    Exactly what I’m saying, almost no one wants totally open boarders so people attacking Biden for not doing that are ridiculous.

    Left purity culture doesn’t care about reality, Biden has done reasonable things but it doesn’t matter because no one looks to check if they agree they simply assume that it must be bad because government bad. Biden bad, everyone but me bad…

    This is why people don’t say what they actually want, they don’t support anything - open boarders bad, restrictions on boarders bad, closed boarders bad… you can be against everything when your only defining principle is that you’ll always consider yourself more radical or better than anyone else.

      Exactly what I’m saying,

      I don’t think so…

      I’m saying when that is presented as what people want Biden to do, and anyone complaining about his recent illegal moves wants, it’s bullshit.

      It’s like when Faux News says Biden is a communist.

      The media does this, so that you think their views are nonsensical and you dismiss them without actually listening to them.

      You’re falling for it…

      Because you’re still acting that anyone against Biden’s recent border actions, could only want fully open borders. When literally no one serious wants fully open borders.

        Yes but the people complaining are largely people who would complain about literally anything - if its pizza for dinner then he’s bad for not making pasta, if it’s pasta then we wanted soup…

        Most people know it’s pointless to take them seriously because they’re not being serious, they’re simply trying to use the strongest words to condemn every single position and action he takes because their underlying self image is based on seeing themselves as better and more moral than the rest of society.

        This is hugely common, Christians do it all the time - im too holy and moral to have time to spare to participate in society… it’d a cop out and nothing more.
