This "doctor" is clearly a Russian troll /s
Throwing my vote away would be voting for someone whose policies I find to be despicably evil.
I deleted my comment after I saw your exchange with Zaktor. I didn't mean to beat a dead horse. Props to you for hearing him out.
Biden is legitimately bad on immigration. See the articles I cited above. He's just better than Trump. He's a lot better than Trump, to the point that it is not easy to withdraw my support because of his support of genocide. I am truly fearful of the consequences for my family of another Trump term. But whatever happens to us, it will be a mere inconvenience next to what families in Gaza are suffering.
Have you been under a rock the past 6 months? That's precisely what Biden has been doing. And no, I'm not voting for Trump, either. There are candidates running who aren't genocidal ghouls.
My consience will be clean
Cornel West or Jill Stein probably
If Biden keeps sending weapons to Israel while it systematically starves 2 million people, you and him are going to be in for a nasty surprise come November. I will not vote for genocide, and there are thousands of other democrats who feel the same way.
I have family who are undocumented, and yes, I do have an issue with what he said. They are not "illegals." It betrays the same lack of caring that manifests in policy as Migrant children in open-air desert camps are suffering from hunger and hypothermia, court documents say and 'No good options': Biden admin has no plans to change how it treats Haitian migrants despite outrage from advocates. Replace "illegal" with any other pejorative ethnic term and maybe you'll understand. It's seriously not cool, which is why he walked it back later.
The Guardian wrote:
Democrats and immigrant rights organizations said Biden’s use of “illegal” was dehumanizing. The Illinois congresswoman Delia Ramirez said she was “disappointed” in Biden’s use of what she called “dehumanizing rightwing rhetoric” to describe immigrants. “No human being is illegal,” Ramirez said. Another Illinois representative, Chuy García, added: “As a proud immigrant, I’m extremely disappointed to hear President Biden use the world “illegal”.
The National Immigrant Justice Center called the term “words [from] anti-immigrant extremists”, adding: “Manipulating a personal tragedy for political gain in this way is dangerous. Conflating immigration status with criminality is racist and dehumanizing.”
But u/mozz says it's nothing, so I guess we just need to eat shit and shut up. At least Biden had the decency to admit he was wrong.
You don't have an issue with Biden calling immigrants "illegals"?
Stop lying to support a genocide
