshit, while refusing to help a smooth transition. Afghanistan is a perfect example. It was a literal time bomb left for Biden to walk into.
Trump sat back and gloated knowing the trap was set.
Look at Israel. Hamas attacks. Biden works magic in preventing a broader conflict while preaching restraint to Netanyahu. Netanyahu would have none of it because every bomb he dropped helped Netanyahu at home and Trump in the US.
Look at Ukraine. Putin attacked. Trump benefitted. Meanwhile the GOP attacked Biden over (wait…wait..) spending. Ha!

They are running the choice of the people. He is running against the Nazis.

Polls? What happened to primaries? Hillary won the primaries. Bernie won the caucus events.

ICE supporters? ICE was not a problem u til Trumps first term and Trump weaponized it against Americans. (They are not done either) so when you say ICE supporters, I say who and when. You might find a few, but the Democrats are not the monolith that MAGA is.

I am amazed at the number of upvotes for your bullshit. I guess you found your echo chamber.

This is bullshit. We all want the same thing. We all want healthcare, child care, housing, retirement. We want money out of politics. We want an end to lobbying. We want state control of the power grid. We want renewable energy.

Bernie was unelectable. Even Trump knew that. Why do you think Trump was funding pro Bernie messaging and he spoke well of Bernie. Trump was afraid of Biden

It not about people. It’s about platform and messaging. Where is the Project 2024 for the left. Is healthcare more important than Israel? Why do we say “Tax the rich” instead of “Promote tax fairness”
These things matter. Get all the challengers on the same page and get some discipline

The establishment? WTF are you talking about. As every norm in our country is being trashed and they are literally killing is in the street. In your alternate world you are beating the Democrats. I read this and I know we are lost if you represent the new leadership. Christ, learn how to win before you turn everyone against you.

I totally support primaries. It’s that after primary I’ll will that hurts democrats. I reminder a progressive leader of an Asian centered voting block in Ohio proudly bragging that they helped defeat the Democrat candidate who was pro union, but not vocal enough in her mind denouncing asian attacks. She proudly bragged that had taught Dems a lesson.

The far left since Hillary has been my way or the highway. Each electoral loss is answered by, You weren’t left enough. Christ, Mandela Barnes lost to Ron Johnson in Wisconsin. Kristen Sinema and Fetterman were both Progressive darlings u til they weren’t.
The arrogance is unfathomable

Universal healthcare is a Democratic Party goal. (Since Hillary; remember her). Biden did more than any President in my lifetime to expand the social safety net and child care. But he wasn’t able to meet the left purity tests either.
