    The Constitution matters a whole lot less than what people are willing to tolerate, and everyone in the US outside the sliver on the far left considers homeless people vermin to be eradicated.

      Republicans want homeless people eradicated, Democrats just don't want to see them. This is part of why Democrats will support (watered down, means tested) solutions that involve roofs over heads and not just cops.

        That’s only a portion of democrats.

        The rest don’t want to see them, but they also don’t want to think about them. Out of sight, out of mind, all is good in god’s heaven. They’ll let republicans do the dirty work willingly or unwillingly, and if they get a glimpse of how the sausage is made, they’ll do a performance of “This is terrible. How could republicans do this?!”

        And even the means tested democrats will inadvertently support this shit. They’ll just keep demanding more and more before they lift a finger, and when you die before meeting the criteria, they’ll just go “ah well nevertheless.”

        Democrats think not voting for Biden is a vote for Trump, but the reality is that their inaction when they wield power is a vote for all things evil. Lousy fucks.
