The people of color on stage all talked about Dreamers while being careful to state some variation of "we need to enforce our immigration laws." 3/?

Me? I said: "I believe in the words in the National Anthem, and we can't be the land of the free or the home of the brace if we lock up our borders for fear of immigrants." And I stated we need to change our immigration laws to make it easier and cheaper. 4/5

^ *brave Video will be out this week. I think everybody would be smart to check their biases. I'm not your enemy. 5/5

Steve, I appreciate your advocacy for immigrants. And I'm not saying you take the position you do on working with the alt-right out of malice. You may genuinely believe it is the best road to accomplish needed reforms. But I think that working w/ them will normalize them.

Racism *is normalized* here already.

You don't need to tell ME that. But its also possible to make it worse, right? Racism occurs in degrees and the alt-right wants it to be worse.

I used to want to date Angelina Jolie. Thing is, she would've had a say in that. I know what they want. That doesn't make it likely. What makes you think it would get worse by engaging them? That it would "turn" more people to their side?

Yes, it gives them an audience to spread their message. So, I think working w/ Cernovich would do that. Some of his followers may want universal healthcare, but they have a narrower ideal of who should be included (i.e. only white Americans).
