    She has not been tough on immigration though, and her economic policies have been crap. And yes, the culture war issue is a big concern, I am sure not only for me but also for centrist Democrats.

    Trump is a p***y ass b****. He is scared of a girl. He let a woman take his baby nuts and squeeze them hard he probably **** himself. Now he has chicken out of a 3rd debate.

    Another reminder that border crossings are now lower than they were pre-COVID after the Biden executive order. This order has many of the same features as the bipartisan bill that was stopped in Congress by Republicans and which Harris supports and has pledged to try to get passed again and sign if she is elected.

    I’m not 100% behind Harris’ economic policies but compared to blanket tariffs and just more tax cuts that Trump is proposing I’ll take Harris. Also the Biden Harris administration actually got multiple infrastructure bills passed with projects being built while Trump had multiple infrastructure weeks.

    What really makes the difference though is that not only do we have people who were cabinet officers and even VP for Trump say he is unfit for office and a threat to the Constitution we saw him actually try to undermine our election system and the tradition of peaceful transition of power. The other stuff is important but if we allow our democratic republic to be critically undermined the American experiment is over.

    Methinks you are wildly overstating what the boomers are doing.

    My guess is that there are people of all ages that do not care to debate policy and would rather be entertained by social media. This perfectly explains why SCWs like/vote for Trump who is not a Blue Collar Billionaire, who is not a Christian, who does not live in Small Town America, who tells them what they want to hear while taking money from their pockets, ...

    When you believe in things
    That you don't understand
    Then you suffer
    Superstition ain't the way

    Why does Karl Rove and the WSJ hate America? MAGATs should run not walk to unsubscribe to the WSJ (all three of them that actual subscribe that is.)

    Karl Rove/Wall Street Journal:

    A Catastrophic Debate for Trump

    He was angry and fixated on the past, and he failed to define Harris or her policies.

    Will this debate have an effect? Yes, though perhaps not as much as Team Harris hopes or as much as Team Trump might fear. But there’s no putting lipstick on this pig. Mr. Trump was crushed by a woman he previously dismissed as “dumb as a rock.” Which raises the question: What does that make him?

    Boomers are sharing baseless Facebook memes as if they're gospel and believing absolutely everything they see on the internet

    I am 100% certain we were told (lied to again and again) that the president could do nothing about it because the Republicans refused to help. But now that he can after letting millions in?

    I accept politicians lie about everything, but lets stop pretending the current administration (including Harris) are empathetic debbie do right.

    Told by who, and told what, exactly? Can you post a quote or link or something?

    Feel free to have selective memory.

    Why did the Biden administration wait 3 years to solve this problem?

    They've ditched the robes in favor of blue suits. And the pitchforks for social media.

    I'm not following press conferences and punditry statements relating to immigration as closely as you, apparently.

    Anyway, I did some searching and I suppose this is what you're referring to:

    PolitiFact | Ask PolitiFact: Can Joe Biden ‘shut down the border’ on his own?

    Biden said that the bipartision border bill under negotiation would have given him an emergency authority to stop border crossings. That is true, it would. Did he have that authority otherwise? Debatable, according to immigration law experts. The border bill would have made that authority more definitive.

    I do think you can legitimately criticize the administration for not treating the border more urgently and for not issuing an executive order that would (likely) see challenges in court as happened during the Trump administration and would be unpopular with some segments of his base. I think the greater scandal here, from a democratic governance standpoint, is that Republicans (who profess to care so much about the border) were unwilling to vote for a bipartisan bill to address what they consider to be so urgent because Trump told them not to.
