"I don't actually know" do you really believe that Biden and Senate Dems doing this stupidity in early 2023 is in no way related to how donald trump and Republicans have beaten the shit out of them politically

Oh I have no doubt that the Dem politicians being feckless in general has contributed to that, but that in no way is the conversation at hand about Trump’s fascism in taking over American cities with military occupation one by one or absolving the American voters of not voting for straight evil
2/ Also in 2024 “Dem idiocy in regards to supervising DC” didn’t even rate in the top 1000 reasons why American voters voted for Trump
so why did Biden and Democrats engage in the idiocy, then? (it's because they are obsessed with adopting the right wing position on any which issue and then screaming at voters about it, begging them to believe that they agree with Republicans on everything)
that's how the idiocy from Dems and Biden on the DC Criminal code is related to what happened in 2024; Democrats adopted the entire stephen miller white nationalist anti immigrant playbook in 2024; they screamed at voters repeatedly about immigrants damning us to hell
what this did is validate the entire trump and miller premise from back in 2015; and radicalized the Electorate and massively raised the salience of the far right coded elements of immigration
1/ 1) Trump / Miller hardly need any sort of fumbling Dem validation on immigration, they have been handily kicking the left’s ass on the immigration issue with US voters for years. Don’t sacrifice protecting immigrants but the approach has to change-50% of Latino males voted for Alligator Alcatraz
2/ 2) you’re asking to draw a line between DC sovereignty issues and the 2024 election results and there is none. Not a single 2024 voter voted because of DC sovereignty. Navel gazing about past Dem actions on this issue is not going to help win 2026 or 2028.
