Well....... I think that you advocacy of unbiased social inclusion, is both admirable and liberal.

I share the same liberal principles of social inclusivity, but principles grounded in a knowledge acquired from a more moderate/realistic view of human nature.

In so much as the management of acquired data relative to any aspect of our social systems, is subject to an inevitable personal discriminatory process.

We perceive differences, we think, we make relative judgements, we conclude, we output or we store for later.

If that's what you believe, then politicians would say, "X policy disproportionally harms democrats/republicans".  I still don't think they should do this, because the president is president of the whole country, not just their base.

What's the point of appealing to people who literally want you dead

Because it’s your job as president.  Plenty of people want Biden dead, yet Biden didn’t give vaccines to just his voters; he gave them to the whole country.  A president can’t treat people different base on ideology(no matter how extreme); he represents the whole country.

Biden won presidency, so he does represent the whole country.  But he is trying to appeal to the right, he isn’t gaining any of their support, and he’s losing left wing support.

If he ended the deportations, his approval rating would be in the 50s.  If he legalized weed nationwide as well, it would be close to 60%.  But he’s governing as an authoritarian conservative, and the right won’t back anyone except Trump.  The left sticks to their values more, so they disapprove of Biden.

He's deporting more people than Trump; he's not legalizing weed.  He's an authoritarian conservative on these issues.

since when did not legalizing weed automatically equate to "authoritarian conservative"

It’s big government and right wing to oppose legalization of weed.  It therefore is an auth-right position.

True, but he also deported more people than Trump.  Biden is a centrist.

Yes he does.  Biden could open the borders for blue counties tomorrow and prohibit ICE agents from deporting people in blue counties by executive order.  But he won't because he's right wing on social issues, even if he is left wing on the culture war.

social issues are the culture war

ALSO, deportations are higher because illegal immigration is higher. Duh

So did Obama, are you going to call Obama right-wing now as well?

On immigration, Obama was right wing.  On immigration, America has the center right democrats and the far right republicans in terms of policy.  Their rhetoric is different.  But no matter who you vote for, you will get deportations of the undocumented.  The undocumented should therefore stop supporting democrats.

That's like saying Criminals should stop voting Democrat because more arrests are made as crime rises, when everyone knows Criminals get to run free in the country after a few days in jail and a pinky promise to never rob people again under the compassionate Democrats.

It makes sense for murderers to support democrats because republicans want them dead.

But people in jail shouldn't vote at all.  I don't want to give a child rapist or a murderer the right to vote.

That's why Democrats set them free. A cheap way to purchase a vote at the expense of society. Same with illegals.

How someone votes can't be used for or against them.  This would be like mandating abortions for poor females because their kids are future democrat voters.  Not even libertarians want to mandate abortion for the poor to prevent America from going left.

I'm unsure if I would let the undocumented vote, but them being a left-wing group can't be used as a reason for not letting them vote.
