That they should abolish (or at the least push for drastic, dramatic reforms, not promises of gradual reform maybe someday during election season but a mass movement, amendments, political action, pressure groups, etc) such a system rather than participate and kick the can down along the road.

Also that their rights will be taken away regardless if they're going to lose them.

Biden has done nothing to reverse what Trump has done, he postures, he does a few meaningless policies but at the back of it all he doesn't value the lives of those people you claim to care about because he won't stack the Supreme Court, because he and Kamala and the rest of the Democratic party are not interested in actually fighting the Republicans. Their theatrics that Trump is Hitler 2.0 shows them to be either people who want to enable Hitler 2.0 because they obviously aren't fighting tooth and nail and are quick to condemn someone trying to kill him (when let's be honest, most of us wouldn't condemn a person who shot at Hitler) OR people who don't truly believe that but know it's good branding. Either way they're not a party worth voting for, worth endorsing or worth considering as a real option to protect the vulnerable in this country or any other.

Fact is Republicans do the dirty deeds, Democrats put some peace paint and pride symbols on things but don't undo those dirty deeds. During Trump's term pundits and the Democratic party sobbed and wailed about "kids in cages" on the border and yet when Biden continued it? Nothing but silence. And Kamala's campaign is ramping up and leaning into that border racism by the way.

the person you're responding to is making the generic liberal assumption that biden's policies are too far progressive to ever hurt anybody's life and trying to make the point that i'm being dismissive of what trump and republicans are trying to do.

i have receipts so i already know that they're merely towing the party propaganda line; but thank you nonetheless for articulating these points.
