For all of the hue and cry about the backlog goods at the ports, the inability to ship and transport merchandise, and the hundreds of thousands of jobs vacant because people are not returning to work because they realize they don't need employers who will not pay living wages...
...it seems really idiot to continue to deport people who are perfectly willing and able to fill the jobs that need so desperately to be filled across the country.

The paradigm is changing, just like the nations demographics. Resistance is futile.
Therefore, America's nationalistic, ethno-bigoted, and jingoistic hubris have real life economic ramifications. There's a huge cost associated and negative consequences with being racists and bigots not just to victims, but to white nationalists themselves.
America writ large needs to understand that, and employers need to recognize of they want the work done, they need to pay people to do it.

...[if] they want the work done...
...seems really [idiotic]...

People like Christine Todd Whitman are a big part of the problem. They keep saying that America needs candidates who are in the "center" because the nation is in the center. That is meaningless. The majority of the nation is with Biden. His agenda is supposedly not "center."
So why does she think that any democrats or even most remaining rational republicans will vote for the very centrist candidates who'll block and obstruct the agenda they need, while those cabdidates' inaction allows far right extremists to commit grand larceny with democracy?
Centrist politicians and centrist leaning voters are apparently not the same, but the politicians still haven't caught on. Centrists politicians are living in unreality.

So what else is behind the ATT/ OANN story?

I hate conspiracies, and don't really believe in coincidences, but this is weird. At the beginning of his term, Trump had a complete hard-on for ATT, so much so that he wanted DoJ to get involved in their deal to purchase Time-Warner.
As part of Trump's/DoJ's outrage, Time-Warner was forced to sell the Turner Unit, including CNN, which Trump hates, too. That was 2017. Until that point, OANN was pretty insignificant as media outlets go. So at what point did it become such a vocal pro-Trump propaganda outlet?
And because Trump almost immediately stopped discussing ATT, was some kind of deal offered concerning OANN by ATT to appease Trump? What happened? Was it coercion? Extortion? Bribery?

What don't we know about ATT/OANN?

When @JoyAnnReid looked right into the camera tonight straight-faced and call "bullsh!t," she was ice cold, dead right, as serious as a heart attack, and she didn't blink. That's because there was absolutely nothing funny or light-hearted in what she discussed.
She was talking about folks on the street who'll cease seeing the Supreme Court as illegitimate because they are behaving and performing like political hacks who don't give a damn about the public, and are enforcing their will to implement their ideological and political goals.
That was the segment of her show that followed @MalcolmNance and @AmandiOnAir putting out the clarion call about Steve Bannon's call for "shock troops," and Madison Cawthorn's recorded message calling for Christian Jihad. It a full-on call for war that deserves its own thread.

I understand why so many young people are turned off by politics, and why so many specifically hate the democrats.

But who can blame them? Many of us older folks keep insisting that for all of their problems, democrats are most likely to act on our behest, in our best interest.
Yet even many of us doubt that.

Look at the democratic party right now. How are we supposed to be believed, and how are they to be convinced, when we see members of our own party working directly against our interest, forcing us to negotiate with ourselves unnecessarily?
They force us into weak positions demanding that we squander our power and leverage to do good things for the people, while they preen, pose, profile, goof off, act like they're unaccountable, scrape money from donors, lobbyists, and from republicans.

If you can't or won't say why something it too big or too expensive, then you have no position, just a complaint with no basis or substance. What you've presented is a strawman because you're too dishonest to have a real debate of ideas, or you just want to conceal the truth.
That's what Manchin and Sinema have done. They are taking the identical positions now that the tea party took 10 years ago. They don't have specific disagreements on ANYTHING. They have done nothing and presented nothing.
They have no ideas and no constituency or caucus in congress. They're completely empty. Their power comes strictly from taking the position of saying NO pretending that conservative democratic ideology is most important, when their underlying interests are about ideology at all.

There was a time in this country when every baby was required to be born no matter the circumstances of it's conception - even rape or incest, regardless of whether that child was wanted or could be cared for, and regardless of whether the family survived or was broken up.
It was never a matter of love, caring, or family. The women were merely vessels, and the children were commodities and pawns for the purposes of others.
Those decisions were made and imposed by craven, evil, small white males who had only their base, lascivious, instincts and reprobate wants in mind, derived purely from their self-anointed sense superiority, privilege, and entitlement.
