Summary
Trump signed the Laken Riley Act into law, expanding mandatory detention for undocumented immigrants accused of theft-related crimes and allowing state attorneys general to sue over immigration enforcement.
Despite warnings from civil rights groups and some Democrats about racial profiling and due process violations, the bill received bipartisan support.
Critics like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Cory Booker argue that Democrats who backed it succumbed to conservative fear-mongering, potentially harming immigrants and undermining civil rights.
Same as always… Republicans block when they’re in the minority, Democrats cave.
how else would they put on the sham act of elections here in the United States?
Democrats are for the people and always fight on their side but the evil Republican villains blocked all their attempts to help
one side has to be “good” and the other “bad” otherwise the very thin veil of fog would lift and reveal the citizens are standing on one side of the gorge with the politicians of both sides on the other with the check writers pulling the strings
not caving but just part of the plan
look like the good party but in actuality just wolves in sheep’s clothing
You are giving them all way more credit for competence and organization than they deserve.
The good cop bad cop duopoly has been in effect in the united states since citizens united.
Both sides literally do whatever their rich donors tell them. Because they will lose their campaign funds and won’t be allowed to stay in office if they defy their owners.
Democratic politicians and failing at a thing: name a more iconic duo
To be clear, the GOP is pure evil. But the absolute fecklessness of the “opposition” party beggars belief.
Yeah. They stayed with the rules and presented a candidate who supported rights and justice and people and also wasn’t fascist, and lost.
Totally their fault for assuming people wouldn’t vote for fascists or let others do it. Fuck them.
The third party effort died, on schedule, soon as Putin didn’t need it anymore. It’s now okay to accept the Dems ran the best candidacy they could and still lost due to nullification and external meddling.
Yes, it’s their fault for assuming they were entitled to votes while telling the population they’re wrong, the economy is great, we’re going to deport immigrants, support genocide abroad, and fill the cabinet with Republicans like the Cheneys.
Voting against trump was the obvious correct choice, then the dems did everything they possibly could to fix that beyond just outright dropping out.
The Democrats vowed to fight with everything at their disposal though! And promised to never cooperate!
Except on key votes where Republicans need a few votes…
I just cannot with the DNC right now. They want to know why people don’t vote for them, it’s this. They aren’t willing to let the GOP fall on it’s face and call it out publicly.
I mean did anyone actually think Democrats would do anything else but fail?
If you want progressive candidates, then vote for them. Don’t blame this legislation on democrats.
(I mean, yes, do blame the DNC, but that’s only part of the problem)
