Also, the “liberal” media has been hell-bent on scaring people on the border. Truth is, a lot of moderates are concerned about the border. And they determine elections. As president, he is expected to address people’s concerns.
The genocide is one that I can’t get over. I understand the bill that got Ukrainian aid. But he won’t even call it a genocide. Even with Rafah he backpedaled.
I honestly like or at least accept the majority of Biden’s term. But Gaza has been a disaster that he continues to botch.
What’s there to like? The further militarisation of the police? The expansion of Obama’s child caging programme? Housing crisis? Funding Nazis in Ukraine?..
Generally he has leaned progressive when he can. He doesn’t when he can’t. That’s literally all you can expect from him. I’d rather him win the election and continue to do as much good as he can than lose and let Trump do as much damage as he can.
That’s a pretty damned huge exception. Also, the dumbass wall. Also a they’re a lot less restrictive to asylum seekers. Also, he tried to undo Trump’s covid immigration executive order, which got blocked by courts. Actually, they’re quite different. In fact if you think Biden’s policies are bad, you better hope and pray Trump doesn’t get back in.
Less restrictive on Asylum seekers? They can’t just cross the border anymore. The BP lets a small number in every day, leaving thousands of people at the mercy of Mexican drug cartels while they wait to cross. They wait to cross because Biden didn’t restore the international standard of declaring asylum on the soil of the country in which you want asylum. Instead he’s trying to force asylum seekers to use an app and visit American consulates in the country they need to flee. And forcing them to stay in the country they need to flee until we tell them it’s okay to leave.
Nothing about this is humane or legal under our own laws or international treaties which we’ve signed and ratified.
Biden undid the covid order in a way he knew would be struck down by the courts. The exact same way we got Trump’s muslim ban struck down. Unlike Trump’s Muslim ban he did not try again until he also made the asylum policy above where anyone availing themselves of the old way gets summarily denied and deported.
He did all of this in plain view and you can’t be assed to find the actual actions, just their PR releases.
This doesn’t mean that 73% don’t care.

He doesn’t seem to care about people’s concerns over the genocide. He picks and chooses which concerns he addresses.
While you and I may care, and a lot of young college folks care.
Your “average” American could give shit less about what is going on in Gaza. If they even have any clue at all about it.
Cynicism. A majority of Americans disapprove of Israel’s actions in Gaza. 55% disapprove to 36% approve.
If this goes on until November it will only get worse, but Biden doesn’t care.
Biden doesn’t care because he knows he’ll keep more votes than he loses by supporting Israel.

He’s the one directly supporting it and making sure it happens. How’s he gonna call it a genocide?
Offer void for progressives’ concerns.

I’d rather people who are happy with him adopting Trump’s policies quit acting like anyone who has any criticism of him at all is a Trump supporter.
This is far from Trump policies. And nobody said you were a Trump supporter.
He’s literally continued Trump’s border policies with the exception of family separation.
That’s a pretty damned huge exception. Also, the dumbass wall. Also a they’re a lot less restrictive to asylum seekers.

Edit: How could I forget DACA.

The OP is about an executive order to crack down on asylum seekers.
Yes, he is limiting the number of asylum seekers. Yes Trump is going to be infinitely worse if he’s elected.
How is it not? He’s doing the Muslim ban but for the Mexican border
Progressively doing genocide.
