Some of my fav bits from this 92 page pile of donkey turds
President Biden has taken decisive action to secure our border through executive actions that have significantly restricted eligibility for asylum at the border and created innovative legal pathways to the U.S. that, when coupled with strong enforcement, have decreased illegal border crossings. Since President Biden announced new border restrictions in June 2024, the number of unlawful crossings has fallen by 40 percent, demonstrating that the policy works. He has also implemented policies that have stopped record amounts of fentanyl from crossing our border.
From page 62; weren't we talking about how inhumane this was?
LMAO
President Biden has repeatedly asked Congress for additional resources to secure our border, including increases for personnel that are critically needed to quickly deliver consequences at the border to those who cross unlawfully. The Department of Homeland Security requested funds to hire 1,300 Border Patrol agents and 1,600 asylum officers. Meanwhile, the bipartisan Senate bill would have provided an additional 1,500 Customs and Border Protection personnel and 4,300 asylum officers. Congressional Republicans continue to play partisan politics with the security of our border instead of working with Democrats to fund these critically needed resources for DHS and border communities.
From page 63, guess not, fuck them kids (in cages). I could pull more from their immigration section, but it's just pissing me off.
President Biden is working to build a durable peace in the Middle East bolstered by regional integration, a strong coalition to counter and deter Iran and prevent it and its terrorist proxies from threatening the security of the region, and a negotiated two-state solution that ensures Israel’s future as a Jewish and democratic state with recognized borders and upholds the right of Palestinians to live in freedom and security in a viable state of their own. The terrorist group Hamas sought to destroy the promise of that vision on October 7, 2023, but they will not succeed. The United States strongly supports Israel in the fight against Hamas. And the hard work of diplomacy under the President's leadership has made real progress on a way forward that will free the hostages, establish a durable ceasefire, ease humanitarian suffering in Gaza, and make possible normalization between Israel and key Arab states, together with meaningful progress and a political horizon for the Palestinian people.
From page 82
Holy shit, they really do attack Trump for not doing enough about Iran lmao
All of this [ed: prior 3 paragraphs all about bs Biden did against Iran] stands in sharp contrast to Trump's fecklessness and weakness in the face of Iranian aggression during his presidency. In 2018, when Iranian-backed militias repeatedly attacked the U.S. consulate in Basra, Iraq Trump’s only response was to close our diplomatic facility. In June 2019, when Iran shot down a U.S. surveillance aircraft operating in international airspace above the Straits of Hormuz, Trump responded by tweet and then abruptly called off any actual retaliation, causing confusion and concern among his own national security team. In September 2019, when Iranian-backed groups threatened global energy markets by attacking Saudi oil infrastructure, Trump failed to respond against Iran or its proxies. In January 2020, when Iran, for the first and only time in its history, directly launched ballistic missiles against U.S. troops in western Iraq, Trump mocked the resulting Traumatic Brain Injuries suffered by dozens of American servicemembers as mere “headaches” – and again, took no action
From page 83
Page 84 actually pisses me off more than the immigration section.
Also, I get 12 matches for "in his second term" referring to Biden's (presumptive) second term, are these idiots aware of who their nominee is? I'm supposed to take this clown shoes party seriously when they can't even fucking proofread their own officially released documents?
Page 49.
More than one in three women of reproductive age, and more than half of Black women and 40 percent of Latinas, now live under an abortion ban. Today, our daughters have fewer rights than their grandmothers.
This happened under the Democrats! You people let this happen!
"Sorry sweety, the non-democratically appointed body of 9 justices that have self-appointed power said we have to get rid of it, nothing we can do"
Are you fucking kidding me? Your argument for why to vote for you is “Trump didn’t go to war with Iran”???
Are you campaigning for Trump? If you wanted me to vote for Trump as the lesser of two evils this is how you make that argument holy fucking shit
But who will think of poor blue dog and his desire to turn Iran into a crater
No-no, they are accelerationists who think that war against Iran would greatly speed up the decline of American Empire!
yeah those errors are pretty damning proof to show Harris' campaign will not deviate from biden's. This makes it abundantly clear they took from a document that existed before Biden stepped down and simply changed the names.
