Bidens republican immigration bill goes nowhere so he decides to float his own version of a Muslim ban?

    If the part that’s going to be pissed off is less than what could be won then is the risk worth taking? Some campaign manager must have thought so or this appeal against his own base is a terrible gamble.

      Yes I’m sure he’s not just doing this on a whim, but we’ll see how this pays off in November.

      If he loses it’s his fault alone.

        Nah they’ll blame the people he alienated. They did it for Hillary, they’ll do it for Biden. They block anything remotely progressive and then wonder why progressives don’t run to the polls for them.

          I blame Hillary and the people who didn’t vote for her. They still had a choice. And it was a dumbass choice they made.

          Edit: If you don’t vote for Biden, and Trump wins, you are culpable. That’s literally how voting works.

            No, pretty sure it’s everyone who doesn’t find supporting genocide a big enough deal to seek another path for the election. Everyone supporting Biden now is responsible for propping up a bad candidate.

                  If I had a vote, I’d be voting for the guy stopping trump from killing you, what else do you want me to do, if even you won’t help yourselves in the simplest way possible?

                    Trump lost the popular vote the last time he won because America isn’t a democracy. I voted against him twice, and the second time I voted against Trump to “stop fascism” all I got for my vote was a fucking genocide.

                    I want you to stop victim blaming. Our only choices are between polite Hitler and rude Hitler, you don’t know enough about American politics to even understand how fucked we are.

                You are enabling, your making the unacceptable choice. No candidate has any more privilege than another. Your making up a narrative, your being dishonest and your goal is cause harm.

              If you say so.

              But voting is literally how we decide who is in power, and it cost nothing. SCOTUS being hijacked by radicals is a direct result of the 2016 election. Everyone got together and decided (through the Electoral College) that Trump was the person to lead us. Everyone had a voice. Some chose not to use that.

                Gibberish. Everyone got together and decided that Clinton was the President, then the Electoral College overruled the democratic will of the majority and we got Trump anyway. Everyone has a voice. $ome voices matter more than others.
