How is abolish ICE a political loser? Do most Americans like ICE?

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 14 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

republicans love it, and democrats are terrified of upsetting republicans in any way.

I live in Alberta and my most conservative friends are not down with ICE. I own a contracting company and used to work in camp. wtf is going on in the states?!

Fascism

The article said yes, and I agree. Securing the border is one reason Trump got elected.

I mean didn’t only like 30 percent of voting age Americans vote for him though?

Trump won almost every state.

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 2 points 3 weeks ago

We have it in Canada too

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 2 points 3 weeks ago

Yes but under a first past the post system

He won about 3 out of every 5 states - most of which have low populations. By percentage, he didn't surpass 50% nationwide and only won by 1.5%.

Reactionary centrists are the dumbest motherfuckers in the country. Now I know how Walter Sobchak feels: "Say what you want about the tenets of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos."

[–] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 11 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Totally, man.

They should stick with centrism, like they did in 2016, 2020, and 2024. Absolutely a winning strategy. And, if they hadn't rigged their primaries, we'd have just had a President Sanders for eight years.

It took a once-in-a-century pandemic to barely eek out a win against Trump.

For a sec I needed to check the domain.

Horseshit

[–] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml -1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Anyone still believes anything she says?

The Democratic Party would be foolish to nominate AOC to be their presidential candidate.

Obvious troll is obvious.

I would be foolish to walk with my legs but I do shrugs

You're right to be terrified of her. She's intelligent, motivated, and popular. All things the right hates in a woman.

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml -3 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

-- and also a democratic shill who openly lied about the genocide

[–] Tinidril@midwest.social -1 points 4 weeks ago

Give it up. Nobody's buying.

She is pretty and articulate, but her views will not appeal to most Americans. If she is the Democratic nominee for President, she would go up against J.D. Vance. Compare the two apart from their views and ask who would make a better impression. He is a White man. She is a Puerto Rican woman. He is married with children. She is married without children. He was in the US Marines. She was never in the military. He is 6'2". She is 5'4". Height will make a difference during a debate. Note that fashion models are tall.

[–] TheCriticalMember@aussie.zone 5 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

If those are the criteria the majority are voting on, then America deserves what it gets.

[–] direwolf@lemmy.ml -2 points 3 weeks ago

Those are some of the criteria. Military service indicates patriotism and courage. Having children indicates a family man. Some people will view a White man more favorably.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

Vance is a skeevy couch fucker. I don't know why you're so horny for him.

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

agreed; she's going to suck away all of the left of center voters and deliver them to the center-right party; aka the democrats.

[–] direwolf@lemmy.ml -2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

She's going to attract the voters that Harris attracted with the same result.

[–] doubtingtammy@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 weeks ago

So people like Liz Cheney?
