So we're just going to hash this out every single day for the next 2 years, huh?
Edit: I do find it interesting how many replies to this comment are vague enough that you can't determine which side of this argument they're on, but I guess I did start it myself.
And yet still in 2028 we're going to have people arguing between the milquetoast Democrat and a republican who wants to make camps for undesirables and telling anyone left of center to stay home.
And we're also going to have any centrist telling people that they should've spoken up before, while telling people to shut up, and accept the inevitable milquetoast Democrat now. I remember how much we used to make fun of FOX News for whataboutism. How the hell did the Democrat voters become the party of "What about Trump?"

It's not "what about trump" it's "vote for the person closest to you or get the one the farthest away"
I could give a fuck less about trump, and I'm going to be hungover the day after he chokes to death on a hamburder. I care about advancing left wing goals, and crying you didn't get your way and staying home only hurts that.
Grow the fuck up and actually understand how electoral politics works in this country, because it seems you lack a basic understanding of how the two party system works. We have 2 viable options for the presidency, and people need to come to grips with not getting their perfect candidate because perfect is the enemy of good. If you don't believe me, look around and tell me what of the current trash fire would have also been done by a milquetoast dem?
I understand the US electoral system very well. For example, in the WV Dem primary, Bernie won every single county, and 40k more votes than Clinton. Which is why Clinton won the state. And it does seem to be "What about Trump" since you can't give me a reason to vote for a milquetoast Democrat without including Trump in your equation. Also, both Obama and Biden deported way more immigrants than Trump, so if you're trying to harm reduction, Trump is a better option for that. Stop letting Democrats that want to increase funding for ICE, the border wall, are for regime change wars, and deport more immigrants than Trump be the spoiler candidate.

Man, I can't wait to come back to this statement at the end of the year, DaMummy. I'm sure the guy who is mass rounding up random people (instead of rejecting people at the border) and murdering people in the street will TOTALLY be the harm reduction president, no matter that 2025 was the deadliest year ice has had since 2004, trump is about ✨harm reduction✨
The fact that this and bitching about Bernie after 10 years is your primary argument tells me you're not worth conversing with. I wanted Bernie to win and I was mad about it too. But keeping your hardon for Bernie is only harming the causes you say you support. At least the right is open about their hatred for their fellow man, you're hiding behind being upset at the system and arguing that this fucking president is about harm reduction at all, which is laughable.
Please do come back. I would prefer after his 4 year term, but I don't know if lemmy will be around, or either of us(....and one other guy) but just to set a standard, how many deportations were there under Obama, aka, Deporter in Chief, and how many were there under Biden?
Biden had more raw numbers, but can you tell me who was incarcerated, picked up off the street or refused at the border in those numbers?
If you're comparing raw numbers and not what each one is, I don't care to continue the argument because you're focused on one statistic that can be used disingenuously (as it is here) to conflate two different ways of handling things. Because if you think 1 border return or incarcerated person is the same as someone being snatched off the street, your opinion is meaningless to me. I'm not defending any one of those, but comparing them is dishonest as hell.
You have no idea how infuriating the truth of this meme is.
Elections are not the time and place for democracy, that's some tankie shit. If you want to make your voice heard, do it any other time. Not during elections. It's just not right.
