(7,540 posts)Abolish ICE should be 100% the goal and starting position of any Democratic legislation or negotiation. This idea that somebody might disagree on getting a murderous, unaccountable agency off the streets, and that refusing to accept that disagreement is "purity policing" or "unrealistic" is grade A bullshit.
Get the fascist thugs off the damn street and abolish the auspices under which they are operating. There is no margin for disagreement on that, period, full fucking stop. How you get there, obviously, adults will disagree on, but pretending that we can disagree on Abolish ICE is a fucking deflection masquerading as seriousness and maturity. It is, in fact, the childish position. Abolish ICE. Antifascism is non-negotiable. Abolish ICE. I am not voting for anyone who is not starting from that basic position.
