To me, electing someone who is famous for prosecuting non-violent drug users and truants en masse when our government is becoming increasingly more fascist by the day seems incredibly ill-advised.
But this is America. Ill-advised is what we do. You drink the unhealthy, uber-sugary soda and just ignore how unhealthy it is because Coke slapped a picture of a Marvel superhero on the can. We've demonstrated that we care more about the packaging than the actual product.
It stands to reason we have a better chance seeing Trump finally brought to justice of hes defeated?
Based on what facts?
Harris hasnt had much actual say here thus far
She's been a presidential candidate and a politician long enough that not having her platform publicly available on her website isn't a mistake; it's a deliberate omission.
Her platform is: Just trust me. Well, I can't really do that when I just watched you waste four years that could have been spent trying to stop fascists, no?
This is not to say the democrats are perfect or even good
Their entire pitch 4 years ago was that they'd leverage the power of the Federal Government to stop fascism.
They had a mandate and did nothing except use the power of their offices to get wealthier, or in Biden's case, keep his scumbag son out of jail.
I voted for Biden in full knowledge that the middle class would suffer because I thought what we'd seen from Trump would entail real, tangible action on the part of Democrats to purge the fascists from our government.
But it didn't.
I have zero faith they'll do anything to stop it now after watching them spend four years doing nothing about it, and it doesn't make sense to me to argue that they're some kind of conscientious alternative after what we've all seen them do these past four years.
If they'd done what they promised Trump wouldn't even be able to run now. Let that sink in.
I think it's a significant problem that it doesn't work for the tens of millions of Americans who can't withstand being price gouged. For them, the access promised by the ACA doesn't exist.
And I think it's significant (especially now) that Obama had the problem to make major, substantial change and didn't. He had the power to codify abortion into law and didn't. He had the power to pass the ENDA and didn't. He had the power to enact universal health care and didn't.
But he made absolutely sure no one involved in crashing the economy served any jail time, and in fact, rewarded them with our cash for their efforts.
That we have a legit fascist candidate, and the fascist is the only one willing to say publicly what they actually support? All Democrats have offered voters so far are variations on two memes: Joy and weirdness.
Kamala doesn't even have policy positions on her website, which if you ask me, is basic functionality for any politician.
But the thing is, if you're a wage earner, you're already living in a dictatorship. You need 2-3 jobs to survive in this country, hardly the bastion of freedom it claims to be.
The Dems can meme about joy all they want, but if you're a wage earner chances are pretty good you're not feeling it.
I have all of my apps set to "ask every time" but I think we should all assume these apps and your phone provider and manufacturer are acting in bad faith.
Luckily I have an external step counter and alarm clock, so I don't need my phone to be on most of the time.
Please read what I wrote again. The answer's already there.
