Fucking bring an army with you next time. You have constituents that will fight with you, use them. ICE cannot stop hundreds of people from storming these facilities if they are operating outside the law (which they absolutely are).

Can't set a precedent of popular occupation... Dems would rather lose elections than give an inch to anybody who wants to see leadership held accountable

These 2 Democratic Party reps are literally trying to hold leadership accountable, fuck off with more of your both sides shit.

I can believe those reps are earnest but not that their hands are not tied by their bigger party when it comes to real change.

This part is a personal observation but party strategists love embracing activist movements to mold it to their own “safe” ideals. Makes them look good and controls results.

"these two reps" is not the party. The party is a corporate entity. The party is fine with it.

"The party" is not trying to gain access to the building.

These two reps are.

Trump sets the tone as a traitor by announcing that anything he does will just keep happening until someone stops him. All the idiots who work for him simply follow that mandate.
