but when it comes to stricter border controls, they’re all ears for some reason.
well there’s a really obvious reason for this one.
Currently the border asylum processing chain is incredibly swamped, up the point of multiple years of backlog, which is why temporary status citizens are a thing. Though not to the same degree as the UK. The whole point behind border control and immigration policy is to fix this problem, actually push the asylum cases for these people through, and get them real citizenship (or not, and get rid of them, that’s how it works.)
This is arguably a human rights issue.
So, the Democrats don’t listen to the majority of voters when they want free education,
we have free state education, primary education only though. Republicans want to get rid of this, i don’t think you’ll see kamala harris saying she doesn’t want it. Though free secondary education is obviously the implication here, i figure it’s worth pointing out.
Medicare for All
biden has done numerous things for healthcare in his term. Same for obama, though again, not universal socialized healthcare, so not really the implication but it’s worth noting.
or an arms embargo on Israel
i’m not going to talk much about this because i keep getting banned over these topics for some reason. But idk how much popular support there is for this one, i haven’t looked at polling, i wouldn’t be surprised if it was a popular position though. That very well might be the case, however if you’re asking why the US is supporting Israel, the answer is that it’s militarily strategic. That’s the unfortunate but real answer there.
primary education only though
Wait, yous don’t even have free secondary school? I know America has an infamously terrible tertiary education sector, but I thought high schools were publicly funded at least.
no, elementary through highschool is state provided, k-12 as it’s referred to. College/university (the same thing here mostly) are not and are private institutions separate from the government.
High school is considered primary education here. (at least by me, take it with a grain of salt)

Ah, right. So, this terminology is actually pretty standardised and high school is secondary education, with primary school naturally being…primary education. Though there is a little ambiguity around the edges, for example:
It’s of particular note because the phrase “tertiary education” universally refers to post-school education like university or technical colleges, and it wouldn’t make sense to have tertiary education if there was no secondary.
