      Anyone who would vote to limit immigration is so anti-American that I cannot believe they are listened to at all.

      I recognize the reality of it, but it’s just a bag full of insanity to me.

        You’re dissatisfied with your party’s actions and wish they would listen to their left?

        Do tell.

          By your metric, Fetterman might have irrational and un-American constituents, but they’re the folks who put him in office, unfortunately.

          I agree. I dislike them, not him. He’s doing his job.

          I may disagree with his position, but I don’t dislike him as a person.

      It’s the same with the kids in cages thing, like this is what America is, and what it must do to maintain its position in the world. You have to be anti-American to sincerely criticize it. The political system absorbs and mediates the outrage so the system can maintain itself. Biden committed more funds to the border wall and immigration policy still puts kids in cages, and it always will so long as America is what it is. Climate change and mass migration will require America to become more harsh, just like the European countries who let the migrant ships sink with families drowning in front of their eyes. Party politics can point the blame so nobody has to feel guilty.
