Well, there is still time, and at least Clooney is trying to do something

lol well it’s kind of hard for them to vote (read: impossible) until they complete the legal naturalization process, but ok.

You’re right that our politicians in Congress suck ass for not reforming immigration policy. It has gone pretty much untouched since the 60s. Name me any other profession where you can collectively fuck off and not do your job at all for 60 years and it’s considered normal, like wtf.

I’d prefer a world without violence. Perhaps once where our tax dollars are spent on our happiness and well being, as opposed to inflicting violence on “others.”

You should be aware that immigrants to our country are incredibly motivated and hard working on average. Many of them do jobs Americans are unwilling to do, and at near starvation wages because they are exploited by their employers due to their status. Most importantly - research has shown them to commit less violent crimes compared to native born Americans. Please let that sink in.

You seem angry about our living situation based on what you wrote. I get it, I’m mad about things too - just make sure you’re directing that ire at those who deserve it. Immigrants aren’t the enemy here. We’re all immigrants brother, it’s what built this great nation. As it has been since time immemorial - the enemy are the elites who work to set us against once another so they can steal everything we have while we’re distracted. It’s a class war, and these immigrants you’re getting all riled up about are on our side of that conflict.

Yes, top cop Kamala. And now they’re threatening to roll with her if Biden has to step down. We’re doomed.

Lots of people are saying it. Smart people ;]

Hmm…I wasn’t aware of the stipulations surrounding Nevada, that’s actually a bit worrisome. Thanks for pointing this out, will need to read up on it more. I honestly think GA is a lost cause this year for the Dems but we shall see.

Keen for the possibility you laid out for 3rd parties to get a foothold, hoping to see that exact scenario unfold! There are many who feel reforming the Dems is the only way towards the Left, but the party seems like such a lost cause. If only a populist 3rd party candidate could get just a small foothold, I could see voters backing them in monumental droves within just 1 election cycle. Ah, the dream.

If you mean giving people housing instead of locking them in cages while they await asylum hearings, then yeah, let’s hope so. I’m not holding my breath though.

It’s only about 20-30% who want the orange king imo.

2/3 of the country is actually progressive - if only we had someone for whom to vote.

…our most infamous capitalists supplied and financed both sides…

Not the least of whom happened to be Fred Trump, the former president’s father. Unfortunately there is a large gap in his FBI file before and after the war, where we would expect to find documented proof of these activities. Still, it seems pretty clear what happened, and he certainly didn’t hide his racism publicly.

Morons, who play right into the hands of HR!

There was no primary in good faith, Biden didn’t even entertain a debate with those running. His admin colluded with state DNC boards to cancel primaries in some states, and remove contenders from the ballot in others. Establishment Dems bullied and threatened major contenders behind the scenes to prevent them from even attempting to run. In light of recent events it’s quite obvious why.

So to me this isn’t a valid argument for Biden’s legitimacy, quite the opposite in fact. And quite ironic in an election where “democracy is on the line.”

No, the problem is democrats refusing to run a real populist against a fake populist like Trump. Instead we get the same establishment garbage, which is exactly what the Trump campaign is geared towards defeating. Schiff is also incorrect - Kamala would be just as bad in this regard.

If Dems run a real populist who is a champion of the people, not the corporations, Trump would be exposed and the whole MAGA movement would fall apart at the seams.
