Pretty clear neither of these imperialists give a fuck about the people, and only care about its effects on the election. Reps make a big deal out of nothing to use against dems, and dems concede to them.
Just the usual ratchet effect

Go back and look at the '90s. Conservative Democrats are practically progressives by comparison.
90s Democrats gave us the Telecommunications Act of 1996, and they had previously agreed that yes, conservatives need a bigger voice in media and government. They literally laid the groundwork for fascism, like handing Hitler his PA system
How are democrats blocking movement back left? Unless it’s refusing to play dirty, like freezing out a Supreme Court nominee for almost a year, or passing knowingly constitutionally dubious laws to let the courts essentially legislate from the bench, I just don’t see it that way at all.
They keep actually leftist politicians out of the race by not having real primaries, instead selecting milquetoast right-of-center candidates that manage to lose against current republicans.
Biden wants to massively increase ICE's budget. Most folks on the left would rather ICE not exist at all.
It's not even refusing to play dirty. Liberals haven't had all 3, POTUS, Senate, and House, at the same time in my lifetime.
They were within a couple seats in Biden's first 2 years. Manchin and Sinema gave Democrats a majority, but they still didn't have a liberal majority. And with the extremely politicized SCOTUS, there are major limits to what liberals can accomplish.
Not only that, but conservative propaganda works really well. It's not even always policy. Identity politics are actively working against Democrats. So when something that is policy like immigration gets national attention, Democrats cannot afford to ignore it. If they do, THEY WILL LOSE to the people who are radicals.
You know what's easy though?
Not bypassing congress to sell arms to a country specifically for genocide. (Biden and Israel)
Democrats will break rules / norms, it's just almost never for causes that help people.
He could have simply not done anything, and it would have been better.
If "Don't go out of your way to support genocide." is asking too much, then don't be surprised when people aren't excited to vote for your candidate.
So you are less than 14 years old?
2009-2011, they had all 4, POTUS, Senate (59 seats), House and SCOTUS.
Seriously learn some damn history. And it's extremely disingenious to claim that the Dems didn't have all 3 from 2021-2023.
Further the last time the GOP has had all 3 was in 2007. Yet, somehow they manage to get their agenda through.
Democrats have made it a point to block or stifle any leftist candidates and progressive ideals. They constantly capitulate to the right while telling the left (i.e. Eisenhower Republicans) to fuck off. Adam Schiff's bid to block Katie Porter from a Senate seat is the most recent example of this. They were stunned when Hillary lost to Obama, and furious when Biden was challenged by Sanders. They have ALWAYS backed conservative candidates over even centrist ones, and only propose popular bills when they know they can't pass them. There will never be a challenge to Citizens United because they benefit directly from it, and the SCOTUS gives them an excuse to never challenge. They refused to codify Roe when they KNEW it would be overturned because they still think it's a cash cow. They will give every excuse imaginable for inaction but never a plan for action.
I love it. Make Trump and the GOP look like the obstructionists that they are.
Both red and blue governors want some sort of way to handle the record number of people crossing right now. That bipartisan bill would’ve easily passed if it was brought to the floor. But if the border started to chill out, Trump wouldn’t be able to complain about the border at the podium.
"record number"
Propaganda works, I see. Every election year.
There is no border crisis and never has been.
Search for the public records around “US southern border encounters.” All of this stuff has been logged and quantified for decades. We’re up around 2.4m annual encounters. Previous large peaks hit 1.6m annually. During the Obama years it was floating around 0.4m annually.
Pew has a good breakdown, but it hasn’t been updated for 2023. It ends at 2021, and things have only gone up since then.
Many towns / states that support sanctuary are hitting budget ceilings for helping refugees and asylum-seekers. Racists and xenophobes have been crying wolf for decades, and unfortunately, that has made many people dismiss any “border crisis” claims they hear, even when the data supports the claim.
Chart really makes it looks like this happens every 10-20 years, and I doubt anything was changed those times it happened. The huge spike this time is because we had a global pandemic that started in 2020 and kept everything low
A lot of natural disasters drove people out of their own countries too. And they're only becoming more frequent.
"gonna own the people I keep calling a threat to democracy by doing exactly what they want and then telling them they're stupid for not voting for it"
Didn't Biden call the dude and enemy of the state on a few occasions?
Impeachment... Colluding with enemies of the state...
I'm being facetious of course, I'd rather they break the tradition of trying to impeach every president on their way out the door, but still, how you gonna have a meeting with someone you yourself called an enemy of the state?
Because he knows Trump is going to Trump and refuse to work with him. Biden's perspective= win win and shows the orange broke dumb shit is all smoke and mirrors.
Trump's supporters don't care, so all it shows that Biden is a fascist collaborator.
He probably doesn't remember.
The GOP as a whole is actively antagonistic with America. But you have to work with them if you want to get anything done.
Don't talk with insurrectionists
They're totally different though guys I swear
Just because you dislike both, doesn't mean they're the same.
If Trump gets elected, he's going to be reinstalling those deadly traps Texas put up. He's going to shut down all the crossings he can. Closed border. He's going to steal migrant children again. He's going to come after DACA kids.
They are not the same.
Texas can reinstall the "Traps" on their own, and probably already have. They have also reinstalled the razor wire etc they had too. Is Turmp actually already president or something? Why are you conflating the actions of a state with the president?
You are the correct one here. The US lost thousands of children from that kids and cages Trump bullshit. Literally lost them. One father hung himself to death after losing his child to the Trump family torture bs.
People don't remember how fucked up Trump was.
That or there are SOME pro-Trump people in here feigning offense or manipulating the votes.
It’s good you noticed that one is a fascist, racist, misogynist piece of shit and the other is just old and bordering on senile. I, for one, will take old and senile over selfish and willful destruction of my country, thanks.
If a third, viable option that doesn’t split votes and guarantee a Trump win, happens to come about, then I’d be happy to vote for him or her. Until then, I’ll be voting for the most viable opponent to Trump — and right now that’s Grandfather Octogenarian.
Hindenburg reaches across the aisle for bipartisan legislation 2024 edition
Trump: There's no "me" in "work together."
Biden might as well try to convince a rock that it can jump if it tries really hard.
Okay, so there's a master example of how to finesse your opponent. The guy may be 81 years old, but his brain is working just fine.
Dude is the definition of speak softly and carry a big stick. He's fucking smart. He's done this type of stuff all term. It's how he kept us from going into default.
Our politicians may not always get along, but at least they agree about hating brown people.
None of the quotes from Biden mention Trump?
