US Authoritarianism

What a load of crap.

One party admits global warming exists and is attempting to deal with it, highly ineffectually. The other advocates for accelerating our extinction.

One party advocates for personal freedoms, ineffectually. The other thinks The Handmaid's Tail is a good idea

One party is trying to help elevate the pain of student loan debt. The other likes having a middle class in chains.

You are cherry picking your pet issues as if it's a holistic view and it's horse shit.

One party, as ineffective as they are, is hands down better then the other.

Everything you complained about Biden doing will be massively accelerated by Trump.

I don't think biden is putting more effort into arresting immigrants. I think its just that biden is having an easier time of it.

Most federal policies are monsterous. Arresting immigrants for immigrating to a country founded by immigrants is a bad thing. Most people are compassionate, and US border policy is not.

People are far more likely to resist a president like trump, who is so enthusiastic about doing the horrible things every government does. During trump we had sanctuary cities regularly in the news, and states and local governments refusing to cooperate with federal law enforcement. Trump put an ugly face on ugly policies.

Obama and biden knew not to say the quiet part out loud. They have competent administrators running every department, and they are smart enough to not lead chants about how much they love deportations, so they had a much easier time of it than trump.

Not this shit already this early in the morning

Sure. Let's pick out immigration. On Israel you kind of have a point, although refusing to vote against Trump in this election because you're concerned about the Palestinians is kind of like shooting the family dog in the head because you're concerned its food might not be good enough. But you also brought up immigration, so let's delve into that in a little bit of detail.

So there are two big problems in immigration in this country:

1. There's a huge backlog of asylum / deportation cases which means people stay in custody in racist and oppressive overcrowded prisons
2. We're rate limiting the people coming into the country (see point #1), which means a lot of asylum seekers who are trying to do it legally wind up waiting for months (maybe years now, IDK) on the other side of the Mexican border, basically just living in a big, dangerous, squalid, crime-ridden open-air field with no facilities for life, and no job, no medical care for anyone no matter how young or old, it's fuckin dangerous

There's also a problem that the whole agency in charge of the border police is for the most part made of racist people, but that one is unfixable unless Biden can fire the whole agency en masse and then find 40,000 people who want to be immigration police who are not racist. So, unfixable. The other two problems do have legislative solutions, but the Republicans block anything he does, even when he tried promising to do some cruel or racist things as a compromise in order to get them to also agree to some badly needed things (mostly, increasing ICE funding so they can at least house the people they have in better conditions, and increasing the number of judges to process cases so people don't wait for a year before their case is heard).

And, any time he tries to do anything about it, e.g. reducing the rate of people allowed to come across the border, or increasing the number of judges to reduce the backlog, or increasing funding for ICE, everyone on the left as far as I can tell thinks he's just being cruel on purpose for no reason and gets really mad at him.

So: What should he do? You are angry at him because he is deporting a large number of migrants who have lost their cases. What should he do instead, to improve this situation?
