Rationale people:
"Moderates":
Yet when Biden gives Republicans everything they want like with the border, suddenly it's justified because some Republican voter somewhere has a 1% chance of voting D for the first time in their life.
Just weird how it works definitely
There is actually a border problem, and actual fixes for it are Congress’s job. They are the legislative branch. And Biden worked with them to come up with legislation to fix it, and they came up with bipartisan legislation that was basically a lock to pass, but then Trump suddenly told the Republicans to tank it in order to hurt Biden (I guess you missed that). So he is doing one of the few things that the executive branch can do to address the border without legislation, to do something to address the real problem. And lo and behold, the GOP plan of tanking it has worked: you think Biden is giving Republicans everything they want.
Just think what else you’re blaming Biden for or mischaracterizing out of ignorance.
That legislation was everything we criticized Trump's immigration "policy" for. Don't mention it like it was a big glorious feat of statesmanship only for it to shot down by republicans.
And, yes, Republicans saying no to the things they always wanted because papa said so and accidentally voting for the right thing is very funny.
