It's not a mass deportation bill, but it is an asylum denial bill that violates international law and it's one that Trump killed.
Trump killed a legitimately bad and cruel bill. He did it because he's a petty idiot and he didn't want to let his rival have a "win", but he still did it. Harris promises to bring that awful shit back. All bipartisan bills are bad, every time. Whenever democrats start talking about bipartisanship, realize what they're actually talking about is fascist collaboration.
The other party is the enemy. We shouldn't be working with them, we should be- doing something else with them. ๐
Yeah muricas politics is fucked, yet Trump is still a worse choice in pretty much all regards. I could even imagine him bringing back a worse law...
It's choosing for the lesser evil...
The lesser evil is doing genocide.
Trump is the vulgar evil, which is why under Trump we saw the largest protest movement in US history. When Trump does and says his stupid evil bullshit, people fight back.
Bipartisanship is the boring evil, it tries to lull people to sleep. People in the US are still fighting back against the bipartisan genocide consensus, but it can't reach the same critical mass of outrage that happened under Trump.
As far as I'm concerned Democrats who appeal to bipartisanship are fascist collaborators, and collaborators are not a lesser evil.
And the greater evil will do more genocide. It's not a hard concept to grasp.
If the government is doing genocide it must be stopped by any means necessary.
Well, go for it. Good luck.
And how? With two bad choices (but one less bad)? You want to run against the strongest military in the world and police? Don't get me wrong, but I would also wish for different politics in the USA, but it ain't realistically happen. So as European I can just hope they don't vote for that racist narcissistic douchebag Trump. I mean my respect for Americans suffered irreversibly when he got elected in the first place...
The anti-genocide protests have had a huge impact on the race, I think that gives us a model going forward. We need more occupations, more public demonstration, more disrupted campaign events, and more confrontation with the bipartisan genocide consensus. It's not hopeless. We can do it.
Yeah I hope the best with this, especially USA could profit of more socialism (it's sad how extreme the gap between rich and poor is, and how much mental health has decreased there), but plz not with Trump.
