7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

They can do everything you say they need to do without funding ICE. None of it requires giving them more money. Or more accurately, they can stand for all of those things. They don't control anything, but they can refuse to cooperate with the regime that is attacking their voters, the only segment that has majority support for ICE are Republicans.
The time to do that and have significant public support behind them, has passed. Like I said, they shouldn't have passed that $75 billion in the first place and kept the government shut down until every item they wanted was included, AND they had the public support to do so!
Now? Republicans will hammer them for not funding FEMA when there's a massive snow storm getting ready to hit 3/4 of the country, or whatever bullshit they're scheming up this round. When other crap is loaded into a bill, their public support for not supporting it faulters, i wish this wasn't the case.
I want Democrats to win, and i don't think this is the battle to do so. Safe Dems can vocally opposed this all they want, but until we start seeing immigration polls swinging 20-30+ instead of 5-10, Southern Dems in tight races will continue playing that "Middle".
Such pathetic analysis. Just the unending excuses and fear as if anything Republicans do is based on reality at all. The idea that Republicans would even make a FEMA attack, let alone take it would be more damaging than both supporting ICE when half the country wants them abolished and abandoning any line of attack about ICE against a Republican is just such worthless fear-based trash.
You people aren't good at politics. You retreat from fights and lose and then decide the answer is retreating further. Time after time you choose cowardice over standing for anything and then are surprised when Democratic turnout suffers. This isn't even a Democratic issue, it's a 2-1 issue with independents too! And way way way more salient and emotionally impactful than fucking FEMA funding. Something that's already been sabotaged and denied by Republicans.
Jesus fucking Christ.
