How utterly silly. Imagine the delusion to set a deadline for answers from people who don't work for you and owe you no response other than a form letter.

Speaking of delusions, what's with this talk of "wide open borders"? I don't dip my head into the conservative new bubble enough to know what they're talking about. Did Biden bulldoze Trump's glorious wall that definitely got built?

Actually, he's building more, only because it's already earmarked for the wall, and he couldn't get the funds re appropriated. About the open borders thing. It's been one of their claims for years. Get ready, it's almost time for the every four year immigrant caravan to approach the border. Better vote conservative, or they'll tek ur jerbs!

Exactly. They keep throwing around the term "crisis at the border" as if there's some new impending catastrophe that only voting Republican will solve.

I just wish more people pushed back and said "What do you mean a wide open border? Didn't your guy just fix that? Oh he didn't? Then why would you want to elect him again?"

It's an implicit threat. It's clear that if they don't give him an answer that satisfies him, and the only such answer is that they will support Gym, then he will turn all the MAGA voters against them.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
