And I have no argument with that. This policy, with these qualifications, made in this way, IS Biden appeasing and buying votes.

MY point? Is that the democratic party is in deep, unsustainable, unconstrained political debt to its base and that, considering the behavior of their counterparts, fuckin' paying down their tab is far and away the best possible move they can make.

These votes aren't being "bought." They're fucking OWED. They've been owed since NAFTA.
