Yeah I’m sorry, but this is indefensible and is *exactly* the kind of shit that people are talking about when they talk about non-profit/activist brainworms. And it’s causing real harm here! Minorities are more likely to be victims of drunk drivers as well!
The California ACLU is staunchly opposed to the ignition interlock device program and is a big reason that it has not been expanded. Despite the fact that California heavily subsidizes the cost for low-income drunk drivers, the ACLU says that the program is a form of "racialized wealth extraction."

The thing Democrats are consistently afraid of, I think, is that they will oppose a war and then the USA will win an easy decisive victory and anyone who opposed the war will look like unpatriotic losers afterwards. Except the only time this ever happened was 1991 and the GOP got btfo in 1992 anyway
what’s kind of ridiculous about this too is that this intervention polls about as well as cuts to social security. i think honestly a lot of elite dems are neutral to positive about the idea
damn if only we had a national democratic party that could help mobilize these instead of a loose assemblage of leftwing groups that are mostly volunteer based and therefor prone to entryism from any fringe actor with money
