In reply to the discussion: Can one of her suporters tell me, what is this??? [View all]muriel_volestrangler
(106,470 posts)96. You seem smugly pleased with the shit your disingenous OP stirred up
No, we will continue the tell that "support shit" to you. Because:
Don't bash Democratic public figures
Do not post disrespectful nicknames, insults, or highly inflammatory attacks against any Democratic public figures. Do not post anything that could be construed as bashing, trashing, undermining, or depressing turnout for any Democratic general election candidate, and do not compare any Democratic general election candidate unfavorably to their general election opponent(s).
Why we have this rule: Our forum members support and admire a wide variety of Democratic politicians and public figures. Constructive criticism is always welcome, but our members don't expect to see Democrats viciously denigrated on this website. This rule also applies to Independents who align themselves with Democrats (eg: Bernie Sanders).
Don't peddle right-wing talking points, smears, or sources
Do not post right-wing talking points or smears. Do not post content sourced from right-wing publications, authors, or pundits. Exceptions are permitted if you provide a clear reason for doing so that is consistent with the values of this website.
Why we have this rule: News media and the Internet are already awash with conservative propagandists attacking our candidates and our values -- we're not interested in providing them with another outlet. We understand that many of our members might hold some conservative viewpoints on isolated issues, but nobody here should be parroting hateful garbage from the RNC, the NRA, or the Family Research Council. Forum members should expect that the only time they'll have to read a right-wing smear or an article from Breitbart is when someone is pointing and laughing at it.
Don't keep fighting the last Democratic presidential primary
Regardless of whether you supported a winning candidate or a losing candidate, do not prolong the agony of the last Democratic presidential primary by continuing to pick fights, place blame, tear down former primary candidates, bait former supporters, or do anything else to pour salt on old wounds.
Why we have this rule: Most of our members want this to be forward-looking, friendly community that is focused on creating a better future for our country. Continuing to rehash old fights that have already been resolved is divisive and counter-productive.

No explanation is needed except for those who are being disingenuous to attack the Dem candidate. nt

She was replying to a specific challenge about the deportation of an actual Nazi

because deporting a Nazi over war crimes is not "general deportation policies"

The federal statute lists such cases as within "GENERAL CLASSES OF DEPORTABLE ALIENS".

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

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

So your is your argument that AOC is not OK with the general classes of deportable aliens

I'm saying it's wrong to generalise from "deporting a Nazi is OK" or

Are you asserting that anyone who crosses the border should be allowed to stay?

The criticism seems to be that AOC clarified that removing ICE didn't mean ending deportation...

ICE was formed in 2003. We've been deporting people like war criminals long before that.

Gretchen Whitmer, Dem candidate for gov of Michigan, is also being attacked on the ICE issue

It means there are some people that will still be deported even without ICE

I guess she could have clarified further "...deportation (of actual criminals)".

Why are you desperately looking for a way to attack a Democratic candidate?

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