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.
Acknowledging that this whole border crisis is manufactured would do more.

There is absolutely a crisis at the border, just not the one that conservative media has manufactured.
The bill in question gave billions to ICE, CPB, US martials, and others to hire more officers and increase detention capacity.
If the purpose of the bill was to process immigrants so they could legally stay in the country and get jobs with papers and all, they wouldn’t spend billions building cages for the immigrants in the country or shut the border down, making things worse for the ones already stuck outside the border.
He’s pointing out that using “Democrat” as an adjective is a weirdly Republican thing to do.
Specifically, when I did some real analysis on the question, less than 10% of lemmy posters who talk about Democrats do it by saying “Democrat” as an adjective, and there’s significant overlap between those posters and the posters that are saying that people shouldn’t support the Democrats (claiming that the Democrats aren’t far left enough to deserve support from the left).
Why is that? IDK, man, it’s a mystery. I can draw a up a little diagram for you; maybe we can figure out the mystery together.
A lot of Americans even get the Democratic/Democrat verbiage wrong so implying they’re not American is… meh?
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?
Addressing the causes of the influxes (supporting terrorists/coups any time a south American country elects someone left of hitler) in the long term, and the actual migrants in a humane way by letting asylum seekers into the country until their claims can be addressed as international law requires, and providing job placement and housing all migrants need, instead of throwing them in cages.
