this is some abhorrent victim blaming bullshit here, yes the democrats could and should be better on immigration, but it's entirely and only the fault of the people spreading racist lies about Springfield who are to blame here, no matter how overwhelming your fetish to blame democrats for everything is.

So the *Democrats* are the victims in this situation? Not, you know, the working-class and poor immigrants living in fear of pogroms?

I believe in blaming racists for being racists and not giving them cover. if you feel otherwise and want to take a more nuanced view on racists, that's entirely your prerogative.

The problem is you canтАЩt actually challenge anything thatтАЩs been said with facts or logic or political analysis so you have to pretend the essay is unfairly targeting Dems/letting Trump and Vance off the hook but itтАЩs not so you reach for this bizzare bs like тАЬvictim blamingтАЭ

there's not much to argue when somebody wants to try to play 4D chess and claim that the real issue with trump and vance being unrepentant racists is the democrats. I'm not stupid enough to try and pretend that the democrats are some perfect political party (I've been yelling about the obvious illegality / moral horror that drone strikes are for more than16 years now), but I'm also not stupid enough to "well actually" a bunch of racists being racists.

Democrats are not victims here. They are cowards. This is how we got Kathy Hochul as governor of New York. I would think that Harris praising immigration as an engine of economic growth would be a winning move. But apparently that's something she isn't willing to say. How did we end up with the world's largest GDP?
