I really don't have a problem with this. She's a center right candidate from a center right party - of course she'll make an appeal to center right voters.
Sure, I wish we had a left wing candidate or a left wing party. But you can't vote in the election you want, you vote in the election you've got.
And she's inviting the actual right into the party. So now we can have our conservative party and our batshit crazy party. No need to even talk about progressive policies! Yay!
Somehow R destroying themselves resulted in a loss for the left. R just gets to join D and it's all good, high fives and hugs, despite who they voted for and supported since 2016, despite their continued assault on the queer community, despite their rampant overt bigotry and racism.
Sure, I wish we had a left wing candidate or a left wing party. But you can’t vote in the election you want, you vote in the election you’ve got.
Exactly. This is billionaire media controlled America. We don't get to have a left wing party, we get a "left wing" relative to the rightmost wing party which also goes and calls their so-called left wing opposition communist... It's laughably absurd.
To be fair, if you're still an "undecided" voter at this point, you're an oblivious (or single-issue) idiot at best, and a dishonest person taking advantage of workers at worst.
I'm not even sure I understand the meme. It feels like the last section was supposed to be something further left than liberal like "uncommitted". I'm sure the campaign thinks "we'll be both parties" is also supposed to appeal to undecided voters.
I just refuse to believe this will work. Harris' plan is seriously to try and court die-hard "Always-Republicans" by hoping that the group who chooses a candidate because it's what their parents voted for will have the critical thinking skills to realize Donald Trump is unfit for the presidency.
Meanwhile, every little thing like this makes it harder and harder for leftists to stomach her. None of this motivates any Democrats to go to the polls and cast a vote for her. You can criticize a lot about Trump's campaign, but they're focused on the only thing that matters; energizing their supporters to vote.
This is the same thing Hillary did in 2016. "Trump is bad. Therefore, you have to vote for me." I mean, the identical rhetoric has already shown its ineffective head in this thread.
Its always the voters that are wrong. The party or candidate can never fail; it can only be failed.
As the Dark Sith Lord Mitchell McConnell once stated: “winning is the only thing that matters, winning means you have the power, winning means you get to make the rules.” (Paraphrasing)
If you want left wing policies, like Obamacare or the inflation reduction act, if you want the green new deal or Medicare for all, then the left have to be in power. Else it’s a crapshoot what we get (hey, republicans were the ones that put the D in Medicare).
It’s not that hard of a concept. Lefties will continue to do lefty things when they have the power and votes to do so.
