    The reason people cross illegally is we don’t let refugees in legally.

    The mass of innocent people, provides cover for the less than innocent. And they turn people into mules when they do cross, after charging them for it.

    That’s not even getting into the rampant organ harvesting that’s happening to the people waiting to cross.

    And like you said, Dems haven’t been doing the right thing for decades now.

    How are we better than Republicans if we let this horrible shit happen just because the other team is worse?

    Why not just run someone with some fucking empathy?

      Because, unfortunately, that person will be seen as weak, and lose.

        Only if you ignore history and the fact the moderate wing of the Dem party is just very loud, very small, and very wealthy.

        They’ve got money behind them for the same reason they don’t have voters behind them.

        And they still have to cheat to win the primary, and voting for them because they’re not Republicans doesn’t fix anything.

        The people paying both parties have already won by then.

        Republicans support horrible shit because they think Dems are worse, Dems support horrible shit because they think (correctly) that they’ll be even worse…

        We still end up with horrible shit. And that’s why on a busy election year, were lucky to crack 75% turnout most years 66%.

        We’re leaving an insane amount of votes on the table, because the people running the DNC care more about money than votes. Then try to use the money to get votes.

        The money is just a middle step we only need when we have an unpopular candidate. We can just fucking skip it, along with all the horrible shit Dem voters don’t even want.

        But it’ll never change as long as at the end of the day we hold our noses, because why would they change when it keeps working?

        Protests don’t work, because Biden and his admin refuse to listen to anyone under 60, despite most of them being hardcore trump supporters who would never vote D.

        He’s running off the Dem base in the senile hopes republicans will vote D if Biden does some of the horrible shit trump did. Or even worse, he legitimately thinks these are good moves or what his voters want. There’s no good option for why he keeps doing this shit.

        They’re never gonna vote D just because Biden acts more conservative though. Because trump is always going to take it further. Following him makes no logical sense except that’s where the donations are
