You mean putting people that try to come in cages like Biden has done in his entire time in office, even more than Trump. Democrats are way worse in immigration than Republicans so much that Obama was called Deporter in Chief.
It is their bill because they are literally signing it. If they had any principles, they would not sign it. If you cannot see that, I am honestly wasting my time with a Democrat cultist.

Signing the bill makes it their bill. The fact that you are defending it and saying “trying to work together” like if it is a good thing. Working together for what to build the wall and kick out expats? You guys are really in a cult

She signed the bill
-
Her entire speech was to be tough on immigration. And let's not forget the classic "do not come here".
-
She is right wing. Democrats are right wing
-
She is complicit in genocide.
-
She put tons of people in jail the didn't deserve it, just for smoking weed and then laughed when they asked her about it.
-
She is a staunch supporter of Israel
The fact that you think that she is left wing is insane.
> **Why does the Biden administration support the Israeli genocide and war crimes** even in the face of virtually universal condemnation, at massive expense, and to the point of totally debasing the rules-based international order? Why do it? People fall back on narratives about the power of AIPAC in US elections etc., which is real but also doesn't capture the whole story. > > **The truth is that US capitalism depends on it**, and the US ruling class broadly understands this fact. The key thing to understand is that capitalist growth and accumulation in the imperial core (the US, Britain, Germany etc.) relies heavily on the appropriation of cheap inputs and resources from the periphery and semi-periphery of the world economy (broadly, the global South). They need the South to remain a subordinated supplier within global commodity chains. > > In order to maintain this arrangement, it is imperative for them to suppress sovereign economic development in the South. Because the "problem" with development is it means Southerners begin to produce for themselves and consume their own resources. This makes resources and inputs more expensive for the core, which constrains consumption and profits. **Economic sovereignty in the periphery threatens capital accumulation in the core.** > > To avoid this, the core states constantly intervene to prevent or crush any movement or government in the periphery that seeks national liberation and economic sovereignty. The US started to support the Zionist project in the 1960s, and invested heavily in the Israeli arms industry, with the explicit intention of using Israel as a staging ground—a massive military base—for counter-revolutionary interventions against rising Arab socialist and national liberation struggles in North Africa and the Middle East. The US could not accept the prospect of sovereign development in that region: liberation movements had to be crushed or destabilized and they used Israel to help them do it. > > **Israel is not an "ally" in the conventional sense. It is a proxy.** They support Israel for the exact same reasons that they have backed assassinations or coups against liberation leaders across the global South: Mosaddegh, Lumumba, Nkrumah, Allende, Arbenz, Sukarno, Sankara... Israel assassinates movement leaders in the Middle East and interferes in regional political processes, all in concert with the US, but it also constantly bombs the frontline states, destabilizing their societies and economies and forcing them to divert resources toward defensive spending rather than industrial development. > > **The Zionist project is intolerable** not only because it is murderously hell-bent on ethnically cleansing Palestine, but because it creates chaos and instability across the whole region. The core states used South Africa in the very same way. The key reason that Western powers supported the apartheid regime in South Africa – against overwhelming international condemnation – was because it served as a highly militarized Western colonial outpost that was geared up to run counter-insurgency operations not only within South Africa, but also in Angola, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Namibia, the DRC, etc., leaving immense violence and chaos in its wake. > > The vast majority of the world—and international law itself—supports Palestinian liberation, but Palestinian liberation would constrain Israeli power and open the way to regional liberation movements, and this is strongly antithetical to the interests of Western capital. **So this is the situation we are in.** The Western ruling classes are willing to back obscene violence in Gaza, and shred the liberal values they claim to believe in, because they want to maintain the conditions for capital accumulation and geopolitical hegemony. > > **You cannot appeal to imperial power in moral terms.** The only way the US will stop propping up the Zionist regime is when it becomes too costly for them to do so. This will come down to the strength of the resistance and regional political and military opposition, but also the extent to which people can coordinate boycotts, divestment and sanctions, and punitive measures under international law. I've used bold text for key points and separated the text into paragraphs for better organization.

After Biden's meltdown, the Democrats are hoping to reenergize people with a supposedly "progressive" pick for Kamala Harris' running mate.
The Kamala Harris campaign is using memes and celebrities to present her as a fun-loving progressive candidate. In reality, she represented the ugly face of the US' brutal and corrupt justice system as prosecutor. As Vice President, she has been an apologist for genocide, war, and anti-migrant policies.

It is not a pretend job. She is complicit. And even if it was, which is not, she has been side by side Biden supporting him as he carries out his genocide. Moreover, she is deep in AIPAC’s pocket. The fact that you believe there is any innocent Democrat in power is concerning.

There's an enormous gulf between asking nicely and spreading imagery that implies you want to literally murderer all Israelis.
Lmao, whoever wants to fight for Israel to exist is a fascist and rightfully deserves to be killed. Those who support Palestine get be a citizen of Palestine. And those who don’t support Palestine, but don’t fight against Palestinians can leave to where they came from.
Have you considered that the most effective action may exist somewhere between those two positions?
Fuck no! The only solution is for Israel to be dissolved and for fascists to die. You can’t have both Palestinian self determination and Israel at the same time. Israel doesn’t respect international law. Israel displaced and murdered millions of people. Israel makes Palestinian lives hell. Israel is a pariah state of settler colonial fascists and has to be dissolved.
