I didn’t say “illegal immigration” I said being “anti-immigration”. Not sure why you’re mentioning Bernie—think that’s more a comment on your politics than mine. But to be explicit: The current administration’s deportation push is racist. T

I don't get the sarcasm here.. Instead of sniping with snark (see HN rules, please) post your better take.

I don't think that's all we (assuming you're USA) had to do or need to do going forward. Voting is "necessary but not sufficient" as the quote goes.

I think a major part is about what’s happening in Cuba. Venezuela used to supply Cuba with cheap oil. That’s stopped and Trump has threatened any countries who send oil with tariffs (of course!). Rubio’s personal quest is to take down the C

You don’t think a progressive takeover (a lefty Tea Party, if you will) of the Dems is more likely? I hope progressives can keep up momentum. I worry that if things go back to normal a lot of people who are doing fine (economically) will go
