Nah. Dead that. The nuance is in y'all putting effort into learning about ICE.

I mean my god, we quite literally have concentration camps set up and people still need more hand holding? :wtf:
I'm simply speaking from a political angle though which I admit is a moraless one. Do you disagree that most people are not educated enough to know that ICE is a new entity and is not the end all be all to immigration enforcement? I willing to bet most are not. Should they be informed and educated? Yep but you always have to work around the fact in politics most people need their information fed to them.

Most people like I said at the moment view ICE as being the face of immigration enforcement. Even the issues you mentioned, most people when they have that connection of ICE being a vital immigration enforcement agency they will say that is wrong but immigration enforcement is still needed. They don't have the connection that you can have immigration enforcement without ICE.

I think the problem is that the slogan doesn't include this nuance.

The issue is that at the moment, most people are unaware of the history. At this point ICE is thought in I bet you 90% of the population's mind as being synonmous with immigration enforcement. When people hear Abandon ICE they hear Abandon immigration enforcement.

More needs to be done to get the nuance of the slogan out there but the slogan is all most people are hearing which I would like to see the stats on as far as support .
These voters need to get smarter I realize dems are bad at messaging but damn.

I don't disagree with this one bit and I have disdain of a lazy minded populace as the next dude. But has politics ever been about anything besides trying to win over people with what appeals to them at the most base level which usually means assuming most voters aren't going to educate themselves the most and the onus has always been on a campaign to effectively communicate their ideas to win people over?

All I'm saying is that I don't think enough has been done to get people to understand that ICE is a bush era organization and that by abandoning ICE doesn't meant you're abandoning immigration enforcement. Abandon ICE is the cart and the above information is the horse. People are seeing the cart first. :yeshrug:

This is admittedly my anecdotal observation. The messaging is all I'm criticizing. Not the idea.

Yeah I understand what you mean im really just frustrated with the voters not aiming anything at you honestly. For examples voters voting for progressive ballot initiatives but voting for the conservative governor wtf is that about.

we’ll why would he

that would be caring about other people

:umad: Nah you keep you keep pushing this narrative

Every time you mention ICE you talk about how the abolish ICE stance is stupid:

but do we see you talking about the rapes :jbhmm:
You talking about the children in concentration camps? :patrice:
You talking about the murders at the hands of CBP or ICE agents? :mjpls:

You talking about the people dying of preventable causes in jail? :lupe:

You talking about the American citizens that are being detained because ICE doesn't believe they're citizens and doesn't trust their proof of documentation? :childplease:

Nah. :camby:

Ultimately, the problem with ICE is that it does not serve it's true purpose.
it's fukk ICE, but not ONE POSTER has explained why this is a good thing for dems to campaign on and who it's swaying that was undecided. this is embarrassing

coli strategists right.

democrats should definitely support ice so even less brown people show up to vote for them than already do. :mjgrin:
not calling for the abolishing of ice isn't the same as voicing support for them. you can be against their concentration camps while seeing the need for immigration enforcement.

and the brown people who vote ain't supporting them like they should anyway so why alienate voters in hopes of courting people who will abandon you in short order.
