They didn't used to be this way, for some reason under Biden they went super anti-immigration

"For some reason."

What a load of shit. What time period are you referring to when you believed Democrats were pro-immigrant? Let’s factcheck that shit.

Even Obama deported way more people than Trump, built the immigrant cages, and vastly expanded ICE. Clinton was equally anti-immigrant.

Because when migrants did land on their doorsteps they went, "oh fucking hell no" and DNC knew the jig was up. If they had any semblance of control in the places they are elected they would have easily handled a bus or plane load of migrants. Except the fact they don't weild any power, only channel it for corporate interests, they don't have the tools to fight off attacks like these.

"No way to prevent this, say the Democrats who are actively collaborating with the fascists"

Between the House and the Senate, there are currently 258 Democrats in Congress.

And 224 of them are fascist collaborators.

Only?

I know we talk a lot of shit about Dems but I'm genuinely shocked that many signed off.

The dnc is controlled opposition. We have to get actual progressives elected at local levels and it’ll be a fucking process but it’ll eventually make the party actual opposition

You'll have to throw Chuck Schumer into a retirement home (or a volcano) first.
