Most of your points have nothing to do with this issue, but ok. Yeah she signed the bill, so did most Democrats, only to have Republicans back out of signing their own bill. One side is working with others and trying to accomplish something beneficial, the other side is crying about a border issue and then tanking any attempts to address it. None of that equates to the false narrative that Harris is flip-flopping on the issue.
I'm confused what bill are you two talking about that a vice president with sign?
Honestly I have no idea what they're referring to either. It was Congress that handled the bill, not something that ever crossed the desk of the president or VP. I think Trumpers are just desperate to accuse Harris of something, anything, so they've been making up a lot of crap to see what sticks. I mean yeah, Harris has a sketchy record when it comes to Palestine and it's difficult to know how that situation is going to play out. I even had one of them accuse me of cherry-picking my data because I dared to link a Palestinian newspaper which made the case that under Harris things would be bad, but under Trump they would be dead. It's pretty obvious how desperate they're getting though when they're arguing that Harris must have made up her childhood because she claimed to have grown up in a town that neighbored where she was born... apparently they've never heard of this weird concept where people actually move.
Just guessing but the VP is the head of the Senate and casts any tie breaking votes there. Not sure if that happened here but it's how the VP can get involved with "signing" stuff in the Senate.
Ah interesting to know!
Signing the bill makes it their bill. The fact that you are defending it and saying “trying to work together” like if it is a good thing. Working together for what to build the wall and kick out expats? You guys are really in a cult
So the Republicans created the bill, then made ulterior demands when they saw that Democrats were willing to help secure the border, but now suddenly it's a Democrat bill because the Republicans didn't sign their own bill when daddy Trump told them to jump? That's some mighty interesting hoops you're jumping through there.
Yes. That's the problem. "Securing the border" is complete bs. That Harris and the dems are pushing the false "border crisis" narative is bad. They should be criticized for it.
You mean putting people that try to come in cages like Biden has done in his entire time in office, even more than Trump. Democrats are way worse in immigration than Republicans so much that Obama was called Deporter in Chief.
It is their bill because they are literally signing it. If they had any principles, they would not sign it. If you cannot see that, I am honestly wasting my time with a Democrat cultist.
