i stand corrected, but the spirit of my criticism of Biden, AOC, and all democrats stands. they are not "the good guys" of history and current events. and it's impossible to argue they are a "lesser evil" unless youre a soulless ghoul just tallying small variations in metrics across administrations.
Participating in the process & voting for the “lesser evil” is necessary. Those who chose to sit out 2016 collaborated in the creation of the christofascist SCOTUS supermajority, dooming at least a generation to devolution of rights & protections.
i believe 1. leaders are responsible for leading 2. leaders should be good and do the right thing, not be evil (or "lesser evil") and do the wrong thing
I appreciate your zeal for a perfect world. The problem is people do not agree on what that perfect world entails, nor how to attain it. I would love to wave a magic wand to get there. That is not an option.
We had made progress in expanding rights & protections. We are backsliding currently.
i strongly believe that in order to try to mitigate let alone turn around social and ecological collapse, we need strong belief and strong action. all the law, financial system, social relations, every common practice and institution - it's just people in nature, Humans on Earth. rulers suppress us.
"The total number of repatriations over the Biden administration so far stands at approximately 4.7 million, much higher than both Trump and Barack Obama’s presidencies"
Typical misleading use of a link that actually illustrates the opposite of what you are claiming.
The VAST majority of people denied access at the border during the Biden administration was due to Title 42/Covid restrictions, which Biden unsuccessfully attempted to end in 2022.
So now we're comparing repatriations done by the book to fascist gestapo rounding people up in the night and deporting them without process? Also 'repatriation' covers both removals AND returns. How many of these 'deportations' were actually deportations?
