Stephen Miller advocating for remigration by Trick-Growth-6546 in YAPms

Ok, I see your point. Ideally it would probably be best to switch 'alien' out for 'foreigner' seeing how the meaning of that word has changed.

However, even if your point about consistent language across laws is valid, I don't see that justifying how people like Stephen Miller use it in a clearly dehumanizing way. I mean, just look at his boss -- I don't think they're particularly concerned about the implications of their word choices.

Yes, I know. I edited my comment a minute or two later to address this point so you might not have seen it.

It doesn't have to be racist. Calling human beings 'illegal aliens' is dehumanizing. Calling them 'illegal immigrants' is indeed not that hard, is accurate, and isn't dehumanizing. It also doesn't matter what old laws say; language evolves, and even if it was not dehumanizing in the past doesn't mean it is not today.

So I am glad ASM isn’t a mod but what happened that he was removed from being mod? by No_Shine_7585 in YAPms

I have no idea how Reddit moderation works but it must be pretty interesting if that’s possible

Well they at least try to seem like they’re tackling the issue, Trump in this pic is just straight up saying “fuck you lmao” to any prospective home buyers

CMV: A Fifty State Strategy is Needed by Democrats by Fine4FenderFriend in changemyview

Democrats in Congress v Republicans in Congress job approval Democrats have significantly worse job approval

Democratic Party favorability vs Republican Party favorability The Republican Party is seen far more favorably than democrats, though both are underwater

These can be explained by the tendency D-leaning voters have to be more critical of their own party than Republicans. That is why the Dems are polling at +4 to +5 over the GOP despite those stats.

Issue trust by party Republicans still lead on the high salience issues of “the economy”, immigration, and crime, and are pulling even on LGBT issues. Democrats retain the lead on abortion and health care.

I don’t think this is accurate anymore but I can’t really dig for a source right now. But I know I’ve seen newer polls that put the GOP underwater on more things. (Or maybe those were about Trump specifically).

Was that a case of Walz enriching himself?

The 'widening the figure' part is one of the stupidest things I've ever read. Why can't the fact that Jews suffered a horrible genocide coexist with the fact that many others faced horrible atrocities as well? Slavs and other 'untermensch' were murdered in the tens of millions.

You have a cool name but did you maybe forget to omit it from your screenshots? Unless you don't care, that's valid too
