        “You see we need to keep the Gastapo, parliament passed it so why stop it?”

        I understand Harris can’t write bills as president, you dingus. A president has sway over their party. What Biden wanted, Dems pushed. What Trump wants, Republicans demand.

        If Harris, a brown woman said “Hey ICE is a racist police organization made post-9/11 to go after brown people, let’s push to get rid of it” that would spark movement in Congress.

          Then why the fuck are you confused about my answer? Sounds like you are disappointed by the fact that Harris was not all of congress as well?

            Gotta make sure everyone knows that voting is pointless and that all the marginalized groups would’ve died even if Harris won. That way no one who refused to vote on such lofty principles as ‘it takes too much energy to vote, and it doesn’t change anything anyway’ doesn’t have to feel bad.
