Ok well it would be nice if you acknowledged the clear fact that Republicans want chaos on the border.
And of course you are trying to win a debate with me. You are taking a contrary position to what I am saying in an attempt to be more convincing and win an argument. Why else are you arguing with strangers on the internet?
you just don't seem to understand how political parties work or what their purpose is. And you seem to think that somehow a primary system could have been put together in time for the convention? That's your argument? It makes no sense. One of the reasons political parties are successful is how they smooth out the bumps like this and hold voting coalitions together. An open convention would have torn apart the Dem voting coalition. Dems knew this so they are fine with Harris. This is a feature, not a bug.
as for the border...yes, it was a screw up but an honorable one. Biden felt that Congress should solve the problem with laws and reformation of the immigration system. So he waited for Congress to do its work. And yes, Congress did work together in a bipartisan manner, got the bill done. Triumph for American Democracy? No, because Trump killed it to make more chaos on the border.
So then, seeing that the congress had failed, Biden used executive orders. Which worked, but represent a failure of a our democracy. Everything trump touches dies and he is killing the national legislature with stunts like this.
In other words, Biden's plan was an honorable way to try to get congress to do its job rather than have the president rule like a king with exec orders. It failed because he thought Rs actually wanted to fix the border. Fine. Hold it against him. Not fair, but go ahead.
Yeah FEMA fail is just optics, you are right about that. Not factual.
Jesus, you are as insufferable as Harambe. Maybe you are him. No, I’m not trying to convince you to vote for Trump or Harris. That’s the point.
I’m teling you where your big liabilities reside, and you want to tell me why they shouldn’t be liabilities when, in fact, they are liabilities. Period.
Biden has been gone for a long time. There was plenty of time to root him out and have a vote among candidates that people could actually respect and get behind, if you were going to root him out anyway, which they always were. Plenty of time to install a legitimate candidate through a process.
Regardless of whether Biden, in good faith (very doubtful), thought the border should be fixed legislatively (it should), he immediately rescinded all of Trump’s executive orders. This was not at all necessary or required. But it was good optics and gaslighting, at the time. Republicans will negotiate but not until you triage the patient first.
It’s actually such a ridiculous argument that I can’t even believe we are having it. How many other countries in the world just let people defile their laws and sovereignty and just come flooding across the border and shower them with resources? C’mon man. It’s illegal. It’s easily stopped. The President can act AND the Congress can act, simultaneously.
Anyway, whatever, just keep telling yourself that these shouldn’t be liabilities, that they are not liabilities, that Republicans are just stupid. Keep it up.
sure, immigration is a liability on the Dems. That's not a controversial thought. I agree. Who doesn't agree with that?
I mean we all should know that the nation will benefit tremendously for generations to come from having more immigrants, but right now in 2024, immigration is costing Dems votes.
But remember our laws insist that if someone asks for asylum we take them in and give them a hearing. Take it up with Republican leadership why they killed the bill that fixed the asylum system. Dems sure wanted to fix it. Rs didn't. You are shouting at the wrong people.
Many countries take care of immigrants. You think Europe just lets them live on the street? What is your reasoning for thinking that the US is unique on this? Crazeballs false theory you have there, chief. And again, clearly you do not understand the asylum system.
If Biden had used exec orders on the border earlier it would have stabbed the legislators working on the deal in the back. Any momentum to get a deal done in congress would have evaporated. The bipartisan deal would not have happened if Joe had just done the deal unilaterally without them with exec orders.
And again, Biden's strategy worked. A tough bipartisan bill was written. Would have been a great success story and rebuilt congress a bit. but the Republican Party killed it because its leader wants chaos on the border. Shout at them, wouldja?
As for getting Joe to exit earlier, I dunno. messy situation. he needed a big public embarrassment to get to the point where he had to go. We didn't have that big embarrassment until the debate. He crushed the primaries. His state of the union address was terrific and no leakers were saying Joe was losing it. So why should he have quit? But when the debate happened it became clear he had to go, and he went. Messy but that's what happened. It took the big public embarassment of the debate.
Even if immigration stayed the same as the previous administration and the border bill passed, Trump would still be running hard on immigration. He’d still be saying this administration let in dangerous immigrants. And the people still would be buying it.
The border is truly a non issue that hasn’t affected people’s lives differently. But the gaslighting of this “crisis” has been effective.
Abortion is truly an issue that has affected people as the Trump/McConnell Justices took away rights that every American woman had and meant a lot to men as well.
MUSK: “There’s no point in criticizing Kamala Harris, she’s simply the face of a much larger machine. She’ll say whatever is on the teleprompter. She’ll get stuck if the teleprompter breaks…it’s whoever controls the teleprompter who is in charge.” TUCKER: “Who is that?” MUSK: “It’s not any one mastermind. Kamala is a sort of marionette with somewhere north of 100 (handlers)” TUCKER: “I bet you know 80 of them.” MUSK: “I probably know most of them.” 😂

I prefer someone representing a team of smart people's analysis over one guy misrepresenting his opinions as facts.
It isn't Trump supporters who hate women to the extent that they allow biological males to "compete" against females.
That is your side, misogynist.
Letting males compete in female sports events is stup!d . . . and about 1 trillionth as important as the destruction of democracy that Trump pushes endlessly.

"Former President Donald Trump has been spreading false claims about the Biden-Harris administration’s response to Hurricane Helene, including the baseless claim that the administration is using Federal Emergency Management Agency money to house illegal migrants. Some of Trump’s allies, including Elon Musk, have been amplifying those claims.
Those claims are not true. But ironically, Trump attempted something similar to what he falsely claims the Biden/Harris administration is doing when he was president.
Back in 2019, Trump used money from FEMA’s disaster fund for migrant programs at the southern border."

"Destruction of democracy" - turn off PMSNBC, groomer.
Make all the Harris voters fight the matrix incited war. They want to kill off the healthiest, strongest, most independent thinking men via their plan. Time to rebel. Time to wake up.

While you were sleeping it off today, I stocked up on ammo, Steven. Some men can handle their mud, some can't.
