Harris is a continuation of the Clintonian dynasty and its “winning” strategy of triangulation, which is why both parties keep moving further right.

This, then, is a lie. She supports the bipartisan border package that trump killed.

If that's true, then trump has done more harm reduction in the last four years than biden

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.

Aunt Jane. (I prefer 'Aunt Sally', but apparently it's Jane.)
yeah really undermining the whole "harm reduction" thing
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.

Liberals: 
harm reduction
Read 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.
We don't need a fucking wall.
No we don't, the wall does pretty much fuck all to stop illegal immigration. However, aside fom the fact its just her signing a bipartisan bill and not her own policy, there's an election going on and VP Harris needs all the votes she can get.The wall is just a shiney thing to distract some idiots into voting for her. When the alternative is a party that wants to "deport millions" I'll take throwing some money at a big stupid wall over the alternative.
She is not going to gain any votes from building a wall, literally anyone who wants a wall is going to vote for Trump.
Tailism is bad, mkay?
Its not only trump sycophants that think a wall will stop immigration. There are plenty of undecided voters with little to no understanding of immigration and the policy associated with it. Granted, a wall is a simple minded/uninformed persons idea of a solution to illegal immigration, but that's kinda the core populous of undecided voters isn't it. If you want the perfect socialist candidate to reform US politics I'm afraid you're gonna be waiting a long time, dont let perfect be the enemy of good. We have yo start somewhere and the immigration bill has a fair amount of real and effective reforms in it.
