Immigration enforcement is sowing chaos in Minneapolis and across the country. Democrats, elections officials and civil rights groups fear it could interfere with this November’s elections — and are scrambling for a response. They’re warning that the White House’s deployments of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol agents could act as a voter suppression tool should armed officers conduct raids at or near polling locations, scaring citizens into staying home.

    But when they win, it’ll be their police force! And if they don’t support it, the Swing MAGA Voter can’t be persuaded to support them when they campaign on “Release The Epstein Files” in October.

    You just don’t understand what it takes to win elections, unlike a liberal party that runs Perfect Campaigns. If they don’t win in 2026, it’ll be your fault.

      But logically, if they don’t win, it is your fault.

      How else are they supposed to win, by trying to steal votes? Suppress them like Donald Cunt is actively doing?

      Don’t fret, though. The dems are adept at bending to Republic卐n will by now, the spineless fucks.

        California’s giving this a shot with their gerrymandering initiative. Probably the smartest thing a blue state legislature has tried in decades.

        Don’t fret, though. The dems are adept at bending to Republic卐n will by now

        It’s not even “bending to the Republicans” so much as “getting money from the same six trillionaires and their lobbyists”.

        Like, you want to pretend this is a Red State / Blue State problem, but the bluest blotches in the country are home to some of the most prolific reactionary mega-donors. NYC, Chicago, LA, Seattle, Houston… They’re all pock marked with board rooms full of ice-chewing fascist psychos.

        I think their post is more a critique about how the DNC fails to capture the interest of their electorate by supporting more moderate policies and refusing to actually dismantle the systems that create the oppression and exploitation in an attempt to woo a mythical moderate Republican that just doesn’t exist.
