@eschatonblog.com is right, of course
At some point if a group keeps setting up situations where they will fail to stop ICE and orchestrating ways to fund ICE (the House vote) then they support ICE
Using the transitive property of politics...
Yeah, I might not actually vote for Dems this year

This is a "yes, and..." moment
Dems are advocating maybe doing... something. It is completely insufficient - we should not have death squads, full stop - but as usual they are trying to paste over the bad times, look forward not backward, return to normal, etc. etc.

Personally, I think this reflects the fact that we have two flavors of corporate party - Fascist and Oligarch - and people want Social Democracy

Miller's type of thinking is just standard GOP framing. Dems answer is not opposition, Obama understood the utility of just simply bombing someone when he ordered it, but instead pretending they would create some sort of acceptable framework and limits - press helped them sell that fiction :
![The aide said that guys like me were 'in what we call the reality-based community,' which he defined as people who 'believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.' [...] 'That's not the way the world really works anymore,' he continued. 'We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors...and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do'.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36wuekqgek25ptml6eiqnu6f/bafkreicqsx3c3gxyi2qscrkuqxf73qupatshycq3xcdk3wgjuwkqvm562q@jpeg)

I don't want Fascism - but Dem's offered alternative is wage slavery to corporate overlords... which I also don't want

From TPM. I agree with this, and I think it also goes for participatory democracy, education, regulatory agencies, etc.
The cost of our populace unlearning conservative lies and re-learning liberal lessons is going to be very high and multi-generational

The fact that soldiers (or anyone with a paying job) needs government help to get food shows how misaligned any idea of a "minimum wage" is with reality, in the US
This would make some great Dem propo fodder...

Have they no shame?
Why the HELL would we want input from the people that admit their short sightedness and mistakes allowed Fascism?
Even their timeline - 4 years from now, I guess in anticipation there will be a free and fair election - betrays they've learned nothing!

@joshtpm.bsky.social is insightful and runs a must-read site (TPM). His analysis is spot on here - this is what Dems must do if they ever get the opportunity
But is the D party even remotely capable of accomplishing this?
I don't. Josh does this for a living and hopefully he knows something I don't

What could be more on brand than for the Democratic Nobel Peace Prize winner to finally call (on X) for unspecified action in Gaza to prevent the bad things that continue to happen from happening
If it's like torture, he'll get call it "genocide" when it's to late to have any effect on his friends

If you know your Arizona history, then you know that the period the Republicans are trying to return us to - 1870 - 1920's - was not so good, very bad for normal folks
