They are saying because Kamala did not want mass ICE deportations that we wouldn’t be having mass ICE deportations in LA.
Even if you believe Kamala and Trump share the beliefs/end goals/policies whatever, there is at least one distinction and that is she did not want mass ICE immigration. Therefore, she is LESS harmful.
I agree that the liberals love manufacturing consent, I agree that Kamala and the Biden administration would still be using ICE deportations like they were under Obama, and I mostly agree the democrats don’t care about their voters and are bad people who want to maintain the status quo.
That being said I still think there is a material difference. Besides Trumps deportation and ICE policies, if literally every other policy decision between Kalama and Trump is the exact same I think there is still a material difference. The difference being Trump is using ICE more aggressively, capturing more people, and being more harmful. He has either stopped or severely limited the number of immigrants in the US. Trump is also using no badge and masked ICE to grab people off the streets. I do not believe Kamala would have done this and that is the material difference I see. Now if you wanted to argue that the small difference doesn’t matter, or that having a passive system is worse because it keeps more liberals ignorant longer and perpetuates the system longer thats a different discussion. (Not trying to put arguments in your mouth I just think this would be a related, but different topic)
