        She will 100%

        Why are people up voting random bullshit like this?

        There is not a 100% chance, and if there was, we wouldn’t know about it.

        Its almost always people who insisted no problems existed when Biden was in office though.

          If you think trump won’t start deporting it’s political enemy ( starting by the more vocal of them ) and do a big show about it then you are living in a dreamland

          And where did i say Biden had no problem?

            If you think trump won’t start deporting it’s political enemy

            I do think that…

            But no one except trump knows that.

            Someone said they hoped she wouldn’t be, and you said:

            She will 100%

            Do you understand the problem with your statement?

            And where did i say Biden had no problem?

            I remarked:

            Its almost always

            I don’t think I’m going to be able to help you here if you legitimately don’t see any differences in what we’re saying

              Do you think being this much of a pedant is helping anything? You could be posting actually productive comments instead of picking apart the smallest words of people you actually agree with anyway.

    Are she and Sanders the only politicians in the United States actively opposing Trump? I keep searching for news of others taking a stand, but it appears only those two are doing so openly.

    Trump has crossed so many lines but I really do not see any outcry, mass resistance or opposition?

      Be mindful not to mistake suppression of dissent with lack of dissent. News media is actively avoiding protests. We’re out there, even if the news cameras aren’t.

      Illinois governor JB Pritzker is openly opposing through legislation and trolling. He held a mock press conference stating that Lake Michigan was now Lake Illinois and went to the zoo to negotiate with penguins on tariffs. California governor Gavin Newsom is suing the Trump admin over tariffs.

      There were also coordinated protests across the US a couple weeks ago. Every town hall held by Republicans is a complete zoo, so much so that certain reps fear for their life and have stopped holding them.

      Federal workers are leaking musk directives and doing their best to stall the doge squad.

      Just because Trump hasn’t been removed one way or another from office doesn’t mean that people are doing nothing.

    Her and Bernie just had the largest political rally in Idaho since 08 Obama…

    The people don’t want trump

    But the people don’t want a shitbird neoliberals either.

    For the vast amount of Dem voters, there’s gonna be at least a 20 year gap between them being able to vote for something rather than just to stop a Republican.

    Luckily we finally kicked the “moderates” out of DNC leadership for this first time since Jimmy Carter, longer than most of us have been alive they’ve had control to the detriment of America.

    The reason mainstream media is finally ok with criticizing Dems. Is the neoliberals aren’t in control anymore. So now the billionaires want Dem voters to fight the DNC.

    Because billionaires no longer control the DNC

    She’s not wrong. But she should be careful. She has a Hispanic-sounding name and brown skin. Key demographic to get deported (without trial) to a concentration camp ala’ trump.

    EDIT: I didn’t mean “be careful” as in “don’t say these things,” I agree with you all-she should DEFINITELY say these things. I mean “be careful” as in “don’t walk to your car unattended, answer the door without checking, talk to police, or take any meetings with someone you don’t know.” - that sort of careful.

      I don’t think she should be careful. If anything, being as loud as possible and staying in the public eye is what all Democrats should be doing. Because if they do start deporting people that actually speak the truth everyone will know when and how it happens. You can’t hide it and they can’t effectively make a move against her that won’t be seen by the entire world. And I think it’s a sign that we all need to start doing this. If we’re loud and seen instead of raging behind our phone screens it’s a lot harder for people to just disappear.

        Exactly. We are in this mess because the Democrats and the media immediately declared an obviously rigged election to be “fair & square” the moment it was over. Being smug about the “peaceful transfer of power” was more important to those weak cowards than protecting America from being destroyed by vicious Nazi traitors.

          What’s your evidence it wasn’t fair and square? I mean actual sources, not the previously generalized high-level accusations like “they faked the vote count”. I’d be very interested to see them.

          Oh yeah, definitely. I just want her to be safe but also not back down even a little bit. She’s making waves and needs to continue to do so.

      She’s literally part of the organizations that should be taking action. It’s not supposed to be our job. Senators and representatives are the ones paid to be the checks and balances. The bar has been set so low now that someone in the government saying what is going on is wrong is seen as a win. The bar is buried underground at this point.

        Too much buck pushing in the good ol USA. It is, in fact, our civic duty to be active citizens that hold our elected representatives accountable. Our continual evasion of this responsibility is a large part of what landed us here.

        It wouldn’t surprise me to learn that a large portion of the “not our job” folks were the same ones wholly blaming the Russian people for not hanging Putin in the town square.

        We’ve lost all sense of duty and honor in favor of the almighty dollar in this country. Yes, our representatives should be holding Trump accountable, but we the people voted his tired, rapist ass back into office.

    are they going to impeach and remove him!!!

    he’s literally violating court orders from unanimous supreme court orders.

    if they don’t impeach, remove, and jail him (I’d rather he be sent to CECOT) they are all complicit.
