Kamala Harris pledges to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on the wall along the southern border — a project she once opposed and called "un-American" during the Trump administration.

Ffs can we stop with the middle ground centrist bullshit and actually do some good with some "progressive" policies.... You know the "progressive" that is barely left of center anywhere else in the world.
They never will. What they call 'progressive' policies don't make anyone any money; and don't advance anyone's hegemony. And with these crackers, that bar is in Hell.
The worst part is that adopting a tiny modicum of "progressive" politics would actually make them (the country as a whole, but also the bourgeoisie) more money in the end, just based on the fact that you can't run a capitalist society in any meaningful sense if your working class can't afford to live (and thus make surplus value available to the owner-class). More public transport would make it hella easier for a business to recruit a workforce from places with lower rents and further commutes, more money in the pocket for consumers means more consumption, etc. etc. There was that survey a few years back that showed that if wealth were to be redistributed fairly, the average American would be almost twice as rich.
The problem is really that certain segments of capitalist society would not be so overwhelmingly powerful, and easing up on military adventures would mean a resurgence of workers rights in many parts of the world.. It's not enough to be the richest country if you can't also make the rest of the world poor.
Harris is a continuation of the Clintonian dynasty and its “winning” strategy of triangulation, which is why both parties keep moving further right.

Oops didn't mean to! /$
It was a debate
Liberals:
harm reductionRead the fucking article. There's at least some harm reduction compared to what the Republicans want and the status quo.
The bill, which Murphy described as a "compromise" also included provisions with more money for asylum lawyers and judges for the overloaded immigration system.
This is what we actually need. More money for judges and attorneys and whoever else is involved in the asylum process in order to more expeditiously get through the massive numbers of migrants. And people need to remember that a lot of these people are refugees. Fleeing for their own lives and those of their children. A lot of Americans need to remember that these are people.
They're no different than you or I. We benefited from our ancestors mostly being able to come willy-nilly into the US and now we want to close the door? It's frankly anti-American.
Give us your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.
Aside from the Native Americans, that is all of us. Every single one of us. It's like boomers who ruined the housing market and the economy pulling the ladder up behind them, but worse.
We need more resources put into this so we can better determine who to let in and who to send back and to do so within a reasonable timeline. We have the money for that. The US is not hemorrhaging cash. But it sure is hemorrhaging humanity when it comes to refugees.
So this is the internal politics dems are supposedly better than reps? Lol it's just
as usual. Also what is the woman equivalent of Uncle Tom?yeah really undermining the whole "harm reduction" thing
Also what is the woman equivalent of Uncle Tom?
Aunt Jane. (I prefer 'Aunt Sally', but apparently it's Jane.)
She said she would sign the bipartisan immigration bill, even though larded with a ton of bullshit, including 'the wall' as a portion. And the headline is "She flip-flopped and wants to build Trump's wall?"
Hack journalism at its best.
Yeah its about ethics in corporate journalism, not about who wants to build walls and kill immigrants
She’s literally supporting signing a bill that funds building the wall. How is that not going back on her opposition to the wall? Not to mention the wall is probably one of the less egregious parts of that bill.
Clown country
This, then, is a lie. She supports the bipartisan border package that trump killed.
Unlimited illegal immigrants on the first world!
So your saying the immigrant problem is actually a bunch of stupid insane white man emojis. Perfect response for this bullshit sub.
