News flash. If they're praising the blatant illegal activity of ICE and the Tyrannical-Rump administration, they ARE NOT democrats. They're Fascist plants. Vote them out and if they don't go, start rolling up your sleeves.

They are Democrats. Praising and enabling "law enforcement" while casting oneself as the savior from tyranny is part of the essence of the modern Democratic Party. It's those who don't who are the exception.

This article does a good job explaining what is going on, while also shaming the Democrats who fell for the trap: https://jonathancohn.medium.com/a-tale-of-two-resolutions-75-dems-join-gop-in-resolution-praising-trumps-mass-deportation-regime-15cf590770ea

If any of the Democrats on this list represent you, give them a call and ask them why they agreed to this resolution.

Holy wow, I am shocked my singular Dem Blue Dog voted against. But he should have been retired long ago and has done so much damage to the credibility of voting blue. Maybe he got rich enough and/or has health concerns and plans to retire. Maybe he had a change of conscience. Idk, but I'm so shocked he voted against, I don't know what else I feel about this, other than "that's better than nothing after all these decades."

Omar got how many? The other guy got 75?

Yeah. I'm not voting blue until they earn it.

Yep, letting Republicans take over will certainly help. I should know as someone from a state whose entire Federal representation is republican. We get some of the most egregious and stupid punishing bills imaginable past. And it's really helped us I'm sure somehow.

However I can't help but think that maybe voting is the minimum we should do. And that we should vote conscientiously and strategically to keep Republicans from elected office even if that means voting for a Democrat. But more importantly we should primary all Democrats and all republicans. Not just vote for who the inadequate ones in charge think is good. Vote blue to keep the Republicans out if we have to. But primary them all.
