Hmm....I wonder if there are any things Biden and the Democrats could do to guarantee people voting for them in 2024.



Nah. It's the voters' responsibility to be scolded or guilted into voting for Democrats.

quote:

Murphy said that Democrats have ditched their big-tent mantra since taking over Washington, and that it’s imperiling their majority. “My first term … there was a lot more tolerance for, ‘Do what you need to do to hold your seat, and come back because we’re trying to build towards [a] majority,’” Murphy said. “With us being in the majority, that tolerance eroded a bit. It’s unfortunate, because I think in order for us as Democrats to hold the majority, you have to be able to win in seats like mine and in redder seats. That means you have to cut your members a little bit of leeway to vote their district. This march towards party unity is going to be detrimental to our ability to lead.”

For Murphy, it started like this: Some on the left accused her of being “anti-immigrant” for backing the GOP-authored “Kate’s Law,” a proposal to increase penalties on people who are convicted of crimes, are deported and reenter the U.S. illegally. “I believe in immigration and comprehensive immigration reform and the ability for people to immigrate to the United States in a legal way,” said Murphy. “But I also believe in law and order, and ensuring that we hold people who commit crimes accountable.”

But it got worse when it came to trying to pass Biden’s agenda, and what Murphy called an effort by leadership to “beat moderates into submission.” “I can’t tell you the number of times I said, ‘You can’t keep promising rainbows and unicorns when your political reality is such narrow margins in the House and a dead-even Senate,’” said Murphy. “They took the difference between rainbows and unicorns and political reality — which is anger and disappointment — and turned that anger and disappointment against their own members.”

The only thing that changes is what the leaders consider 'the left' to be. It now includes things like 'having a functioning government'

It's just not believable when "the left" doesn't even have a little bit of power and the few people who you could reasonably claim are part of it are doing 100% of what the party wants.

They're not trying to convince anyone of anything. The reflexive blaming of the left is their own rationalization for having unified control of government and somehow still never being able to get poo poo done.

Orlando Weekly posted:

But more importantly, Kate's Law bolsters penalties for undocumented immigrants who want to re-enter the United States even if they have no criminal history, which includes people who are seeking to apply for asylum and even those who have permission to re-enter the country. ...

Kate's Law also unnecessarily imposes harsh penalties for petty misdemeanors like loitering or driving a car without a license, which can now lead up to a possible 10-year prison sentence for immigrants. ...

But arguably the worst part of this bill is that it blocks immigrants’ ability to challenge prior removal orders, which is a clear violation of the constitutional right to due process, says the ACLU.

looking back and forth between the two quoted passages and squinting

even from the bill summary

HR 3004 posted:

The bill provides that an alien who has been excluded, deported, removed, or denied admission, or who has departed the United States while under an outstanding order of exclusion, deportation, or removal, and who subsequently crosses or attempts to cross the border into the United States, shall be fined, imprisoned not more than two years, or both. ("Crosses the border" refers to the physical act of crossing the border, regardless of whether the alien is free from official restraint.) ...
https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/3004

Establishment Democrats already generally say Republicans are anti-immigrant for not wanting a pathway to citizenship, referring toward undocumented immigrants, but it only becomes beyond the pale when it is directed internally at Democrats
