      Harris ran a much more progressive yet inclusive campaign then Biden but I don’t think people were ready to vote for a Black Indian woman.

        You can’t be serious with this more progressive than Biden bullshit?

        Harris had Cheney and corporations cozying up to her. She acted like she was going to be progressive at first and then she decided to go after those moderate voters. If she was a little bit progressive then she would have allowed the Palestinian to speak at the DNC. Instead she let some right wingers and a billionaire.

          People who called themselves progressives had more and more strict purity tests on what actually makes someone progressive until they decided to support the Republicans.

        Progressive for who? Not the workers. Not for unions . Not for regulation. Who was it Progressive for? There’s this myth that she was super Progressive but I didn’t see any evidence of it anywhere. The few Progressive movements of the Biden White House we’re on the chopping block for Harris. She nominated a great vice president choice and then she put them in the closet so no he couldn’t spread the message. Her intentions were very clear she was running well to the right of Joe Biden’s campaign.

        She was very clearly for big business and for this mythical middle class that doesn’t even exist anymore. She could give a shit about the working class. A sentiment that was being shared by the way in interviews of potential voters which is how you knew she was about to lose.

          Which ones?

          So Harris was so far right you all flocked to Trump or didn’t vote to send a message that you’d go further right?

            And there it is. The old Hillary Clinton that’s all I fucking have campaign in a nutshell. Immediately accuse them of liking Donald Trump. Because the only thing they are is not Trump. Lost them two elections. It’s going to lose them every other election ever to come if we even get any. Cuz these fucking neoliberals have nothing for us. They can’t run on their Promises to the voters because they don’t have any. Every freaking time.

                Except in 2020 when Joe Biden was the furthest left president we’ve had this country since the seventies. Low bar I know, but most pro-union president of my lifetime and he won. Put in a fantastic head of the FTC and Lina Khan, who Harris was eager to get rid of, and he won. Worked to bring back us Manufacturing, and he won. It’s almost like leftist policies are popular. Democrats can’t handle that though. Terrified Wall Street and thus it terrified the Democratic Leadership. The neoliberals in the Democratic Party who have run away from left as hard as they can in the last 50 years can’t sit here and complain that left don’t vote for them when they try as hard as they can not to appeal to them.

                Show me some courting and we’ll see who votes.

                  Can you answer this because Harris was left of Biden on everything she spoke about in the time she had to campaign.
