Today was an important day to be paying attention. In many ways, we seem to be going backward. Only our votes can ultimately change that. Senate Republicans blocked a measure that would have created a federal right to contraception access today. That seems like it should have been noncontroversial. It’s 2024. But it was not. It failed to pass, with Republicans saying the legislation was both unnecessary and government overreach. I suppose it’s only unnecessary if you don’t care about the right to contraception going the same way as the right to get an abortion.
How does baiting republicans into a trap constitute a change in position on immigration?
Democrats’ last known position on immigration is what they baited Republicans with. They’ve been acting like it’s the reasonable option. In addition, Biden’s been limiting asylum and kept Trump’s “remain in Mexico” policy.
Also, please refer to a specific past immigration policy by democrats that you’re referring to by “what it was”.
Well, DACA for one. Far as I can tell, nothing has been done to try to protect Dreamers since a conservative judge killed it. But considering the Democrats are now counting as policy successes things they freaked out about when Trump did them, yes, Democrats have moved to the right on immigration. They will never move back because Democrats don’t move to the left.
Well, it pretty hilarious that you insist bait is an official policy position, esp since it’s never been declared.

The endless and constant obstructionism and attacks by republicans? The ones that have been fought by Obama and Biden, not to mention dems in congress?
If you don’t see what has been done, it’s because you are intentionally ignoring the evidence.
Don’t come back to me with these ridiculous arguments, blaming Democrats for the non-stop fascism of the GOP. That gaslighting won’t work here. Anyone who doesn’t have a Fox News Drip directly into their brain is aware of this. You’ve given yourself away.

Oh declared policy positions? Like how they totally want to raise the minimum wage or revisit the public option or codify Roe? Declared positions are no better than campaign promises, and it says a lot that you expect me to take them at face value instead of the actual actions of our elected officials.

Then provide some. DACA was struck down in 2021. What have our elected leaders done since then for Dreamers? No, I won’t accept “You don’t KNOW?” as a fucking answer. I won’t accept pledges or statements or declared positions or anything other than an actual attempt to do something. Because the attempt I’ve seen was to enact Republican policy and they haven’t done anything at all to walk that back.
Since you’ve decided not to read what I posted and just post a standard dismissal instead, I’m glad that this conversation has reached its conclusion with your concession that you were wrong.
So Democrats’ position on immigration has returned to where it was, or are they still doing shit Republicans wanted?

Funny how you keep blaming democrats for the crap republican and keep doing.

What a vivid imagination you have, lol
Condescension is what centrists do when they’re wrong.
It’s why it’s practically all they do.
