Ffs can we stop with the middle ground centrist bullshit and actually do some good with some "progressive" policies.... You know the "progressive" that is barely left of center anywhere else in the world.

Harris is a continuation of the Clintonian dynasty and its “winning” strategy of triangulation, which is why both parties keep moving further right.

Read the fucking article. There's at least some harm reduction compared to what the Republicans want and the status quo.

The bill, which Murphy described as a "compromise" also included provisions with more money for asylum lawyers and judges for the overloaded immigration system.

This is what we actually need. More money for judges and attorneys and whoever else is involved in the asylum process in order to more expeditiously get through the massive numbers of migrants. And people need to remember that a lot of these people are refugees. Fleeing for their own lives and those of their children. A lot of Americans need to remember that these are people.

They're no different than you or I. We benefited from our ancestors mostly being able to come willy-nilly into the US and now we want to close the door? It's frankly anti-American.

Give us your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.

Aside from the Native Americans, that is all of us. Every single one of us. It's like boomers who ruined the housing market and the economy pulling the ladder up behind them, but worse.

We need more resources put into this so we can better determine who to let in and who to send back and to do so within a reasonable timeline. We have the money for that. The US is not hemorrhaging cash. But it sure is hemorrhaging humanity when it comes to refugees.

She said she would sign the bipartisan immigration bill, even though larded with a ton of bullshit, including 'the wall' as a portion. And the headline is "She flip-flopped and wants to build Trump's wall?"

Hack journalism at its best.

Yeah its about ethics in corporate journalism, not about who wants to build walls and kill immigrants

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

She’s literally supporting signing a bill that funds building the wall. How is that not going back on her opposition to the wall? Not to mention the wall is probably one of the less egregious parts of that bill.
