10. I'm having trouble understanding your argument.

You started by responding to my suggestion with "So, might as well do nothing?" as if that's what I was saying.

My response was to say, essentially, the leadership can impose any conditions it wants to impose, but here's something that we can try to actually get needed results. Something to do in addition to the agenda already proposed.

Now you seem to be saying, since Trump will do whatever he wants anyway, maybe we shouldn't do anything at all? Just settle for what we can get, which you seem to suggest will be: nothing?

So what would be your plan, aside from building a time machine to undo the 2024 election? Or maybe just wait until the next election and hope Trump and the GOP will suddenly respect results they don't like?

ICE is a clear and present danger to our democracy, such as it is. Your plan for the leadership to deal with this would be: what?
