As a medical user, I really hope she will stick to this if elected. Trump is doing more “leave it up to the states” bullshit except specifically for Florida and no other state.

      Boy, if you had basic civics knowledge as to how a president in the executive branch cannot pass laws himself but requires the legislative branch (Congress) to pass said laws that he would back.

        We can give weapons to Israel without congressional approval, but not Ukraine.

        We can build a border wall violating federal laws, but we can’t have the DEA approve a plant.

        Seems weird how being unabashedly evil is bipartisan and the patriotic duty of the president and anything good the Democratic candidate has to promise they’ll try to work on Congress with, reaching across the isles of the literal actual fascists known as Republicans.

        Say what you will about the Republicans, at least they get results on their absurd culture war bullshit. Best the Dems can do for the left is ignore us completely and give us Tim Walz as a VP like we should be soooo fucking grateful

          I don’t think Tim Walz was chosen to attract left-wing voters. He’s not center left or far left.

          I agree with you that the Democrats tend to ignore the left, and it’s incredible annoying, but at the same time in my opinion Harris is a better candidate than Hillary was. It’s a small improvement, but it’s an improvement. (Obviously this depends on your views on various issues, so you could disagree reasonably enough.)

      Yeah I view these statements more as “I’m going to tell you what you want to hear so you’ll elect me!”
