What is your point here? That he did it for the election? So what? It still addressed the core problem by reforming the asylum process which is the important part. Well, for those who actually care about the situation at the border at least. For someone like Trump the important part is being able to wield it as an election issue.
Yep. However he wants to spin it, someone pushed for something, the other against. Wanna just call it politics? Okay, fair enough. One person stopped the thing he wanted, the other was trying to get it done regardless of why. The material result changed.
again, both are trying to wield it but you're giving biden all the asspats for doing nothing for 3+ years and trying to squeeze it in at the last minute
Like I said you can criticize Biden for acting late on it but at the end of the day he had a bipartisan bill hammered out that addressed the core problem at the Southern border and Trump killed it purely to help his chances in an election year. Even Thune, the incoming Senate majority leader, said at the time that you couldn't expect a stronger bill even from a Republican Senate under a Republican President. And that's because it had buy in from mainstream Democrats.
And I do. Biden paid the price for not giving a shit until the 11th hour of his presidency and reelection.
I do not disagree that the left in America could have some success in America specifically on those issues, especially in regards to economic & workers right issues, however I do not think that it would be as successful as some suspect, absent identity politics. Healthcare is the absolute biggest issue that the left should be doing better in and even then it is an incredibly hard sell to American's who actually do have decent health insurance. If healthcare is so contentious, I generally believe then that a push to the left is NOT what this country wants (which is different from what this country needs)
Biden absolutely completely f***** up the border and they were sleeping on a major problem that was really happening. Democrats should just admit that and do better in the future.
I was told Biden took steps to strengthen the border on day one.
He did BUT failed to respond to the surging crisis. He deported more people than trump as a raw number and a percentage.
These 2 charts indicate otherwise.

Going with the numbers from your article and the number of crossing from the chart I posted, Trump deportations as a percentage are much higher than Biden's. But I guess there's not much point to bickering about it. Glad you see how badly they fucked up.How many people did Obama, Biden and Trump actually deport?
President elect Trump has threatened to use the military to enact his mass deportation plan — but how does his track record compare to his Democrat rivals?
This link says otherwise and I think it's more accurate but it doesn't matter because I'm not denying that the Democrats totally f***** up.
I was told that too.
Can't read that due to the paywall but I don't think the hardcore MAGA support really decided the election, those people were never very likely to vote democrat anyway.NY Times: How Trump Won, and How Harris Lost
How Trump Won, and How Harris Lost
He made one essential bet: that his grievances would become the grievances of the MAGA movement, and then the G.O.P., and then more than half the country. It paid off.www.nytimes.com
