Sure. Let’s pick out immigration. On Israel you kind of have a point, although refusing to vote against Trump in this election because you’re concerned about the Palestinians is kind of like shooting the family dog in the head because you’re concerned its food might not be good enough. But you also brought up immigration, so let’s delve into that in a little bit of detail.
So there are two big problems in immigration in this country:
There’s a huge backlog of asylum / deportation cases which means people stay in custody in racist and oppressive overcrowded prisons
We’re rate limiting the people coming into the country (see point #1), which means a lot of asylum seekers who are trying to do it legally wind up waiting for months (maybe years now, IDK) on the other side of the Mexican border, basically just living in a big, dangerous, squalid, crime-ridden open-air field with no facilities for life, and no job, no medical care for anyone no matter how young or old, it’s fuckin dangerous
There’s also a problem that the whole agency in charge of the border police is for the most part made of racist people, but that one is unfixable unless Biden can fire the whole agency en masse and then find 40,000 people who want to be immigration police who are not racist. So, unfixable. The other two problems do have legislative solutions, but the Republicans block anything he does, even when he tried promising to do some cruel or racist things as a compromise in order to get them to also agree to some badly needed things (mostly, increasing ICE funding so they can at least house the people they have in better conditions, and increasing the number of judges to process cases so people don’t wait for a year before their case is heard).
And, any time he tries to do anything about it, e.g. reducing the rate of people allowed to come across the border, or increasing the number of judges to reduce the backlog, or increasing funding for ICE, everyone on the left as far as I can tell thinks he’s just being cruel on purpose for no reason and gets really mad at him.
So: What should he do? You are angry at him because he is deporting a large number of migrants who have lost their cases. What should he do instead, to improve this situation?

Guess who can hire and fire the head of ICE and CPB? As the head of the executive, he is responsible for its actions, just as Trump was and Obama before him.
What should he do
Appoint a head of ICE that will fire every single officer, terminate every contract and sell off or destroy the assets before Republicans get in power again. Hunting down immigrants is an objective evil and ICE should not exist.

With how easy it is to guess talking points, and how easy it would be by looking at law to say “If X is Fired, Y is the most likely next outcome”, I think your simulator could actually be made.
Not this shit already this early in the morning

This is where I want the simulator again
