Not wasting my time trying to "parse" statements from Democrats at this point. Only one question needs to be asked this November, and that is:

Will electing this person help the Democrats take back the House or Senate?

If the answer is, "Yes"

Pull the "effing" lever.

We have a criminal enterprise in the White House that would make Al Capone blush, a Retrumplican Party that is up to it's neck in Russian money, collusion, white supremacy, racism, hatred and authoritarianism...much more important, obviously, that we concern ourselves with a tweet from a first time Dem candidate in a safe blue seat.

I swear, we make it so fucking easy for Putin

ICE didn't even exist until 2003. Deportation did. Cal Carpenter Aug 2018 #56

Whyy do her supporters have to explain so many of her statements? Wwcd Aug 2018 #57

TBH, I'm not even a supporter Cal Carpenter Aug 2018 #58

Haaahaaa.. ok. Those 'detractors' include everyone who has to stand & wait for an explaination, & Wwcd Aug 2018 #59

No explanation is needed except for those who are being disingenuous to attack the Dem candidate. nt Humanist_Activist Aug 2018 #69

I'm not a huge fan of hers qazplm135 Aug 2018 #82

What is her sin here? Tweets by nature WhiteTara Aug 2018 #86

ICE was created in 2003. Deportation existed prior to 2003. George II Aug 2018 #66

Right. H2O Man Aug 2018 #68

It sounds as if she is OK with continuing general deportation policies, lapucelle Aug 2018 #80

She was replying to a specific challenge about the deportation of an actual Nazi muriel_volestrangler Aug 2018 #88

How does that context change an interpretation that lapucelle Aug 2018 #89

because deporting a Nazi over war crimes is not "general deportation policies" muriel_volestrangler Aug 2018 #95

The federal statute lists such cases as within "GENERAL CLASSES OF DEPORTABLE ALIENS". lapucelle Aug 2018 #97

Do you understand what "within" means? That's it's different from "is identical to"? (nt) muriel_volestrangler Aug 2018 #98

Wait...what? What are you talking about? lapucelle Aug 2018 #99

"within" comes from your own reply title #97. I don't think you understand how to use it muriel_volestrangler Aug 2018 #100

So your is your argument that AOC is not OK with the general classes of deportable aliens lapucelle Aug 2018 #101

I'm saying it's wrong to generalise from "deporting a Nazi is OK" or muriel_volestrangler Aug 2018 #102

So your argument is that AOC is not or may not be lapucelle Aug 2018 #103

She may or may not be, and you can't decide from her tweet. muriel_volestrangler Aug 2018 #104

I don't use Wiki articles as a reference for logic and rhetoric; lapucelle Aug 2018 #107

Your original quibble concerned the word "within" lapucelle Aug 2018 #109

Just dialing it back. joshcryer Aug 2018 #4

It's a losing issue. If you're explaining, you're losing. NurseJackie Aug 2018 #8

Get the spin out there for Name Recognition & others will explain what was actually said Wwcd Aug 2018 #11

exactly heaven05 Aug 2018 #14

Are you asserting that anyone who crosses the border should be allowed to stay? brooklynite Aug 2018 #10

No heaven05 Aug 2018 #13

+ a million.. Smack dab Spot on. Wwcd Aug 2018 #30

The criticism seems to be that AOC clarified that removing ICE didn't mean ending deportation... brooklynite Aug 2018 #40

If they're doing so legally hell yes they deserve to stay !!! uponit7771 Aug 2018 #38

ICE is relativity new. demmiblue Aug 2018 #12

ICE was formed in 2003. We've been deporting people like war criminals long before that. Kaleva Aug 2018 #16

"It does not mean abolish deportation." gratuitous Aug 2018 #17

Well, I hope heaven05 Aug 2018 #21

It's simple, plain English gratuitous Aug 2018 #24

Your OP makes it look like you are pushing RW talking points then. Kaleva Aug 2018 #33

It means there are some people that will still be deported even without ICE Downtown Hound Aug 2018 #22

Simple for sure. heaven05 Aug 2018 #26

Fine. Downtown Hound Aug 2018 #46

I guess she could have clarified further "...deportation (of actual criminals)". flibbitygiblets Aug 2018 #27

Someone said both-sideism heaven05 Aug 2018 #44

Why are you desperately looking for a way to attack a Democratic candidate? muriel_volestrangler Aug 2018 #61

I honestly don't understand what you are asking. HopeAgain Aug 2018 #29

"Can one of her suporters tell me,"???? As a Dem nominee, we ALL support her. Kaleva Aug 2018 #35

good heaven05 Aug 2018 #41

As the TOS is clear that we support all Dem candiates, and AOC is one, it makes no sense... Kaleva Aug 2018 #48

Maybe you shouldn't have indicated that you are not one of her supporters? Demit Aug 2018 #50

That's fine, but why start a thread attempting to misconstrue what she means? FSogol Aug 2018 #54

Does she even realize it's CPB and not ICE that is separating families? Lee-Lee Aug 2018 #39

Depends. CPB operates within a 100 miles of the border. Kaleva Aug 2018 #45

The Consumer Protection Bureau is separating families? Jake Stern Aug 2018 #60

I would suggest she would use a different argument than "abolish deportations". haele Aug 2018 #47

"One of her supporters" She is the Democratic candidate. vi5 Aug 2018 #52

Indeed...as the Democratic candidate, we should ALL be supporters pecosbob Aug 2018 #74

In context, because heaven05 hid that from everyone on DU: muriel_volestrangler Aug 2018 #62

Interesting. AOC seems to be threatening to some on here. I wonder why? jalan48 Aug 2018 #64

Interesting how that was left out. Gives clear insight to an agenda. Autumn Aug 2018 #70
