I'll add on to some of your points to really hammer it home more

The Democratic party didn't slow immigrant deportations or quiet the rhetoric about needing a "strong border" to protect the USA from "illegals".

The Biden admin's AG argued to the Supreme Court for the right to indefinitely detain migrants, and got it (but they're called 'migrants', not 'aliens'. Yay.)

Peaceful anti-genocide protests were met with college/university administrators, local police, federal agents, and Democratic party politicians immediately attacking the civil rights of students and supporters.

The official stance of the Democratic presidential candidate was that Israel has the right to self defense (read: continue their genocide).

The Biden administration keeping the war in Ukraine going well after it was made obvious that Russia wasn't going to be easily repelled.

The US has sent 183 billion in aid to Ukraine, has always walked away from peace talks, and was likely behind the sabotage of the Nordstream pipeline (Biden himself said in public they would prevent its construction, and US ships were in the vicinity shortly before it exploded)

So I wonder who this piece is for?

"Pro-Harris Democrats", to help them feel better about themselves after they also backed human garbage.
