Warren's alright I guess. As for Harris, other than this ICE thing, her Jussie Smollet "lynching" quote, and her claim to have been listening to Tupac and Snoop in college, despite their debut albums coming out after she graduated, she's not bad. Hey, she's for legalizing weed. That carries weight with me. But I don't think either will win the nomination.Yeah, I actually see far more similarities between ICE and the SS myself. But I have no problems with how she phrased that question.Warren is a really inspiring speaker, and truly enthusiastic. I think if she got a real shot (i.e. Bernie-like attention) she could actually manage to really energize people.Frankly, I feel like Americans just don't feel confident enough that a woman can win this one, in the sense that they don't want to take the chance of a female nominee, given the stakes.
And I think you're right that people aren't feeling confident in a woman right now. Hillary had a lot of baggage, but also a lot of resources. If she couldn't win, Harris, Warren, or Gillilbrand would have lot of trouble.Well nobody is my candidate (and please don't twist my words that way. Thank you). I can't vote for any of them. But that is a real perception held by many. She wasn't lying. Her saying that doesn't exclude her from thinking that at all. I really think you're making a mountain out of mole hill on that one.Yes, you sure did summarize the rampant sexism being exposed by this campaign run-up well. Those who deny that is a major factor (among others) are lying to themselves.

Just to be clear, you are saying that any enforcement action on people here illegally is akin to the SS actions. Is that correct?0

It's my understanding (and I could be wrong) that ICE "rounds up" illegal immigrants for deportation. The SS on the other hand rounded up innocent Jews (and others) for mass genocide. I don't see your comparison.

Do you have any links to articles about ICE terrorizing legal immigrants? Not that I believe you, but I'd be interested to read them.

I'm waiting for the images of ICE hauling people away in cattle cars to concentration camps, as well as ICE mowing them down in the streets, you know just because...Give Peas A Chance…0

Yes you were asked directly to address it. But there were a lot of posts.
Im surprised you doubled down on your statement. I think it’s a completely ridiculous comparison. Not even the same ballpark.

Does anyone remember the NRA's comparisons? Probably not. AOC is not the first and likely, not the last.LaPierre's use of the phrase “jack-booted government thugs” was his metaphorical way of equating BATF officials with Nazis.

Correct me if I am wrong but one of the biggest differences between the two is the SS rounded up and killed citizens that did nothing wrong but ICE is rounding up and deporting illegal citizens.I'll ride the wave where it takes me......0

I think if she got a real shot (i.e. Bernie-like attention) she could actually manage to really energize people.Frankly, I feel like Americans just don't feel confident enough that a woman can win this one, in the sense that they don't want to take the chance of a female nominee, given the stakes.
And I think you're right that people aren't feeling confident in a woman right now. Hillary had a lot of baggage, but also a lot of resources. If she couldn't win, Harris, Warren, or Gillilbrand would have lot of trouble.Well nobody is my candidate (and please don't twist my words that way. Thank you). I can't vote for any of them. But that is a real perception held by many. She wasn't lying. Her saying that doesn't exclude her from thinking that at all. I really think you're making a mountain out of mole hill on that one.Yes, you sure did summarize the rampant sexism being exposed by this campaign run-up well. Those who deny that is a major factor (among others) are lying to themselves.
Do you have any links to articles about ICE terrorizing legal immigrants? Not that I believe you, but I'd be interested to read them.Here are some articles that might make the parallel I draw more clear to you:
Look I get what you're trying to say and I do understand the difference between drawing parallels and suggesting two things are the same. But I think this sort of hyperbole and rhetoric just goes too far. Not "too far" as in I'm offended by it. I could care less. But I think voters are turned off by that sort of left-wing hysteric talk: ICE are like Nazis, the police are racist against blacks, white men are evil, etc.

So is Elizabeth Warren. No barking at all from those two. Why is everyone paying so much attention to Bernie when these two women are so much more appealing?
Warren's alright I guess. As for Harris, other than this ICE thing, her Jussie Smollet "lynching" quote, and her claim to have been listening to Tupac and Snoop in college, despite their debut albums coming out after she graduated, she's not bad. Hey, she's for legalizing weed. That carries weight with me. But I don't think either will win the nomination.Yeah, I actually see far more similarities between ICE and the SS myself. But I have no problems with how she phrased that question.Warren is a really inspiring speaker, and truly enthusiastic.

Read the articles I posted.And I never said there aren't differences between ICE and the SS, obviously. I actually said the exact opposite of that, over and over.Post edited by PJ_Soul onWith all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful.