Even though its damning, it'll just serve as proof to people who already knew harris wouldn't be different that they were right, cuz it still wouldnt convince a lib who doesn't wanna know.
Wherever i read the blueMAGA excuses there is one that surfaces very often and is very specific: Trump said that capital of Israel is Jerusalem.
Dems are really taking all of what Trump said and did and are doing worse, point after point.
The platform was "unveiled" this Sunday, but it has 20 mentions of what will happen in Biden's "second term."

Forgot to do that "Control H, replace Biden with Harris" huh
Biden - 287 mentions
Harris - 32 mentions, including seven as part of "Biden-Harris"
Good to know the DNC's enthusiasm for changing their documents as needed matches their enthusiasm for adopting less openly bloodthirsty positions
They probably didn't have anyone on staff that knew how. And IT is probably treated like computer janitor by these people.
There's zero job security in this industry and half of the jobs are "cycle based" aka end in November. Also roles are still asking tech people to relocate to expensive cities like Philly for a job that lasts literally 12 weeks...
There's no great incentives for anyone to keep working for Dems in tech.
IT is probably treated like computer janitor by these people.
this is everywhere. this is my life.
this is deeply embarrasing but I doubt there will even be as much as a reprimanded intern over it
This is why Biden thought he could hang on for so long - they can 25th Amendment him, but there's no mechanism to oust his parliamentarians on the platform committee.
So the Harris campaign has committed to Biden’s strategy of “No I promise, I am the greater evil, I will do more evil than Trump and I can do it better, please vote for my evil”
Good to have their official policy positions that I can turn to when people act surprised that I don't support any of the shit that they represent.
This is why I love when people still argue about who's more "accelerationist" - you're getting WW3 one way or the other.
Before you quote this tweet it doesn't actually say most of that stuff, except that BDS is discriminatory. It does however continue the Iran nuclear weapons myth, bringing back old classics
ShowAnd again, a deal that was only ever a protection racket in the US’s favor in the first place. Iran is not, and has never been, developing nuclear weapons.
Iran is not, and has never been, developing nuclear weapons.
Any country that hasn't needed to immediately arm themselves with nukes given what happened with Iraq. The US has shown it won't hold war criminals responsible, so you're leaving yourself open to regime change if you don't have WMDs. This is especially true for Iran, who Americans confuse with Iraq all the time.
When you're talking to sympathetic-but-skeptical libs (and many of us were there once), it's far better to understate your claims than overstate them. You don't want to get bogged down on debatable shit; keep the conversation on topics where there isn't any defense.
Broke: deposing Hitler so you can end the war.
Woke: deposing Hitler so you can win the war.
Genuinely this has me convinced again that the Dems are the greater evil, not the lesser one
“Trump should’ve gone to war with Iran” is not a good selling point
Sounds like a little someone wants Donald Trump elected. Do you get your information from Dussia or Hamas?
Wacky hijinks, I met him in VRChat where he was just reading Mao in a public space with a semi circle of furries intently listening in. Incredibly fucking based guy.
Show...Joe Biden?
Wait you mean the tweet OP, leaving this up because Joe Biden reading Mao in a Furry RP is a very funny image.
No you were right the first time, it was Joe Biden in that cute raccoon avatar.
so does it actually say this stuff or is this a gross exaggeration being repeated uncritically?
(gross exaggeration?? in my hexbear?? it's more likely than you think)
Nah, as pointed out elsewhere, this is exaggerated. The doc definitely thinks we should have been much harder on Iran, Yemen, and Lebanon, but doesn't outline going to war with them, just the usual vague garbage of 'Trump needed to be rougher with them'.
It is right that the doc calls BDS discriminatory, and it is also critical of the UN, but not to the point of underscoring it as evil
Poorly proofread garbage that still presupposes Biden getting a second term, and your usual neoliberal slop with some notable new (for them) nastiness ('border security','uncritical support for Israel to defend itself', etc), though I suppose uncritical support for Israel is not new.
I think that's really not the most pertinent part of what is communicated here
i'm not paying to read some bullshit on why someone thinks 'of' makes sense in place of 'have'
