Sure, they flew migrants to 'sanctuary cities' - remember the panic on Martha's Vineyard when a few of them showed up and remember how quickly they were shuffled away by the virtuous inhabitants of that island - to demonstrate the magnitude of the problem. They were very vocal about it and did it out in the open, inviting press and publishing widely about their intents. That is not what I referred to. I was referring to the secretive night flights ordered by Biden's government, something along these lines:
a subpoena of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) [...] identified over 50 airport locations, including our nation’s capital, used by DHS to help process into the country more than 400,000 inadmissible aliens through the administration’s unlawful Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan, and Venezuelan (CHNV) mass-parole program. The program was officially launched in January 2023, and the documents obtained by the Committee cover the period from January-August 2023—accounting for roughly 200,000 of these individuals.
> This is moronic. Farmers receive the most subsidies, is the RNC buying their votes by enacting policy?
Apart from the fact that both parties are in on the farm subsidy racket - the main difference being that the 'democrats' specifically target 'farmers of colour' through the 'black farmer relief program' [1] - there is a clear difference in that those programs have been going on for decades while the 'student loan debt forgiveness' scheme popped into existence at just the right time to attract voters for the upcoming elections.
And yes, of course my post is biased, I am after all playing devil's advocate to defend the 'effective' Biden presidency in ways most likely not intended by the parent poster.

And? You are aware that promising to do things for voters that aren't being done yet is not exactly a Machiavellian scheme. It's how a policy gets started. Do we just not do anything because that would be new and scary? It's a response to the growing balloon of college costs and lack of opportunities for degree holders. Being $100,000+ in debt for no payoff is a scam, not debt relief.
I know you're pretending to play devils advocate but you are transparently being critical of politicians doing the bare minimum of their job because they have a D next to their name. Devils advocate means you are taking a position you don't agree with for the exercise of it. You are making bad faith statements about a party you visibly hate.

So you think they're both buying peoples votes unethically, but it's worse for the DNC because they're black. Got it. As if white people aren't the most catered to in politics.
