I know many young people who favor traditional laissez faire conservatism but this isn't really what the Republican party is peddling. Fewer young people believe "Family Values" should be dictated by federal, state, or local law.

Based on some of the posts I've seen on CD, the leftist teachers apparently aren't succeeding, lol.

abolish ice AND abolish borders... and its the socialist liberals pushing it...socialism wants NO BORDERS


Lenin in 1916 proclaimed:

"The aim of socialism is not only to abolish the present division of mankind into smaller states and all-national isolation, not only to bring the nations closer to each other, but also to merge them."






Abolish ICE, and Abolish the Border Too: A Socialist Perspective

The movement to abolish ICE has sparked a conversation among socialists about borders and their relation to capitalism.


Abolish ICE, and Abolish the Border Too: A Socialist Perspective




Progressive politicians like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have made “Abolish ICE” a central item on their campaign agendas, motivating high-profile Democrats like Senators Kirsten Gillibrand and Elizabeth Warren, as well as New York mayor Bill de Blasio, to follow suit. Most recently, NYC gubernatorial candidate and now self-proclaimed “democratic socialist,” Cynthia Nixon echoed the criticisms, referring to ICE as a “terrorist organization.” Given that Nixon is decidedly more of a democrat than a socialist, this bold statement is another sign that liberals are willing to not only embrace the demand to abolish ICE but to also go so far as to have open borders

equate ICE and ISIS.

Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., isn’t on the fringe of the Left. He is the second ranking member of the Democratic National Committee and he basically wears his immigration policy on his sleeve. More specifically, the No. 2 Democrat wore a T-Shirt that literally said “I don’t believe in borders.”

The solution to America’s immigration problems is open borders, under which the United States imposes no immigration restrictions at all.

And they're not, except for the recent encroachment by the radical left.

of the 330 million in our population, there are about 170 million filers


of those 170 million filers, 45% have a zero or negative tax liability (means they get everything or MORE back at the end of the year)( mostly seniors, and the working poor)


45% of 170m is 76m.. so there are actually less than 100m who actually PAY taxes


6t divided by 100m is what.......60k


so if taxes were flat (and we know they are not) that averages out to 60k per taxpayer




remember if we go to a singlepayer, your employer will NO LONGER be responsible for paying the 75% of your premium... think about that for a second, you will be responsible for the averaged FULL COST of of singlepayer, because you just took the fiscal responsibility from the companies/corporations out there............ corporations thank you, and don't think you are going to get a raise, because you saved the corporations big money (which is now on you , the individual taxpayer)
This is dishonest math, considering $4.5 trillion per year is spent on private insurance now

Uh, the vast majority who are calling for an abolishing of ICE want the INS back. And more importantly, INS was a part of the State Department, where ICE is part of Homeland Security, which most of us think should be abolished (especially the TSA)
