The only thing I have to add to this perfection is that I would, in fact, prefer Grandpa Joe’s Feckless Possum Party as opposed to the end of the world and everything we love
I see, so the "other guy" is perfectly mentally acute and sharp, has a functioning memory and strategic mind able to keep track of many shifting variables that are related to planetary existential crisis, environmental collapse, active genocide, the proliferation of global and national fascism and eradication of basic rights in favor of corporate profits, and any number of other urgent and dire circumstances; but he just has a little bit of a stutter.
Fuck Trump, don't vote for him, vote for the Democrat even if it is just to democratically choose which enemy you would rather fight. But come on this is so disingenuous and unserious. None has ever decided to vote because someone was smug to them on the internet. If anything it has the opposite effect; but keep on pushing that rock, Sisyphus, it'll stay up there some day
Holding perfectly still and faking death isn't actually stopping the other party from achieving any of their aims.
This isn't entirely accurate, because Biden put a lot of effort into arresting more immigrants than Trump, allocating covid funds to police, helping Israel carry out a genocide, etc. It's more like a "we must detonate the sun to bring forth eternal night cuz CRT"-party and a "we must detonate the sun to bring forth eternal night cuz uhhh moderate republicans will vote for us or something"-party
I don't think biden is putting more effort into arresting immigrants. I think its just that biden is having an easier time of it.
Most federal policies are monsterous. Arresting immigrants for immigrating to a country founded by immigrants is a bad thing. Most people are compassionate, and US border policy is not.
People are far more likely to resist a president like trump, who is so enthusiastic about doing the horrible things every government does. During trump we had sanctuary cities regularly in the news, and states and local governments refusing to cooperate with federal law enforcement. Trump put an ugly face on ugly policies.
Obama and biden knew not to say the quiet part out loud. They have competent administrators running every department, and they are smart enough to not lead chants about how much they love deportations, so they had a much easier time of it than trump.
Sure. Let's pick out immigration. On Israel you kind of have a point, although refusing to vote against Trump in this election because you're concerned about the Palestinians is kind of like shooting the family dog in the head because you're concerned its food might not be good enough. But you also brought up immigration, so let's delve into that in a little bit of detail.
So there are two big problems in immigration in this country:
There's a huge backlog of asylum / deportation cases which means people stay in custody in racist and oppressive overcrowded prisons
We're rate limiting the people coming into the country (see point #1), which means a lot of asylum seekers who are trying to do it legally wind up waiting for months (maybe years now, IDK) on the other side of the Mexican border, basically just living in a big, dangerous, squalid, crime-ridden open-air field with no facilities for life, and no job, no medical care for anyone no matter how young or old, it's fuckin dangerous
There's also a problem that the whole agency in charge of the border police is for the most part made of racist people, but that one is unfixable unless Biden can fire the whole agency en masse and then find 40,000 people who want to be immigration police who are not racist. So, unfixable. The other two problems do have legislative solutions, but the Republicans block anything he does, even when he tried promising to do some cruel or racist things as a compromise in order to get them to also agree to some badly needed things (mostly, increasing ICE funding so they can at least house the people they have in better conditions, and increasing the number of judges to process cases so people don't wait for a year before their case is heard).
And, any time he tries to do anything about it, e.g. reducing the rate of people allowed to come across the border, or increasing the number of judges to reduce the backlog, or increasing funding for ICE, everyone on the left as far as I can tell thinks he's just being cruel on purpose for no reason and gets really mad at him.
So: What should he do? You are angry at him because he is deporting a large number of migrants who have lost their cases. What should he do instead, to improve this situation?
So what you're saying is that the Republicans are Harkon's Court and the Democrats are the Grey Beards before Paarthurnax tells them to hurry the fuck up and do something while the world is dying.
