‘To beat Republicans, we must become Republicans!’

I agree. The Dems should be more openly right. They should also stop suing leftist parties off the ballot, since they’re not going for those voters anyway.

Democrats cannot appeal to those on the extreme left or extreme right. Take a centrist view and they will appeal to most Americans.

Most Americans are not in the center, and in trying to appeal to everyone they end up appealing to no one.

But this conversation is over 10 years too late. The Democrats moved to the far right long ago, which is why they’re so rabidly anti-immigration and pro-genocide now.

If Biden was so anti-immigration, why did he permit so many illegal migrants that Governor Abbott of Texas bused them to sanctuary cities?

Because Abbott’s illegal human trafficking was a political stunt.

Just check the numbers. Biden and Obama deported wayyyy more people than Trump or Bush.
