Given the state of the GOP, and who would be beating the “liberal” candidate, this makes a lot of sense. Probably some decent reading for anyone still thinking they just won’t vote because Harris isn’t progressive enough. She might not be your cup of tea, but I’m betting the other guy is way less so.
They’re already moving right. I don’t think a lot of Americans fully understand how radicalized their politics have become over the past 20 years or so. Even your most radical leftists, like Bernie, is pretty moderate when compared to politicians in other developed democratic countries. Harris isn’t very progressive to begin with, she’s just infinitely better than Trump which makes her look like the best candidate in history.
Exactly.
Today’s Democrats are Republicans from 20 or 30 years ago.
There is no left in the U.S.
The last president before neoliberalism got it’s death grip on the party was Carter, and even the “moderates” can’t stop talking about how amazing he is, while refusing to ever go back to candidates like him.
Like, the vast majority of voters don’t even know the first presidential platform with universal healthcare was Teddy Roosevelt over a century ago.
Anyone that says we “need more time to evaluate” is lying or has no idea what they’re talking about
Carter was the first neoliberal president.

The only difference is he actually seems to believe in it.
