Joe Biden’s Cruel Border Shutdown Follows in Clinton and Obama’s Footsteps Too
The Intercept really needs a new editor.
Because you don't like the truth?
“I think it’s so important to understand how immigration enforcement has been a pillar of the Democratic party’s governance for three decades,” activist and scholar of border imperialism Harsha Walia told Intercepted podcast in February 2021, when it was already becoming clear that Biden’s tenure would hardly see the undoing of the border regime.

I feel this person knows what she is talking about.
No, because they mixed up "parties'" and "party's" and didn't catch it, along with a couple of other weird writing quirks and clunky usages. Also it's a pretty messy headline. There's also a lot more descriptive and poetic language than is actually helpful for getting their point across. Like to the point that it's wandering into New York Times levels of fluffing the length with flowery language. The writer could have used a couple of notes that they clearly didn't get.
I agree with the writer's position on the DNC's failure to find their compassion and humanity on immigration. It's the editing that needs work.
Apologies, I am just very used to seeing knee-jerk reactions denying Biden's culpability for his actions, and clearly I've developed some knee-jerk reactions of my own that I need to work on.
