This is far more aggressive and rapid than anything proposed in the US so far. 281222326

Reposted by @morfca.bsky.socialgeoffrey @parsnip.bsky.social · 01/10/2026there are moral arguments against the death penalty in its ideal form but in real life you never need to get there. the prior question is "can the state be trusted to end the life only of the rightly convicted without torture?" and the answer is no 423182773
morfca.bsky.social @morfca.bsky.social · 01/10/2026yes, but also, it's quite damaging if there's sustained heavy rains. a healthy snowpack in the mountains that takes months to melt would be better. 1120
morfca.bsky.social @morfca.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Also let's be completely clear: there is no reason for Dems to ever moderate to reach people who will never vote for them. Voters who are potentially reachable by Dems want ICE abolished, so that should be the party position. 000
morfca.bsky.social @morfca.bsky.social · 01/10/2026What makes this a pro police state stance is that want to keep the structure intact while swapping out the guys you are currently mad at. The structure is what makes it a police state, the current abuses are what make it a unpopular. You want gestapo with good PR, which is my criticism of the Dems. 100
morfca.bsky.social @morfca.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Well well well, didn't take much to get you from accusing me of outright fabricating the Dem position to defending it yourself. 100
morfca.bsky.social @morfca.bsky.social · 30/09/2026abolish is a plurality overall and a supermajority among Dems 100
morfca.bsky.social @morfca.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Then why isn't abolish ice the mainstream Dem position? The same thugs with the same authority is still a police state no matter what you do to their training. They don't want to eliminate the gestapo, not clear to me they even want to gut the budget, they just want it to stop being in the news. 210
morfca.bsky.social @morfca.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Nothing about "path to citizenship" refutes a police state, nor is my police state argument a contention both sides are the same. The prevailing Dem position is best understood as "police state with better PR". They understand that to be a sustainable project it can't broadcast its worst abuses. 110
morfca.bsky.social @morfca.bsky.social · 30/09/2026How is it a lie? You can't swing a cat without hitting a "Biden deported more" story. And Harris made her stance extremely clear. Mass deportations don't happen by smiles and rainbows. 130
morfca.bsky.social @morfca.bsky.social · 30/09/2026If your argument is quibbling about which migrants are "the good ones" then you have already conceded the entirety of the argument. 020
morfca.bsky.social @morfca.bsky.social · 30/09/2026But they accepted the MAGA problem statement. You can't start from a position of "we need a police state to brutalize and oppress migrants", which Dems 100% do, and expect to run against the police state party in a referendum on police states. 220
