And you all told me the blue maga border bill that Republicans rejected was 4d chess.

    “Biden considers vague unspecified action on a subject that over 70% of the American electorate considers a problem, clearly Both Sides are Just As Bad”

      What? That’s not a quote from the article. What are the sides you’re even talking about? The borders sides?

        See, this is what I mean by “treat them like political pawns.”

        By… acknowledging that action in a democracy happens by consensus of the voters?

        Tell me, how do YOU think decisions should be made? Who’s your autocrat of choice, here, since democracy is apparently unacceptable?

          Answer me: If 70% of the population believed we LGBTQ+ people should be put to death, then you’d think that’s alright?

          That’s what you’re doing here, but with immigrants. The real problem is you don’t see immigrants as humans. Their lives are expendable to people like you.

            Ignoring that unspecified action on ‘securing the border’ and putting LGBTQ people to death aren’t even in the same conceptual ballpark, if 70% of the population believed that LGBTQ folk should be put to death, then it’s pretty clearly a losing plank to run on in a democracy.

            So tell me - if 70% of the population thought that LGBTQ folk should be put to death, would you say “Let the guy who wants to genocide non-whites AND LGBTQ people win! Both sides are the same!” like you are now?

              “Securing the border” is just political speak for trampling on the rights and dignity of immigrants. Again, I’m not that naive to be deceived by this crap. I’m way too old and have seen too many lies from politicians.

              And I don’t compromise and barter with innocent lives. I’m not that shitty of a human.

                    Trump will put way more innocent lives at risk, so you are doing exactly what you’re saying tou would never do by putting your vote for Biden on the table.

                    That’s what’s funny.
