Making it harder for migrants to qualify for asylum and deporting more recently arrived migrants are considered “low hanging fruit” and actions that can be taken quickly.
Yup. DNC is, as always, laser focused on the tiny sliver of the electorate between the most conservative Democrats and the least conservative Republicans while completely disregarding the tens of millions of ideologically disenfranchised potential voters to the left of them. Same as they’ve done since 1992.
It produces ridiculously narrow (considering that the alternatives are always idiots, obviously corrupt, or both) presidential victories and congressional majorities at the best of times, but this time I’m afraid it’s going to cost them the presidency.
And, despite the propaganda from them and their blindly loyal party soldiers, if that happens, it will be THEIR fault, not the fault of the voters who they simultaneously alienate and take for granted.
If voters actually care about policies and the border is a major issue then it’s a smart political move. You essentially pull the rug out from the republican party and leave them nothing to work with, cause they voted against border policy changes recently.
The issue is that I’m not sure voters care. It’s become so hard to understand if any of this positioning matters or if democrats would just be better off doing what the Republicans do and just try cram through legislation regardless of whether they can actually pass anything.
They always try to appeal to the right while punching left. It’s no wonder liberals are supporting right wing candidates like Biden. They’ve moved so far to the right in their pursuit of right wing voters they’ve become one of them.
Yup. Election year, Biden’s beginning his shift to the right.
