    The moment Joe Biden is president these kids will be considered privileged white crybabies trying to sabotage Biden's re-election with their suffering.

      and the politically correct term of "immigrant detention centers" will return with the media not covering it anymore.

      Obama broke records for deportations and yet the media never talked about it. As a result, the conservative media with FOX were able to run stories for years about him "letting the illegals in! bringing in MS-13 and drug cartels!".

        I voted dem on my congressional candidate cause Ron Estes is a monster and had to vote for a blue dog senator cause the guy she is running against is a blood and soil fundamentalist. Wrote in 18 judge and sheriff spots because the Democrats in my state just don’t even field candidates for shit like that.

        I had no greens I could vote for. Nothing. Kansas really fucking sucks

          Feel that. Half my ballot was republicans in uncontested positions. That's cool you had the option to write in though

    You're not allowed to talk about Biden and his role in the cages.

    Hell, I'm getting flamed for pointing this story out on reddit: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.newsweek.com/joe-biden-not-opposed-amy-coney-barrett-says-she-seems-like-very-fine-person-1535156%3famp=1

    No shit, someone is trying to tell me I'm taking his quote out of context because he also said that she shouldn't be confirmed before the election.

    Like are they ok with her being confirmed after Joe gets in?

    im not voting for biden, and i would not encourage anyone to vote for biden. he does not represent any sort of meaningful "harm reduction," let alone actual good.

    but as stupid as the phrasing is, there is at least some point to the idea that a biden administration could, maybe, curtail the child seperation policies and concentration camps that the trump admin expanded. theoretically anyways.

    so, given the option, would people in cages vote for the candidate that might release them from the torture? probably. people do crazy shit when you torture them.

    given that, how weird would it be to claim your vote for partially-declawed outside-cat is representation for the songbirds in your garden, in the race against also-an-outside-cat? :bean-think:

      Biden isnt going to stop vast deportations. He'll just give ICE a bribe to maybe not do extremely illegal shit

        no, obviously not. but he might put a stop to the worst abuses maybe if its politically convenient to do so. which is uh... somehow supposed to be inspiring i guess?

          I mean the fact that they're guaranteed money no matter who wins but they're still being violent assholes shows the deadend of Liberalism

            trump: maybe the police shouldnt have to be so nice when they arrest people they decide not to murder.

            biden: we must give additional funding to police and maybe train them to shoot people more betterer.

            police: we are being victimized.

            :stalin-stressed:

            edit: literally every issue is like this. the whole thing is a farce between fascism and also fascism

    It's not really unbelievable. She moved to the center after getting elected and she has seemingly always moved to defend the Democratic party at the end of the day.

      Like what fucking kind of moral high horsing is that shit? You’re voting for the guys who was in the administration and built them and deported more people than any president, even Trump
