And I didn't say free--I said government healthcare (and thus taxpayer subsidized)
As for illegal border crossings:

Even Jeh Johnson (Obama's former DHS Secretary) objects to this:

The level of
cognitive dissonance to pretend everything that goes against your "facts" is wrong is quite startling
It's literally:
Biden: I want to decriminalize illegal border crossings and give these people free healthcare
You: No no. He didn't actually say that. It's just a right wing talking point
Biden: No I actually want all that
You: No he really doesn't. Stop making up conspiracies
And seeing Biden's "handlers" comes from
having a functional brain (unlike Biden) and seeing that Biden is in no mental state to lead a country and unlikely to make it four years:
Even over 50% of Democrats believe this: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8613893/Poll-reveals-half-Democrats-dont-think-Joe-Biden-serve-four-years-elected-president.html
And then on top of that he was really never the sharpest tool in the shed to begin with and is getting a fiercely ambitious and strictly establishment running mate who keeps referring to a "Harris Administration": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KGgQKp2kXY
And the comparisons with Dubya are not hard to see

All before even mentioning the overwhelming advantage Biden has in PAC/special interest money: https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2020/07/dark-money-network-joe-biden-superpacs/
(though Obama had this over Romney/McCain too--it wasn't this big then)
Bernie Sanders has given me far more than just his policies to draw those comparisons:
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/will-sanders-long-ago-praise-socialist-regimes-hurt-democrats-november-n1139811
"On his Nicaragua visit in 1985 Sanders sat down with leader Daniel Ortega, whom he later called "a very impressive guy." At the time, human rights activists had documented serious abuses by Ortega's government." (It's one thing if he was President and negotiating and had to work with Ortega like FDR with Stalin, Obama with Castro during the thaw or Trump with Kim--this is his sentiment with no political gain)
"In 1989, Sanders visited communist Cuba and lauded the country's "free health care, free education, free housing," while dismissing the government's holding of political prisoners by saying Cuba was not a "perfect society," according to The Free Press of Burlington"
"Last year, pressed at a televised town hall by CNN's Wolf Blitzer, Sanders refused to call Venezuela's leader, Nicholás Maduro, a dictator. He has declined to recognize opposition leader Juan Guaidó as Venezuela's legitimate leader, as the U.S. and most of its allies have done. He denounced what he called a "coup" against Bolivia's leftist president, Evo Morales, despite findings by independent groups that Morales tried to steal an election."
""I was very excited and impressed by the Cuban revolution," he said in 1986, adding that he became sick to his stomach when he heard Democrat John F. Kennedy discussing ways to overturn that revolution in the 1960 presidential debate with Richard Nixon."
https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2019/05/bernie-sanders-pro-sandinista-past-problem.html
"The Times shows that Sanders went well beyond mere opposition to funding the war. He wrote to Sandinista leaders that American news media had not “reflected fairly the goals and accomplishments of your administration.” On a visit to the country, he attended a Sandinista celebration at which the crowd chanted, “Here, there, everywhere, the Yankee will die,” and complained that American reporters ignored “the truth” about Nicaragua’s government, telling a CBS reporter, “You are worms.'”
And then of course there's Bernie's idol Fidel: (again said while he was not President or Secretary of State negotiating--just his honest opinions)
https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/24/politics/sanders-defends-castro-cuba-comments-cnntv/index.html
Praising his literacy program--this literacy program: https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/yes-bernie-sanders-castro-s-literacy-program-was-bad-thing-ncna1145001
"I was forced to learn how to read and write by teachers who brainwashed me while teaching me how to write the “F” for “Fidel,” the “C” for “Castro” and so on. The "education" under a socialist regime is probably the most malicious of their programs, because it is — to the eyes of people like Sanders — an unalloyed, irreproachable social good, and yet it is one of the most essential tools of indoctrination and repression. There, according to Che Guevara’s teachings, as a small child I was taught to hate different ideas, looks and behaviors.
The Cuban educational system is not a "literacy program" but a tool of indoctrination, designed for the creation of the “New Man” — one who is removed from what we would recognize as Western civilization’s values, who is intolerant and ready to kill in order to impose the revolutionary ideology. And it starts with those ABCs."
"Such a militarized state has guaranteed the Castro dynasty’s power over half a century — not, as Sanders asserted in his 1997 book, because "he educated their kids, gave their kids health care, totally transformed the society." The truth is that Cubans still live in a state of fear — even terror — and consequently are poorly organized in a weak civil society."
And as for the slaver comment--it's worse to me than the deplorables for its race baiting divisiveness and fear mongering--the same kind of rhetoric Trump uses but to a different demographic and in an even more obvious way--and confirms what I already suspected:
All these "moderates" and "Republicans" on this board aren't fooling anybody. If this poll were held in 2012, the results would be the same spread between Obama and Romney and the posters would be calling Romney a white supremacist, threat to democracy, authoritarian monster, slave owner, and saying it's treacherous/unpatriotic to support him---Biden confirmed it in those words
The same "courtesy" would be applied to anyone right of center (no matter how slight)---whether McCain, Huntsman, Romney, Paul Ryan, etc
And then after they die or criticize a Republican, these posters will talk about how they "always respected" that Republican because he was honorable--even as they called him an evil segregationist when they actually ran (see McCain)
That's the significance of the slaver comment and an explanation of how a political divide deepens
