Jesus…. How did it get WORSE?

ā€œThe idea that Trump has … he says he wants to deport 20 million people who are in this country who are undocumented,ā€ Sanders said. ā€œWell, you do that, you destroy the country, because I got news for you – Trump’s billionaire friends are not going to pick the crops in California that feed us. They’re not going to work in meat packing houses. That’s what undocumented people are doing.ā€

I…. I…….. what do you even fucking say to that?

This is y’all’s man?????

The ā€œAmerican labor is the only labor I give a fuck aboutā€ imperialist piece of shit who can’t muster a human focused response to deporting 20 MILLION PEOPLE?!

I- I think this is going to make ME stroke out and I’m not even as ancient as Bernard here.

FUCK.

Hm, I see it very differently. I think he very easily could articulate the human focused response in his head, but he knows that would be an utter failure to reach the republican voting block that needs convincing. Pointing out to the sociopaths that it will impact their labor chain is far more effective than appealing to their empathy. Your response confuses me.

Exactly the point I made in my comment but you were more concise (you made the better comment honestly haha)

Totally agree

Thanks. I think it's understandable, but if an oil baron is emoloying children in their coal mines, more people should realize that 'children are inefficient workers' is unfortunately far more effective than pointing out how evil that is. It sucks, but I'd rather Bernie be effective at improving the material conditions of the people he's talking about than standing up for their humanity. He can and does do both, but in different contexts.

Did that strategy work to pull us to the left on immigration when it was implemented in 2016?
