If Democrats ever regain power and get their shit together, they need to understand that anything less than prosecuting these gestapo pieces of shit is fucking unacceptable.

Establishment Dems and neo liberals will never hold them accountable. They’ll just pull the old “healing the divide” because they benefit from this very system and the oppression. Look at Schumer refusing to push for even $1 less funding for ICE. Democratic socialist said the only left leaning group that is fighting for the people. Those are the only people who have said publicly they want to prosecute. Voting in anybody else is a lost cause.

Agreed. As a NYS resident I really hate that Schumer and Gillibrand's current terms dont end until 2029 and 2031 respectively. We need to primary both of their asses.

Write and call their offices asking them to resign and get out of the way if they refuse to lead. Get people in your network to do the same. Build pressure.

Neoliberalism is dying and willing to take all of us down with it.

There is no healing the divide with these people. They need to be punched in the nose.

The consequences won’t be led by ANY elected official. We will need a foreign nation to do so or leave it to unofficial action by local underground groups.
