    I guess this just goes to show what everyone is saying.

    The left is shooting themselves in the foot. People care about immigration and the left won’t solve it. So they lose power, that’s democracy in action.

    If the left want wants they need to listen to the concerns of the people.

      Not that you’re wrong with your conclusion, but you picked a bad issue to go on. Democrats won’t solve immigration because there’s nothing to solve. Immigrants are not committing crimes at a higher rate than the rest of the population, and while America gets a lot of migrants, we also have a collapsing birthrate and need a growing populace for infinite shareholder growth.

      The problem is that Republicans keep making up lies about immigration, even nonsensical lies like “they’re eating the dogs,” and the Democrats do nothing to dispel these lies. They don’t sit down with the charts that verifiably disprove the Republican bullshit. Instead, they pick it up, and promise they’ll be tougher on immigration next time, giving legitimacy to the lies.

      People care about their economic well-being (which “the immigrants” are just scapegoats for) and the liberals abjectly refuse to do anything about that.

      But that still doesn’t excuse anybody flushing the rule of law down the toilet.

        Did i say it did?

        People obviously care note about immigration than that. That’s how high of a priority it is I guess.
