I wonder what face we'd get if we asked the Republicans and corporate Democrats how they plan to pay for the tax cuts. Or the military budget, or the military budget increases

Granted, that stuff's more important than a child who gets cancer
did you watch the debates? there was no plan for a kid who gets cancer either unless they are a mexican asylum seeker

lol bernie's plan encompasses it. but yea, id like for asylum seekers to get healthcare as well.

props for calling them by the proper title btw (putting aside the nationality bit, since they come from a handful of countries through mexico)

lol i think i get what you're implying now. there's no cure for cancer (although there are ways to put some in remission, and extend people's lives)

you may have also been jabbing at biden, and if so, i can board that train. he's a mess

Even though that Jason and I don't agree overall, I think his point was how heavily skewed the debates were towards our actions at the borders. I'm all for taking care of people who need it and think that our practices currently are completely abhorrent and need to be changed immediately. But during the debate the focus was so heavy towards immigrants that it seemed like the best way to get healthcare was to be one of them instead of someone that's currently a citizen.

While it's great that they're at least feigning compassion they're putting so much emphasis on helping immigrants that it's going to play very very poorly with the average moderate that will feel like, once again, they don't matter to the Democrats because they're in the wrong electorate.

That's how we got Trump.

it is super hypocritical for all these democrats to suddenly act like they are appalled by what is going on at the border when the exact same thing has been going on at the border for the entire obama presidency.do things need to change.of course they do BUT obama deported more people at a faster rate than trump and that is conveniently forgotten .biden was right in there as guilty as anyone .trump didnt built these camps and he didnt invent ICE either that was bush jr. for the democrats to suddenly act like this is a huge crime by the trump administration is so fucking fake it is unbelievable .if trump is literally hitler because of this then so is obama. i didnt see any of these guys preaching open boarders when they were in power. the 2020 democrats are so far from the bill clinton or even obama democrats that they might as well not even be the same party . almost every item that was discussed at the debate had to do with illegals .free shit for people who are not even citizens. well what about the actual people who you are elected to represent? what about the citizens? free shit for everybody is a nice idea but is not sustainable at all.
