Why do the democrat leadership always push for right-wing causes, when they aren’t in the Republican Party for a reason?

The person being nominated is considered the leader of the party. At least it has for as long asbI can remember. Number 2, while I understand she may not have said those exact words, Biden’s border bill is basically a Republican bill that only was killed to make Democrats look bad.

Tightening the amnesty and refugee quotas won’t make it better. Acknowledging that this whole border crisis is manufactured would do more.

Fox and the rest love to lie about how much asylum seekers get paid, bur will never give that money to the people that they promote are missing out.

Finally, moving to the right is normal campaign strategy, but there was no push to the left during the Primary stage. This is just going from center right to more right. Because Biden never was on the left.

There is absolutely a crisis at the border, just not the one that conservative media has manufactured.

He’s pointing out that using “Democrat” as an adjective is a weirdly Republican thing to do.

Why is dealing with a huge and chaotic influx of migrants a right-wing thing? What would be moving “towards the left” on this issue?
