Summary
Asian American groups are preparing for potential deportations of undocumented Chinese nationals, particularly military-age men, under Trump’s proposed immigration policies.
Sources indicate Chinese nationals may be prioritized due to alleged national security concerns, reflecting broader anti-China sentiment.
Community organizations are creating multilingual resources, coordinating legal support, and educating families on their rights.
Trump’s rhetoric ties Chinese immigrants to fears of espionage, intensifying anxieties.
Advocates highlight the historical targeting of minority groups during national security crises and warn of significant impacts on vulnerable communities, urging solidarity and swift action.
Once again. This is because less people voted democratic. Same number over a smaller total is a larger percentage.
Seeing 10M less Democrats vote when the Republican numbers were about the same was the biggest gut check I had. People would rather just not vote, than vote for a half black woman. That was really sad. And don’t anyone dare tell me it was about Gaza, that’s just a load of BS.
Kamala Harris did not lose because she’s not a white man and perpetuating that myth is not helping.
She lost because she didn’t speak to the working class.
She didn’t lay out any plans nor promise any relief to the millions of people struggling.
She said she wouldn’t do anything different than Biden with Palestine.
She parading around a Republican and tried to draw in the non-existent middle voter.
She promised more of the same when “the same” already wasn’t good enough.
Was she the better choice? Absolutely. Did she lose because she’s not a white man? FUCK NO and parroting that bullshit excuse is just distracting from the issues that actually need fixing.
She also lost because she’s not a man. And she also lost because she’s not white. You’re deluding yourself if you don’t think race and gender had an influence in the election.
If being a woman’s all it takes not to vote for her then how come she lost Michigan which has a woman governor?
This is the political version of saying “if global warming is real, then how come it snowed on Christmas?”
I hope one day when you grow up you realize how stupid you sound.
Oh, let’s see… maybe because there’s a vast gulf in the perceived power and responsibility between a governor and a president?
So they really hate women, but it’s okay if it just controls their state instead of their Nation? That’s what you’re going with? An irrational burning hatred of women that matters more than than anything else as a voter yet they grudgingly say well I guess it’s okay if it’s just controlling the millions of people who live in my state. As long as it’s only affecting me personally and not the nation at large I’ll overlook my burning prejudice just this once. That’s what you think is in the mind of those voters? Fascinating.
Who said they had a “burning hatred” of women? Most of the men in the focus groups who said that they wouldn’t vote for a woman wasn’t because they hate women but said things like, women were “too emotional”, would not be able to handle dealing with adversarial foreign leaders, or that it’s “just not appropriate” for a woman to hold the office of POTUS. Oh, and even some women also said that.
Well she did actually, it was all on her website which has sadly been updated or I would show you.
You can still see her Politifact campaign promises page tho LINK
and this is in addition to the fact that the Biden Administration already blocked the Krogers Albertson Merger and had the FTC and DOJ investigate prices and firms across the USA. LINK
She also promised to bring back Child Tax Credits and a new $6,000 child tax credit and also to forgive even more student debts.
If there was any issue with Message it was that the people who bought Washington Post and Twitter weren’t sharing their message.
Yup, uninformed voters are a blight. All the information for BOTH SIDES was out there and available.
She shouldn’t even be relevant. The other guy is literally a “ok, who else is there to vote for because this guy is the worst option” candidate.
I voted for her because I’m not an idiot but yeah…it was sadly an awful campaign.
In five elections, Democrats voted in the same numbers for 4 of the 5 candidates and WAY higher for the 5th. I’ll let you figure out the common theme among the first 4 candidates.
As far as your points:
Yes she did.
Neither did Trump.
Trump said he’d do more.
So did Trump.
This is fair.
Circling back: if the difference isn’t that much between her and Biden (per your argument), why did he get SO MANY MORE votes? 69M, 65M, 65M, 81M, 69M. Only one of those 5 numbers is votes for the white man.
Again I feel the need to preface this: I thought she was a decent pick. I was so confident I even told a friend I thought it’d be 60/40 in her favor months ago. I am NOT saying she sucks - I’m saying her campaign sucked. I’m also not saying that 0 people refused to vote for a woman - I’m saying it’s not why she lost. Anyway,
–
Let’s be real - we voted Biden in 2020 not because we thought he was the best person for the job but because we believed he could beat Trump… Which he barely did. And then he went on to have a pretty good run and got a lot done! Anyone who paid attention could see that the progress was slow but there was still progress happening.
But his team sucked at communicating. They quietly did their thing and barely promoted it. Maybe because even if they did…the news would focus on something more controversial instead. Either way, most people had no idea…and many of those that did didn’t feel like it was enough.
The fact that we’re having this conversation tells me that we’re both at least somewhat knowledgeable on politics so of course we knew about the good work he was doing…of course we know the policies Harris/Walz wanted…but did the layman know that? Nope.
So this election rolls around and people see Biden 2.0, why would they want that again when they’re been struggling for the past 4 years? Why weren’t they getting addressed then? Non-voters didn’t feel heard. Hell, I didn’t feel heard. Grocery gouging is old news and the fix feels like a consolation prize at this point.
By far the biggest failing is that their “leftwing” campaign chose to reach right. It garnered a few voters and alienated a LOT more.
I.e. people that could have prevented this but decided they’d rather have their faces eaten.
Yeah, I wonder why undocumented immigrants didn’t vote for Kamala…
Yeah thats fair.
