    It’s only what a plurality of what Americans want because a plurality of Americans is a collection of easily misled idiots. The fact that Democratic leadership decided to also run with the complete falsehood of “Migrant Crime” and feeling like we need to lock down the border is absolutely appalling. The correct thing to do would be to deconstruct this myth of violent immigrants, and campaign on expanding immigration judge positions to move through our backlog of cases quicker. Instead they amplified false propoganda that the Republicans made up.

      They’re ignoring the people who could be convinced to vote D in favor of Trumpers who will never vote D.

      It’s just terrible strategy, especially it results in republicans going further right.

      I like the sentiment, but I think it’s been peddled so long that I think it would take too much time to dispel. It’s one of those things that I feel was said so many times over the years that even people with more sense started to believe it.

      I think they’re meeting people where they are, in hopes to pull some people from the other side. Because obviously the people who understand that the whole thing is BS are already voting for Harris because the alternative is insane.
