maybe because the Republican's immigration platform mirrors the Democrat's

very closed borders with less immigration and more border security to match the pro police stances combined with no plans to raise the minimum wage or to give workers more rights along with no healthcare reform

everybody is getting fucked this election except for the donors paying the Republicans and Democrats to keep things the way they were

Nah. I mean fuck the wealthy etc. They absolutely are part of the problem. But many of them depend on migrants and immigrants. The reason Democrats and Republicans are both courting the xenophobic bigot vote. Is because they're unfortunately one of the largest most influential groups. Blame education, talk radio, social and corporate media. They're all at fault. But more importantly so are their product. The median xenophobic American.

As a first nations descendant, i can safely say. America has always been a bigoted racist country. We were one of the last industrialized western nations to end slavery. And 150 years on. We're actually still debating whether that was a good thing or not. Decades of tolerating fascists and racists has seen them flourish. And we've seemingly learned nothing.
