Dems continue to drop the ball in all aspects of governing again and again. Gop spent what 40-50 years to get roe v wade over-tuned. Dems just let gop break norms and laws to pack the courts.
They do not future plan for anyone but their donors.
And again you’re ignoring the part they don’t even want to do anything about ice except training and body cameras, as the ones doing the most damage to citizens and civilians are the veterans of the force and already being filmed.
It’s the perfect encapsulation of how little this democrat party and leadership will do for the people AND how they just work on optics rather than you know actually doing anything.
Then again nothing will change your perception of the party so you’re response will still ignore everything and simply focus on how this all means we need to get behind candidates now

There are a lot of failures I wish they hadn’t failed at, yes. Tom Daschle in particular, but that’s a different thread.

Disagree. Their donors have no idea how they’ll fuck up the next thing either.

This is not about ICE but since we should all benefit from my ability to search,
The full list of Democrats’ demands is as follows:
1. Targeted enforcement
DHS officers cannot enter private property without a judicial warrant. End indiscriminate arrests and improve warrant procedures and standards. Require verification that a person is not a US citizen before holding them in immigration detention.
2. No masks
Prohibit ICE and immigration enforcement agents from wearing masks and other face coverings.
3. Require ID
Require DHS officers conducting immigration enforcement to display their agency, unique ID number and last name. Require them to verbalize their ID number and last name if asked.
4. Protect sensitive locations
Prohibit funds from being used to conduct enforcement near sensitive locations, including medical facilities, schools, childcare facilities, churches, polling places, courts, etc.
5. Stop racial profiling
Prohibit DHS officers from conducting stops, questioning and searches based on an individual’s presence at certain locations, their job, their spoken language and accent, or their race or ethnicity.
6. Uphold use-of-force standards
Place into law a reasonable use-of-force policy, expand training and require certification of officers. In the case of an incident, the officer must be removed from the field until an investigation is concluded.
7. Ensure state and local coordination and oversight
Preserve the ability of state and local jurisdictions to investigate and prosecute potential crimes and use-of-excessive-force incidents. Require that evidence is preserved and shared with jurisdictions. Require the consent of states and localities to conduct large-scale operations outside of targeted immigration enforcement.
8. Build safeguards into the system
Make clear that all buildings where people are detained must abide by the same basic detention standards that require immediate access to a person’s attorney to prevent citizen arrests or detention. Allow states to sue the DHS for violations of all requirements. Prohibit limitations on member visits to ICE facilities regardless of how those facilities are funded.
9. Body cameras for accountability, not tracking
Require use of body-worn cameras when interacting with the public and mandate requirements for the storage and access of footage. Prohibit tracking, creating or maintaining databases of individuals participating in first amendment activities.
10. No paramilitary police
Regulate and standardize the type of uniforms and equipment DHS officers employ during enforcement operations to bring them in line with civil enforcement.
Now i’m no mathimagician but i’m pretty sure 10 is more than two so we’ll point out that (a) you’re wrong again, and (b) if we had gotten 2% more support in 2024 there would be none of this fucked up ICE-as-secret-police bullshit.
I appreciate the Democrats have problems, and let’s fucking fix them because doing nothing (that’s all other parties except the republicans plus your various -isms that don’t vote due to reasons) will not stop the republicans from creating our imminent destruction.
Of course we said that in 2024 and instead of any support just got this mix of hate for colonialism (? okay) and non-stop shrieking about genocide so here we are with fascism on full display and really no end in sight because The Perfect Candidate doesn’t exist and the so-called-left won’t even agree as to what day it is.
Midterms in eight months. Howabout we don’t fuck it up again?
Just chiming in here to say that you are the most insufferable person imaginable and a perfect example of the attitude that has caused the Democratic party to lose repeatedly to the most moronic fascist movement in history. This - what you are doing now - is far more to blame for the rise of fascism in this country than the DNC’s critics on the left who you so obnoxiously love to whip into silence for the sake of electing another corporate stooge who will only keep the seat warm for the next fascist to humiliate them.
Glad you love the status quo! Because you’re going to get more of it then.
If you actually think [Democratic Representative] is a fascist, then you’re an idiot. Do they make bad decisions? Sometimes! Are they supporting capitalism? Usually! Is it better than republican actual-no-shit-irl fascism? YES. 10,000%. But if you’re stuck so far up your own ism that you can’t be arsed to defeat republicans, and there’s not another party for 3000 miles then - settle in. You’ll get more of this.
Which is what we told you 18 months ago and you shit on it then too. And the ensuing carnage hasn’t changed your mind at all.
It’s the perfect encapsulation of how little this democrat party and leadership will do for the people AND how they just work on optics rather than you know actually doing anything.
So 7 of the 10 are training, 1 is the cameras and the other 2 are just saying follow the law so great demands. Which as you pointed out earlier is also due to the bill they voted through so not really helping case.
Midterms in eight months. Howabout we don’t fuck it up again
Again not at all relevant with newsom who isn’t running in the midterms. If anything hes the one hurting the cause as he is terrible and keeps being in the public eye as the current top dem in the wings

Apology accepted

The funding bill specified none of that, nor would it. (Although, yeah it should have. Crushing norms like trump does means a ridiculous escalation in bureaucracy unless we want to leave it open like that.)

You mean the glorious struggle?
