President Donald Trump’s attempt to deport pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil marks one of Trump’s most egregious assaults on democratic liberties since taking office. Yet too many Democrats, particularly in party leadership, are responding to Trump in the most mealymouthed way possible. But this is a problem of Democrats’ own making: Their trepidation stems from their own history of repressing speech critical of Israel — and now we’re all at risk of paying the price for it.

Democrats will get nothing but grief. leftists tried to warn Democrats for decades that this is who their party is, and now that they’re in a downward spiral, they want to keep punching left at the people that told them that their party is shit. This is truly a we told you so moment.
You desired this outcome. And I hope it affects you and people you love.
Democrats refusing to listen gave us this outcome, refusing to see biden’s deficiencies and demanding a primary gave us this outcome. Accepting genocide as the ‘lesser evil’ gave us this outcome. Their selective outrage and refusing to hold their own people to the same standards they hold Republicans gave us this outcome. Refuse to accept responsibility for their failures gave us this outcome.
Was there another option?
