I don't personally consider someone who is a centerist to be progressive at all. Maybe just me though. She is exactly as progressive as Biden which is why her messaging after Biden announced he was stepping down didn't involve and real progressive moves other than some minor tax cuts and legalizing cannabis. She lost because she is just the woman version of Joe Biden. Not that she gets much say until she is elected, but she could have come out swinging a lot harder to the left instead of joining up with Liz Cheney who also isn't known to be that progressive. She is exactly who the DNC wanted running, which is why they didn't hold an abbreviated Democratic primary for 2024.

She was not progressive at all! I think the person was saying that she lost because she was too progressive as a misconception to why she was one of the first out in 2020.

She wasn't too progressive for the DNC to put her second on the ticket, a heart attack from a very old man away from being president. That's exactly why she was on the ticket. I am pretty sure she was one of the least progressive candidates, dropping out before 2020 even started.

I'm not smart enough to know what that means.

She lost the first primary bc she had progressive ideas. The DNC wouldn’t allow that.

Literally from what they said

Yet her being a progressive was not what lost her the 2020 primary, contrary to this person's original point. You just expounded on my point, thanks. At no point did she lose something because she was too progressive.

How does someone who has made it all the way to Lemmy to post a comment not have an ad blocker these days? If you have the motivation to post, why not use that to look up how to block ads?

You didn't clarify anything, especially not the incorrect point you were trying to make. I hope you have a more enlightened day.

After you said she lost because she was progressive, and in the same comment where you say there were better progressives, implying if she had been more progressive she would have won.

If not please try explain.

She lost because she was progressive, but at the same time you're saying she lost because she wasn't actually progressive enough.

While Bernie certainly didn't win the primary, I would argue he was slightly more progressive and yet got farther than Harris. Please reconsider your position on that. I don't think the DNC did her any favors, but they certainly aren't what kept Harris from winning.

They didn't run Clinton after she lost to trump, why would they think this is any different? Harris was not picked twice for a reason, the first time in the 2020 democratic primary and the second time after the last election. PLEASE move on to someone who hasn't lost yet for a real change and a real hope to win.

I can't tell if your username is more ironic or sarcastic. Your post is pure garbage though.

I was 8. Lost a tooth at my grandparents house and my grandpa chose to wait until after sunrise to take the tooth and return some tooth fairy treasures. I first asked for confirmation that the tooth fairy was not real. He nodded. I considered that for a second and then followed up with "and Santa?" He nodded again, I shrugged and went back to sleep.

I kept the secret until they asked directly and just didn't lie. They seemed to have turned out fine.

Maybe I'll start using my space height on my tinder.

This is the way.

You should stay. We should stand up.

There are definitely some good philosophies debated in those volumes.

While I tend to agree, the only political news I got before I was 18 came from whatever news my parents had on the TV after dinner.

They as good as ended his career with that. You don't think every sailor hasn't already heard or will hear at his next command that he is so ignorant he can't even fire a rifle right? If he's that incompetent they shouldn't have let it get so far that he got a command in the first place. He's either so incompetent that he can't do basic sailors tasks OR they made up a reason to fire a sailor who made a non critical mistake. Do we publicize IN PRINT when an army infantry NCO has a negligent discharge at clearing barrel? Maybe locally, but it doesn't mean he is completely unfit to lead men to war.

Haha I think that could also be it.
