      Ignored? Biden did try to reunite with their families the migrant children who were caged under Trump’s first term. Some couldn’t be found because of the Trump administration’s lax recordkeeping, but they didn’t just ignore them. That’s just a lie.

          If we’re talking about the cells that were built during the Obama administration as temporary holding cells, which Trump then used to permanently hold migrant children who were separated from their guardians by his inhumane policy, then yes, there were no children being held in those cells by the end of 2024.

          It’s all liberals know how to do. Cannot for the life of them take responsibility. Blame the left for their failure while using the right as a boogeyman to force compliance.

          Sorry, couldn’t answer your question because I don’t live in an alternate reality where trump didn’t win. Maybe ask some of the other people here?

                “You see we need to keep the Gastapo, parliament passed it so why stop it?”

                I understand Harris can’t write bills as president, you dingus. A president has sway over their party. What Biden wanted, Dems pushed. What Trump wants, Republicans demand.

                If Harris, a brown woman said “Hey ICE is a racist police organization made post-9/11 to go after brown people, let’s push to get rid of it” that would spark movement in Congress.

                  So Harris would have kept ICE then…

                  Then why the fuck are you confused about my answer? Sounds like you are disappointed by the fact that Harris was not all of congress as well?

                    Gotta make sure everyone knows that voting is pointless and that all the marginalized groups would’ve died even if Harris won. That way no one who refused to vote on such lofty principles as ‘it takes too much energy to vote, and it doesn’t change anything anyway’ doesn’t have to feel bad.

          No cages is obviously the ideal case. Fewer cages is obviously better than more cages, which was the choice at the polls.

          “I don’t believe in voting” fine, enjoy the more cages option.

            But the cages didn’t go down with Biden. COVID was ignored under Biden. Trump wanted these things and Biden kept them. It’s not lesser evil, its incremental evil.

            I also didn’t say anything about not voting. I voted for Harris. I’ve proven it before and I will proven it again if needed. It was useless here in California but I did it anyways.
