8. I don't think any Democrat really understands what border "security" is about.

It's turned into a racist wall to block out rapists, but that's not what it really is about.

It's about people who lost good paying factory jobs and now have to compete with an underclass of illegally imported labor while corporation.

The whole racist thing is a head fake. It does brings out the crazies, but it also distracts us from the economics.

And before anybody says, "they are just racists and always were," study how racism is used to justify economic exploitation, and how economic anxieties make people more racist. It's a vicious circle, and countries that ignored have paid a terrible price.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
