Here's an idea, to start, maybe not full on Abolish ICE...
Posted by KingTalkyTiki ...and maybe in the interim, ICE could focus its efforts, I don't know, where the lion share of the undocumented immigrants are, and not as retribution in blue states and in courtrooms where documented immigrants are trying to stay here the right way.

Ok, this seems very "vibe-y", and focused on the young guy's perception of the Democrats
Posted by IlliniRunner Like they've got this perception of what it means "to be a man", and in my view, it's a not particularly healthy one, focused on this crap like "Red Pill Fitness" and solipsistic selfish views of masculinity and "self improvement", vs one that is focused on service to the community and others, and empathy, and caring for others.

I was hoping you'd say exactly that
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes

Listen, I understand what you're saying. I really do. I'm not scolding here
