I just don't think the Ds actually do harm reduction. Biden and his DOJ had the Epstein files and they did literally nothing with them. And that's just the clearest example of the enabling they do. Obama and Biden expanded ICE into what it is today and created the policy framework that Trump is using, but Biden did nothing to address it when he was president. He just opted not to use it, knowing full well what the Republicans would do because they were literally publishing treatises on what they would do. The Democrats are harm reduction like the Good Cop has your best interests at heart.

    Electing the ones who opt not to use ICE the way Trump uses ICE is an example of harm reduction. It doesn’t mean Democrats solve all problems; that’s literally the reason the term “harm reduction” is used - to distinguish it from optimal solutions, while still acknowledging its superiority over the alternative.

    No, I'm sorry but that's not what harm reduction is. What you are saying is that the Bad Cop will hit you while you're cuffed to the chair and the Good Cop will come in and apologize for it. But the Bad Cop will come back and do it again in an hour. The cops are colleagues, and they work together. The Good Cop is not harm reduction. The Good Cop is manipulating you. And it's obvious. Again - Biden was VP when the policy framework for expanding DHS and ICE were created by him and Obama. Together they deported more people than Trump. Obama/Biden was the first administration to appoint Homan to be the deportation czar. Trump appointed him during both of his terms. Biden took power and had the knowledge, the experience, and the power to change DHS/ICE policy but didn't. Biden and his DOJ had the full suite of Epstein files but did nothing to stop or even slow down Trump.

    It's time to face the facts. The Democrats are collaborating with the Republicans, despite all the noise they make to the contrary. They are manipulating you in a classic psychological ploy, and the only thing keeping it going is that people are falling for it.
