[quote=Anonymous]"Biden immigration is bad"

But who today is running campaigns on anything like "open borders?"

Nobody

Our problem is not our own stance on issues, it's false and dishonest GOP framing of our stance on issues.

For example, I think we need secure borders, and I think we should deport violent criminals.

BUT I also think ICE has seriously abused its powers and is terrorizing American communities, and I think we need serious visa reforms so that we can legally import the labor we need, so that we can legally provide shelter to refugees who genuinely need it, and so on.

BOTH of those things are true.  But Republicans lie and reframe it.

It's a shitty dishonest rhetorical framing that keeps happening over and over like if you say "hey, it's pretty horrible that the IDF just blatantly shot a journalist in the head in Gaza" you instantly get accused of being pro-Hamas and an antisemite, when that's not actually a true or logical conclusion to jump to.  One can in fact be both anti-Hamas AND critical of Netanyahu.

There's zero conflict, zero hypocrisy, unless you have a completely stunted brain incapable of understanding anything other than a stark binary (in which case I feel sorry for you because the real world is anything but stark binaries).[/quote]
