More than half of Americans believe that Immigration and Customs Enforcement has gone “too far” in its pursuit of arresting migrants, according to a new poll.
While 54 percent said ICE has used its power too aggressively, the sentiment was even greater among Democrats at 83%, according to a poll by PBS News, NP and Marist.
Nearly half of Republicans, by contrast, said ICE’s actions are appropriate and an additional 31% said the agency had not gone far enough in enforcing Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda.
The vast majority of Americans (80%) support the U.S. government’s deportation of migrants without permanent legal status who have been convicted of a violent crime.
Some elected politicians with a D by their name are.
And frankly I don’t think they’ll be in office much longer.
Like, as an American who has been paying attention since the DNC defended Bill lying about getting a BJ from an intern:
This is the most optimistic I’ve been about the Dem party except for the brief window between Obama winning the 08 election, and then him saying he wouldn’t name a DNC chair.
I can go on a big rant with details on why we should be optimistic about the party and the country if you want, but if you’re ok with recycling I can link you an old comment.
It’s fucking weird to spend this much time defending the DNC, but people need to understand the chair is the DNC. And we’ve got a really fucking good chair since February, and he is already doing shit.
Do you think there will be a midterm election given all that’s happening and the speed this administration is userping power?
Yep.
And if elections are cancelled, I think enough people move on to the next of the four boxes.
Good luck! I personally have a bad feeling but I’m not American, it looks very bad from here.

Americans can do it. Bring guns!
1/3 can, 1/3 will fight them and the remaining will watch from the sidelines
Yes please
I’ve seen nothing but criticism of Ken Martin

And from your link:
There’s a lot more than a dozen DNC members who hate him…
He literally just got two super delegates from the Rules and Bylaws committee to resign…
https://www.cbsnews.com/colorado/news/dnc-union-leaders-leave/
They were literally the ones fucking with presidential primaries, and now they’re no longer part of the DNC in any capacity…
Like, if you agree that past iterations of the DNC were giant pieces of shit, how are you surprised that there’s still some DNC members from that period who are pissed they’re no longer in control?
Logically this is a good thing that some are mad at Ken and completely leaving the party.
This is what we wanted.
The issue is billionaire owned media didn’t want this, so they’re presenting it backwards.
And people are falling for it
“Longtime party insiders” whining about him is how you can tell he’s good.
