    Things liberals care about: Project 2025, Trump impolite, Biden have bad debate

    Things liberals don’t care about: Biden’s genocide in Palestine, Biden caging children at the border with Mexico, Biden doing eugenics by ending all covid protections, Biden abandoning trans people, Biden doing nothing to protect abortion rights, Biden refusing to do anything about inflation because his corporate puppet masters benefit from it, Biden funding nazis in Ukraine and attempting to start WW3 with China,

      I love the Biden cages thing. It shows how ignorant people are because they only read headlines. Every president detains unaccompanied minors. Are you saying you’d rather us leave children alone in a dessert? What we do is pick them up and house them until we find the closest relative in the USA. This is almost always done in <2 weeks. Please read the article and not just the headlines.

      Edit: yes, there was a surge where kids were briefly detained outdoors while they were being transitioned to a more stable housing situation (while we still searched for relatives).

        If every president cages children, doesn’t that mean that the USA is fundamentally evil and should cease to exist?

          The less evil option is to let them die alone in a fucking desert? That’s really the hill you want to die on? Letting kids wander around alone in deserts instead of helping them?

            Maybe the USA could stop destroying their home countries so they feel no need to leave? Do you think they actually want to come here?

              Dodging the question. When you find a child in the middle of the desert, do you abandon them or house them?

                I definitely don’t put them in a concentration camp like biden. I also try not to destroy their country in order to enrich my corporate puppet masters.

                  Ok, so you let the kids die alone in a desert? That’s fucked up.

                  Again, for the record, almost none go into the cages for more than a couple hours. But again, you’re more of a headline type so you probably stopped reading this comment by now
