We should have a strong norm against ethnic cleansing.

YES, agreed. I mean the fact he suggested deporting 1 million "criminals" as an opening move wasn't even eyeblinked.

We should have a strong norm against it because it’s straight-up evil and fuck these ethnonationalist clowns. But also, this just so perfectly exemplifies the point of ethnic cleansing: to not do a goddamn thing about real problems.

The problem is that if we did have that, both parties would face criticism for it. It's the same reason that Harris didn't take on Trump's insane deportation babbling. The norm is ethnic cleansing.

OKCupid used to let you see how people answered questions. One was something like "Would you date someone who has voiced strong negative opinions about a racial group?" and the answers were "Yes", "No", and "It depends which race"

We should, and it's also a heavy lift to get a lot of folks even to understand that deportation *means* ethnic cleansing in cases like this, no?
