    I’m parsing through this, but I think it’s worth establishing where the goalposts even are at this point.

    You’re clearly going for a gotcha here, so help me understand what the gotcha even is.

    Is deportation inherently bad? What is a “good” number of deportations?

    Let’s even just assume you’re correct, why would Biden having a higher number of deportations inherently be worse?

      The gatcha is that electing a democrat like Biden or Harris won’t solve the issue, at best it’ll the same on deportations/deaths from ICE. More likely, deportations would be higher, with not much less of ICE deaths. So when someone said that it wouldn’t be this way, it’s fun to pop peoples bubbles and show them the specifics without the narrative. I’m not saying it would be worse or better, just pointing out that electing someone with higher deportation numbers won’t stop deportations, electing someone that drops more bombs on Muslim countries, and starts more wars, won’t end wars, and someone that raises more, even twice more, corporate money for their election won’t get corporate money out of politics. Yes I know, goal boasts blah blah, not the subjects, whatever.

        The issue of unidentified masked men being emboldened to violently kidnap and disappear people off the street? You’re really gonna pretend this incident would have happened under Biden or Harris? That’s beyond absurd.

        deportations would be higher

        And as I asked you already, so what? Why is the raw number of deportations the gotcha? Do you not understand that isn’t at all what people are complaining about?
