    The cop stuff is pretty overblown.

    If only people who agree with our current justice system become DA’s we’ll never fix our justice system.

    But between Harris and Obama… It’s really starting to look like Joe is some kind of vampire that sucks anything progressive from the people he spends time with

    Harris just keeps coming out and saying she’s against popular progressive stances.

    If anyone can recommend an actual leftist candidate to vote for instead let me know

    At this point in the game, voting for anything besides the main parties is throwing your vote away.

    If you want shit to be better, it means voting for Harris and making a shit ton of noise all the way to the next election in a desperate bid to drag Harris back to a position where the majority of people who would conceivably vote D dont hate her as a candidate.

      Has that ever worked before?

        It works for conservatives everytime people like you sit at home while they pull the Overton window further right.

            Not so good with the reading, are you?

            Dobbs is an example of it working for conservatives because they go out and vote instead of sitting around with their thumbs up their asses.

        Is Biden still running?

        Harris isn’t perfect, I’ve been saying it since she replaced Biden.

        But I’ve also been saying she’s still better than Biden, even after this recent push where she’s going back on what little people liked about her in 2019, she’s still better than Biden.

        The reason things improved, was people making a shit ton of noise.

        It works.

            And why did they abandon him?

            Because of one of the largest voter outcries in modern political history…

            Those same donors profit off our healthcare system.

            Which is almost assurdly why Kamala changed her stance on M4A. But Biden legitimately didn’t want M4A.

            So Harris is still an improvement, and if people keep up the pressure, donors won’t try to pull her more to the right. And we can maybe pull her left.

            Like, we’re 100% fighting the donors, we agree on that.

            But I’m saying we can’t stop fighting no matter what…

            And your strategy boils down to “has anyone thought about if we stop trying to fight donor influence?”

            I believe my path forward is more likely to result in the change we want, that’s where we disagree.

              I guess from my perspective I didn’t see much outcry towards Biden. He had a shitty debate but we all knew he is super old and was better than Trump anyway.

              I just don’t see how voting for someone is “fighting” what they stand for. If big donors dictate Kamala’s platform and we vote for her then we support the big donors. Whereas if leftists stand together and refuse to compromise they’ll be forced to come to us.

                You don’t watch any of the late night shows, don’t read any political articles, and just joined social media?

                It was literally everywhere…
