Sen. Bernie Sanders also demanded āfundamental reformsā to Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection, saying they are āterrorizingā US communities.
US Sen. Bernie Sanders on Wednesday demanded the removal of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Millerāa key architect of Donald Trumpās violent mass deportation campaignāas well as concrete reforms in exchange for any new funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
In remarks on the Senate floor, Sanders (I-Vt.) called ICE a ādomestic military forceā that is āterrorizingā communities across the country. The senator pointed specifically to the agencyās ongoing activities in Minnesota and Maine, where officers have committed horrificāand deadlyāabuses.
Sanders said that ānot another penny should be givenā to ICE or Customs and Border Protection (CBP) āunless there are fundamental reforms in how those agencies functionāand until there is new leadership at the Department of Homeland Security and among those who run our immigration policy.ā The senator has proposed repealing a $75 billion ICE funding boost that the GOP approved last summer, an end to warrantless arrests, the unmasking of ICE and CBP agents, and more.
Theyāre called voters and they have communicated clearly through the election process that the majority of them are in the middle of the ideological spectrum and not interested in voting left of center. If leftists donāt wake up to that fact they will continue to lose elections.
Im talking about you, not voters.
You donāt speak for voters and you clearly donāt understand them.
The election results speak for the voters and I am just pointing out how the election results contradict your feelings of what voters want.
Democrats, as a franchise, lost the election because they failed to appeal to their base. They tried going for a non-existent, imaginary ācenterā voter, because, like you, their comprehension of what a voter is, what it takes to get a voter, and what default voter behavior will be, its fundamentally flawed.
Trump as the 2024 candidate was one of the least popular candidates of all time. He was one of the most defeat-able opponents in history. But, Democrats (and yourself), donāt understand the world they live in.
The majority of voters are in the middle of the spectrum not far left. The election results are proof of that.
Nation wide progressives/leftists lost more elections than democrats.
Trump won in 2024 because he had the help of election tampering, foreign propaganda and the billionaire class literally buying votes. Just to name of a few things.
Take your destructive world view, a world view that quite literally handed the government to fascists, and shove it up your ass.
You donāt know shit. Just like the DNC doesnāt know shit. And because you think you do, you handed this country to fascism.
Ok, have fun pretending your world view is real even though it is based on your experience in an echo chamber and not the real world.
The DNC will continue to win more elections than leftist/progressives.
