      You didn’t ever say what makes the dems too far left? Is it the lip service to trans people? Spending a lot of money? DEI?

      And if any of those are the reasons, you’re not only a coward for burying the lede, but you’re also extremely wrong about everything lol

        For example, immigration. Biden allowed a flood of illegal migrants to enter the country. A centrist view would make it tougher to seek asylum and permit illegal migrants already in the country to stay if they meet certain criteria and apply for a green card.

              Biden let in a flood of illegal migrants. In contrast, Trump closed the border and is deporting all illegal migrants.

              Source? As everything I saw showed him cracking down hard on immigrants just as hard as Trump.

              A centrist view would be to make it tougher to seek asylum

              That’s a violation of international law… That’s very far from centrist.

              allow illegal migrants who meet specific criteria to stay in the US and apply to stay.

              And Dems would have to move left to reach that.

                Remember governor Abbott of Texas of busing illegal migrants to cities outside of Texas. Democratic Senator Ruben Gallego of Arizona would make asylum tougher. From https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/gallego-unveils-immigration-plan/ar-AA1EDI4k

                It would also place new limitations on asylum — a protection sought by many migrants who claim they are fleeing persecution or danger. Gallego’s plan would raise the standard to obtain asylum protections — which is something also sought by Republicans, who argue the protections should be harder to gain.
