The truth is nobody cares about illegals, they only act like they care to oppose Trump. Its more anti Trump than Pro immigration. When Hilary said she wanted to build a Mexican wall nobody said a thing. When Obama deported a huge number of immigrants nobody cared. When Obama jailed kids in cages, nobody cared.

Democrats do not want to focus on healthcare, student loans, or tax equality because the truth is Democrats work for the same corporations republicans work for. They know that they do not represent their own people or the working class, so the only tactic they have is to voter shame and scare people into voting for them or else the scary orange boogie man will stay in office! This is a way to continuously keep the corporate democrats in power and its working. They would rather have Trump than a real progressive.

Wow. First time I agree on something you say. Couldn't say it better

Also, with the democrats.  Can us Dems finally get behind Bernie (who has had a very consistent voting and activism record?) and/or Warren (who "has a plan for that")

I am 100% behind Warren and will vote for her if she’s still in the running. But I will also vote for whoever wins the nomination, and do not want to have a repeat of the “my candidate did not win, so I will vote for Trump/stay at home” attitude we had back then, which we had just enough of in November of 2016 to tip the scales and let Trump win.

First of all, it's primary time. You can vote for the primary candidate you think has the best proposals!

Secondly, this is exactly the reason why you should take it with a grain of salt. It's common that presidential candidates have a more radical message during the primaries to convince the more radical primary voters, and have a softer message afterwards. You should look at the proposals just before the actual presidential elections to decide who to vote for, their proposals now aren't really representative.

Thirdly, the US is a democracy. The president has powers, but not a lot without the Senate and the House. Conservative democratic senators from places like West-Virginia are crucial in getting legislation through. Moderate democrats will never vote something like this through, so you don't really have to worry.

And finally, you should apply the same logic to Trump that you apply to the Democrats: Trump is THE most radical president that the US has had in modern history. Bernie Sanders, Kamala Harris, anyone on the Democratic side you can imagine is MUCH more centrist and moderate than Trump. So if you consider yourself a moderate (leftist), voting Democrat will in any situation be the vote that fits your ideas better.

Decriminalizing illegal entries = removing deterrent for people to not violate immigration laws = open border 

They aren't decriminalizing. What they're talking about is making it so that the system doesn't punish kids nor allows migrants to be turned away at a LEGAL point of entry only to then die trying to cross a river.

Your way of making points is irrational. I can do it too though I guess.

White straight men = racism/homophobia = dead queer/PoC

But that's not how we make laws/arguments in the USA nor is it effective.

It's naive to say that this early in the election. No one even talks about how Trump won WI, MI, and PA. And it's so simple for Dems to win those States back. People act like Trump won in a landslide. He won by 70k votes that decided the electoral college. It's not rocketscience. Dems have all the chances they can get. It's just a matter of campaigning right and not becoming unlikeable like Clinton in the months leading up to the election.

I think there's enough arguments to pull independents over. Not all independents are single-issue voters concerned with immigration matters.  

Given that, I'm pretty confident independents would be more concerned about the rammifications of voting for a person setting us on the track we currently are on what  will be one of the biggest embarrassments  I think this country has ever experienced.  I get that it can be extreme when making comparisons, but keep in mind it is the objective of the right to think that any liberal perspective is considered as far left as possible. Do not fall for such tactics and attempt to make the left look extreme.

Checks and balances exist for a reason. There will be resistance to anything otherwise extreme in Congress, let alone anything proposed by the left at this point anyway.  I'd chill on this.

Honestly, Illegal immigration makes it harder to implement any other reform. The stronger our borders the better social welfare policies we can implement. Otherwise everything we do is just incentivizing more illegal immigration which unduly burdens the new programs and makes them harder to sustain.
