Still kind of tripping off of the fact that’s it’s accepted as an apocryphal truth the “groups” forced candidates to use off putting language like “Latinx” when Voto Latino and Latino Victory Fund are two of the biggest electoral groups around the party

One of the hardest things to explain to people who aren’t here is the very real feeling that we are in a war against the federal government. Not only are we occupied by unaccountable armed, masked paramilitaries, but we are constantly aware our neighbors might be abducted in the blink of an eye.

the demands schumer laid out, in light of existing rules and current ICE practices, are not a serious effort at modifying ICE’s behavior in any meaningful sense. they’re an attempt to mollify the base with meaningless bullshit without actually changing anything so they can move on to affordability

Lots of good points in here about pushing when you have the advantage, but also this key point, which essentially boils down to “You want our votes. You solve it.”

SCHUMER says Democrats are “united” behind three DHS reforms
1/ End roving patrols; tighten the rules on warrants and require ICE to coordinate with local authorities.
2/ Enforce accountability; a uniform code of conduct.
3/ Require masks off, body cameras on, agents carry ID.

dems refusing to dump the filibuster in 2009 despite massive pressure from their base feels like the first in a string of many times over the coming 17 years that the activist base would be right and dem electeds would be wrong, and every time it was to disastrous results

Obamacare is great but it certainly doesn't help its legacy that the healthcare systems in this country are still an absolute cluster fuck for many. Not *really* Obama's fault I suppose but people will naturally wonder why is this shit still so busted.
