Thing is, plenty of Ds say they are tough on illegal immigration’s. So just add to the border specific thing and add companies that use illegal immigrants. Who are not just coming from the south, but are being imported via human trafficking- which is another thing Rs pretend they care about. If their companies are working the trafficked humans….
It should bother people that we jail and deport people but the companies that work them (provide reasons to cross the border) don’t seem to have any consequence to their actions. They should be held to account for their actions.
I think this is why Tim walz was such a good pick. A Milwaukee paper had a column about him this week and how we needed a dem voice that was not from the coasts. He talks in a way that relates to people and he’s gotten crap DONE because he had a small window in MN.
I am not suggesting the Dems moderate their stance - but he can get through to the crowds that don’t fall completely into maga. People like that are winnable here (rather than focusing on the children tantruming in Michigan)
Yeah...it doesn't. It didn't back when I was in college and people talked about it and it doesn't now. Most people could give two craps about the border or immigrants having jobs...especially people center or left. It only ever becomes a big deal during elections.
You have a strange naivete about this election that is why I asked if you are in the US because honestly that would make a lot of sense.
Republican push poller American Pulse went to Trump University.
Trump 51%
Harris 50%
So you are ok with punishing the immigrant but not the companies who give them jobs? Makes no sense.
People do care about immigration, or it would not be an issues that Ds also talk about. And illegal immigration has multiple layers, one of which is a job market that is very much there to take. Or people would not bother coming to send money home.
Let alone we never talk about sending some kind of help to the countries people are fleeing from. Labor is cheap there, too. Maybe help companies set up shop there- the path to import goods from Central America is pretty robust already.
But, hey, ignore all of those ads that talk tough on the border as nobody cares, that’s fine.
But, of course, we don't live in that world. We live in a world where getting an id, getting a drivers license, getting some sort of proof that you are who you say you are, is just too darn hard.
James Carville said on our pod that a sleeper demographic to watch in this race is college educated white men who don't like what Dobbs means for their daughters and other female loved ones.
Well, the new Marist poll finds Harris leading among them 59-39
Saw a report of some interview a Dumpy surrogate gave in a podcast. Basically saying, Trump voters don't care how racist he is, how unintelligible he is, how his policies will end up hurting them in the end. All they care about is by voting for Trump, they gave a big middle finger to the rest of America, and that wasn't enough for them, so they're gonna give a big middle finger again.
Like Drew with his trolling, they just get off listening to everyone complain how bad Trump is, how much they hate him. Pizzing off the libs is all they want to do, that's what they get off on. They probably really would vote for Hitler if he was running, just cause it would pizza off the libturds.
They are full of hate and resentment. I’ve not met a trump voter that wasn’t brimming with rage - whether it’s gays, blacks, or women- it’s just hate.
MIx in a large dose of fear. They are afraid of change and of the creatures outside the light of the fire.
Right here.Yeah women are doing ok this time, but goddamn white men without college are just lost
I love going after dads who don’t want their daughter dead from pregnancy, whether she’s 9 or 39
