    When my elderly father makes demands we usually nod and agree to make him happy, then ignore it.

    I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt for now.

      It’s from a month ago. They didn’t want to bring it up then because it would help Talarico. Now they post non-linked quotes with no date.

    There’s basically no one in politics that is an “open borders” anything. There are some, but not many, people who want full open borders. Saying you’re going to be aware of the border security and being willing to fix the issues with it currently seems pretty normal to me, borders do matter to the very vast majority of American voters.

    Y’all are acting like Trump was ever interested in “fixing” the border. Or even attempting to reform it.

      Democrats have a multi-decade history of doing these kind of things. They talk one thing in the primaries to keep the disenfranchised voters lured back into the party with hopes of change, only to make a 180 the moment the polls close.

        Talarico saying he’s willing to work across the aisle is old news. It’s also being used as fodder to cause infighting on the left. The bots got your nose, buddy. If Talarico does anything that hurts ordinary people, I’ll be the first to condemn it, but I’ll believe it when I see it and not because some Russian bitch bot posted old news from CNN with a bullshit byline. This is the left’s greatest flaw - gullibility.

          You seem to be conflating democrats with the left, we are not the same thing. What liberal perceive as leftist infighting is us correcting democrats that they are not on the left.
