Trump just suggested his SA equivalent (Bikers for Trump) and other groups should start a civil war if action is taken against him.
Perfectly normal. It's perfectly normal to stay a registered Republican even after it became the party of Trump. After all, Republicans are just following orders.

Hillary was right!
Smollett made multiple false statements to different types of authorities, regarding a physical attack. Though I'd have no problem with throwing Wohl in jail and giving him the maximum sentence.
I don't think it's a "supposed" misstatement by Hillary Clinton. From what I've read, and from the Washington Post fact-check, there's no question about whether she was objectively wrong on several counts.
Before I address any other points, we should get this matter of unambiguous fact settled. There's no point in any discussion in which objective facts are in dispute. It's one thing to argue about the significance of crime statistics in Chicago; it's another to argue about whether Chicago is in Illinois.
You're not answering the questions. Have Democrats expressed any opinion on a limiting principle on legal immigration (an upper limit on the number of immigrants who should be allowed in)? If not, what should we infer from the silence, and why should we infer that?
I'm not deflecting from voter suppression, since this chain of posts started with the suggestion that my comments on the topic of legal immigration were so outrageous as to merit bringing up again weeks later.
The biggest shock may be that they couldn't find a legal way to get their kids into USC.

Because the questions are irrelevant to the facts: namely that the Democrats have a solid record of negative immigration and have not proposed open border policies.
Conversely, the Republican record on immigration involves racist border wall proposals based on lies and separating mothers from children with no plans for reunification.

Facts (including citations):
The Trump administration family separation policy is an aspect of U.S. President Donald Trump's immigration policy. The policy was presented to the public as a "zero tolerance" approach intended to deter illegal immigration and to encourage tougher legislation.[1][2][3][4] It was adopted across the whole U.S.–Mexico border from April 2018 until June 2018,[5][6][7] however later investigations found that the practice of family separations had begun a year previous to the public announcement.[8] Under the policy, federal authorities separated children from parents or guardians with whom they had entered the US.[6][9][10] The adults were prosecuted and held in federal jails, and the children placed under the supervision of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.[6]
By early June 2018, it emerged that the policy did not include measures to reunite the families that it had separated.[11][12] Following national and international criticism,[13][14][15][16][17][18] on June 20, 2018, President Trump signed an executive order ending family separations at the border.[7] However in March 2019, a government report showed that since that time 245 children had been removed from their families, in some cases without clear documentation undertaken to track them in order to reunite them with their parents.[19]
On July 26, 2018, the Trump administration said that 1,442 children had been reunited with their parents while 711 remained in government shelters.[20] However, in January 2019 the administration acknowledged that thousands of children affected by the policy remained separated from their families, with officials uncertain of the exact number.[21][22]

I'll wait and see what each candidate has to say in the primaries before judging.
------
"Beto won 3 House races and spent 6 years in Congress. He has a longer political resume than Obama did in 2007."
"This one seems to be a viable threat to Bernie. Other candidates didn't seem to be pulling from the Bernie supporter pool, and other candidates didn't have the online presence or appeal to young people Bernie does.
Beto has both those things. Bernie supporters have been dreading this day for a while.
It's a year out, at least 3 quarters of the candidates in the dem primary will drop out before Iowa. It's too early to freak out. But any threat to Bernie must be met with immediate and vicious attack on Reddit.
It's exactly what Bernie has asked his supporters to NOT do."

Whoa, what????? Link please
Never mind, just found it. The thing is no one bats an eye these days when he goes full on Hitler with this kind of talk. I hope the police and military officials across the country issue a statement that they are not Trump's personal hired goons.

I already have their track records. If they something wildly different while campaigning it would be a major red flag.
As to your reddit post, it’s a pretty bad take. Bernie owns the youth vote and some aww shucks moderate from Texas won’t sway that imo. Also Beto has somewhat of an online presence but he doesn’t have the name recognition Bernie does. He’ll struggle to separate from the Warren’s and Harris’ of the world let alone the current most popular politician in the country.
That post was a major reach and based off the poster complaining about Bernie supporters it’s kind of hard to think it’s not a lot of wishful thinking
I hope you apply that to Sanders with regards to his civil rights record, especially considering the fact that Beto is getting promoted by Oprah, Ellen, and now Gayle King.
Point being, you can vote for whomever you want to, but there are a lot of issues that matter to other Americans that you might not be considering with regards to overall support. What you see in Sanders, not everyone is going to care about.
Regardless, the more you bash Beto, the more it shows you see him as a real threat -- I doubt that will stop you but it does confirm what people are saying about Sanders supporters, especially with regards to Kamala and Beto.
