The Debate From a Slightly Different Perspective

[Hortensis]

11. Thanks. That is an interesting view that mostly expands on mine

and a fun image.

The only thing I raised my eyebrows at was the notion that Biden would give Gabbard any position. Imo, she's...an odd peg who fits nowhere, refuses to play ball, and is about as reliable as a badly cracked bat, a living mixed metaphor. Even Bernie Sanders refused to have her when she tried to join his campaign, in spite of bringing impressive creds of taking public a really nasty and terminal squabble on the DNC. If she loses her congressional seat, even with her family backing she may have nowhere to go in government, except perhaps the Republican Party.

Fwiw, I don't care right now about candidates taking positions on whether crossing the border illegally should be a felony or a misdemeanor, or either depending. That's because congress is going to have to completely overhaul our border and immigration laws, policies and personnel after Trump/Repubs are out. A Democratic-controlled congress is going to have to make them sensible, just, and humane and write them tight and detailed to make as sure as possible that they cannot be twisted by evil people to claim crimes against humanity are "legal." And we know they all agree on that, so we're good.
