Stupidly polls show immigration is the regime's strongest issue rn, despite the public evil and stupidity of the whole enterprise. Just one of those issues where you have to say fuck public opinion and argue forcefully for the right thing, there's no triangulating to be done here.
They asked him if there was anything Trump was doing right. Bernie should have said:
"That's a stupid question because Trump is doing so much harm, why don't you ask me if there was anything some dictator did right while you're at it? Is your next question what Putin is doing right?"
If you agree with everything someone says likely one or both of you isn't doing any real thinking and that goes double for any celebrity or politician.
Trump is going to say something along the lines of "even Bernie Sanders agrees with me about the border" every single fucking week for the rest of his presidency.
If you want a spokesman for the vital fight against autocrats and for democracy, get out of the way and let him roll. Dems have no one better (except. AOC and some other House members) at this point. Picking everyone’s policy views apart while the whole thing is on fire is what got them this mess.
"...I happen to think we need comprehensive immigration reform, but I don’t think it’s appropriate for people to be coming across the border illegally.”
