Bidens republican immigration bill goes nowhere so he decides to float his own version of a Muslim ban?

    The part of the base that this anti-immigration move will anger is the same part of the base that’s already angry about the genocide.

    It’s like he’s trying to piss them off specifically and as much as possible.

      If the part that’s going to be pissed off is less than what could be won then is the risk worth taking? Some campaign manager must have thought so or this appeal against his own base is a terrible gamble.

        Yes I’m sure he’s not just doing this on a whim, but we’ll see how this pays off in November.

        If he loses it’s his fault alone.

          Nah they’ll blame the people he alienated. They did it for Hillary, they’ll do it for Biden. They block anything remotely progressive and then wonder why progressives don’t run to the polls for them.

            I blame Hillary and the people who didn’t vote for her. They still had a choice. And it was a dumbass choice they made.

            Edit: If you don’t vote for Biden, and Trump wins, you are culpable. That’s literally how voting works.

                If you say so.

                But voting is literally how we decide who is in power, and it cost nothing. SCOTUS being hijacked by radicals is a direct result of the 2016 election. Everyone got together and decided (through the Electoral College) that Trump was the person to lead us. Everyone had a voice. Some chose not to use that.

              No, pretty sure it’s everyone who doesn’t find supporting genocide a big enough deal to seek another path for the election. Everyone supporting Biden now is responsible for propping up a bad candidate.
