biden, the dnc are conservatives. they are the conservative party of today.

we have fascists, conservatives, and progressives. the progressives are kept back in a little closet to keep them from making to much noise.

I'd actually say the blame rests with the Democrats in power as a whole (and extends from our broken electoral system). The DNC is still running primaries, it's just that the only challengers are no names so there's no debates and no real chance of an alternative. Big name progressives (or even normie Dems who don't believe in performative cruelty at the border) are all too scared that saying Biden is bad in any way might make Trump win. The Republicans tried to run a primary where no one criticized the presumptive nominee, and surprise surprise, it's hard to make a case as to why you should be chosen instead without saying the alternative is bad in some way.

I sure wish we could have a parliamentary system so you could vote "lefter than triangulating centrist" without it being more likely to give power to fascists than just knuckling under. Turns out a bunch of young revolutionaries in the 18th century didn't actually develop a flawless system right out of the box.

Seriously, why bother with executive action? I thought the point was to use that as a bargaining chip for getting Ukraine funding. Now that it's dead because Republicans are now opposing their own bill, why bother?

The only border crisis is the one Abbott is creating between Texas and the United States.

Because a Nation (and I know this sounds crazy) is not a person. You can do many things a country can't and vice versa.

For example, you can make a rule that in your house black people do not get sweet foods. It's a dick move but not illegal. A country is not allowed to make a law that says black people can't eat sweet foods, because that would be racist discrimination (which is illegal for the government to do in most countries).

Another example: You can poop (like you did when posting that question). A country does not have a digestive tract and in fact does not eat and can therefore not poop.

Did you know that nations aren't a house and aren't analogous at all?

International and US law dictate that if you go to the US and make an asylum claim, you are there legally, by definition, until your case is heard. Trying to keep them out or deport them is in direct violation of those laws, purely for the sake of appealing to racist dipshits that have bought into the fear mongering about the border.

If the US government (all governments, really) would simply put resources into processing those claims and making real pathways to citizenship, rather than brutalizing them for being born on the other side of a border and being brown, this "problem" could have been solved long ago.

Why would this analogy hold? Why can nations control who comes in and not cities, counties, or any other set of borders we've come up with?

On top of that, the US doesn't seem to respect other borders as much either, when it sends troops to whatever place, usually without getting invited.

Can you give me the number of the agent that sold the US to Joe Biden?
