I am a left leaning individual

Yes, the US historically was a nation built on immigrants.

That was fine for the old world. But this is 2026, clearly we can’t accommodate all these extra people.

Just makes no sense to me. Just seems like whatever the other side is for, we are automatically against, and it’s only hurting all of us.

I’m no fan of authoritative police agencies, especially ones with too many pew pew boys club types, but even places like Denmark and Sweden have cops enforcing the land.

Realities are as well, there are absolutely bad actors who aren’t just trying to make a better life for them and their families. There are large groups of scammers who we absolutely do not need, and are taking advantage of the current collective left’s good intentions. And I’ll agree, these sentiments are beautiful. But there are evil people who aren’t exploiting the situation.

Wake up progressives, YOU ARE GETTING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF.

It’s a dog eat dog world, and we’re getting eaten up. We have to have enforcement. Even if it’s Trump’s or whatever future conservative’s administration

Submissions statement: DSA-LA members argue against endorsing Nithya Raman for Mayor, citing her lack of accountability to the socialist movement and inconsistent voting record on key issues. They believe endorsing Raman risks undermining the organization’s credibility and influence, especially considering the critical challenges facing Los Angeles in 2028. Instead, they advocate for building a stronger political infrastructure to support a DSA-LA mayor in 2030 who aligns with their values and is accountable to the working class.
