apparently at some point in the past month, AOC removed all mentions of "abolish ICE" from her website
electoralism is a dead end
@SeanAloysiusOBrien b-b-b-but how is she supposed to advance her career if she is tied to unworkable policies???????????????????
@SeanAloysiusOBrien shes such a coward about this stuff lol
@SeanAloysiusOBrien False: https://www.ocasiocortez.com/issues#womens-rights
It has been suspiciously moved under Women’s Rights, but the premise as-is is not true.
@SeanAloysiusOBrien attacking electoralism is fine and correct, just, please, attack factually; there are plenty of facts available.
pretty weird decision to change the immigration platform from this to this
the first is decidedly radical, the second is something you could get approved by the DNC
whether it's a complete removal or shuttling it off into the corner, I still think this is pretty concerning
@SeanAloysiusOBrien as I said, it is.
@SeanAloysiusOBrien @millenomi I’m a little confused. How can payroll taxes be withheld from paychecks which legally can’t exist?
@ASIC @SeanAloysiusOBrien you owe the IRS for financial activity, even if that activity is illegal.
@millenomi @SeanAloysiusOBrien The article says that undocumented immigrants are paying those taxes, that they actually are being withheld. Wouldn’t that mean the feds know where these people are? And could catch them at any time with the help of local law enforcement?
@ASIC @SeanAloysiusOBrien what do you think DACA is, for example
@ASIC @SeanAloysiusOBrien (that's precisely that. that's exactly what it is.)
@SeanAloysiusOBrien *acts surprised*
@kittenlikeasmallcat @SeanAloysiusOBrien lol no more solidarity with puerto rico instead we must annex it into the empire
@SeanAloysiusOBrien that happened when she lost her spine on palestine
removed from her immigration platform*
apparently she still has it in a corner under her women's rights platform, as opposed to the headline billing it got under immigration
