Democratic leaders demanding standards that all police and sheriffs in the country follow isn't 'caving'

15. Bigtree, much of what you say rings true, but legislation is not the only political end

Winning the minds and firing up the hearts of fellow Americans is also effective political strategy, especially when in the minority. Some of us have expectations not just that legislation is passed but that changing public sentiment on ICE is capitalized on to as great an extent as possible. Our leaders might have hit the sweet spot as you and others have argued. But, I for one am happy to hear the multitude of voices and suggestions by others. I feel a kinship to fellow Democrats both to the right and left of my current positions as I try not to succumb to my own hubris and ignore that my perspective is limited. In spirit of this thought, I applaud your contributions even when I disagree.
