13. It will matter to the entire country watching what ICE is doing

At least it will show some strength and unity. Remember the Dems lack of a cohesive message regarding Palestine before the 2024 election? A very emotional issue deeply important to some. I realize that was a very tough needle to thread, but basically ignoring it in the hope it wouldn’t be enough to swing an election was a huge misstep.

I could be wrong but this issue “feels” very similar in the visceral reaction so many are having. It’s about human life, and we see visuals every day of atrocities, including a murder. I think the Dems need to come up with a cohesive message, not just “it would pass anyway”
