she did yes but none of it involved anything that is really needed

universal healthcare, police reform, environmental protections, minimum wage

only thing the Democrats stood strongly on was women rights which they have ignored for over half a century

so long so rights have now started to be lost and only now are they voicing an opinion on top for asking for donations

exhausting to keep watching your fellow citizens eat shit from the two parties keeping the US down and loving it so much so that third parties are not considered

what did Harris say that was enough to get a vote besides the fact she is not Trump

how?

did she come out strong on worker's rights, healthcare, the environment, upping the minimum wage, police reform, or anything that would directly help the citizens?

debate watched was Harris and Trump babbling for over an hour with no concrete plan for anything out of either of them

more concerned with the fact that neither of the candidates talked about raising the minimum wage, police reform, healthcare, or anything that the citizens need now

did and it was a sad read

Harris had come out with fervor when she first announced she was running for president but that has devolved into nonprogressive right leaning politics just like when Biden ran

baby steps sure but that baby was a baby a long time ago now is the time for adult steps

fascism grows from right leaning camps

sure Germany had your same thoughts before Hitler

But her policy positions were also clearly leaning to the right of the Democratic agenda. She called for many more agents patrolling the border (rather than real and comprehensive immigration reform), defended the right to abortion by extreme examples of injury (such as incest) rather than an ordinary woman’s right to choose, and offered no policy change for Palestinians beyond “working round the clock” for a ceasefire. In other words, more of the same.

does not matter who wins the election now because a right leaning party is going to win no matter what

another horseshit propaganda article being put out before the elections to try to put icing over the rotten, moldy cake that is the US

all the steam Harris started with looks gone in that article and it is hard to tell the two apart

Democrats are as allergic to factual information as the Republicans are

anything that shatters the Democrat fantasy must be some Russian paid troll thing tied to the Republicans

Republicans have a similar bitch with different wording but again meaning is the same

both parties support elections based on showmanship, hot air, and fluff without any progressive goals that would benefit the people

and in particular why Khizr Khan is endorsing Harris Walz

if you read the article his gripes about the Republicans are things the Democrats have come out strong on too like securing the border to the extreme and arming Israel

Khan also said he wasn’t an expert on the Afghanistan war and didn’t want to “second guess” the actions of the Biden-Harris administration.

“Second-guessing the decisions of our leadership, our military leadership, is not a good idea,” Khan said. “It is not in national interest. Guess who is going to exploit this difference and Republicans’ exploitation of this issue? Our adversaries — and it does not benefit our country. It does not benefit our national security.”

Khan is just talking out his ass

both parties are warmongers who support fascist ideas like closed border policies

and securing our border

https://democrats.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/FINAL-MASTER-PLATFORM.pdf

not sure what their bitch is since the Democrats believe in locking down the border too

Harris Walz support a lot of the same things the Republicans do

Trump and Walz even teamed up to give police more funding to forcibly remove oil pipeline protesters

more war funding, more police funding, more funding to restrict our borders, no plan to improve workers' rights, no plans for universal healthcare, no raising the minimum wage, no plans to care for our planet better

wording is different but the meanings are clear and very much alike

propaganda from both parties keep people at the bottom of the juice pitcher unable to breath fresh air and there are too few not drinking the punch to do anything

huge crab effect going on here

like when you go crabbing and put all the crabs in the bucket and the crabs that almost get out get stopped by their peers

damn right

Harris could easily at this point make her own platform to run on that includes what the voters are asking for

her refusal to acknowledge the voters' concerns is very telling

Harris leans to the right more every day

more reasons than being a felon that keep US citizens from voting

not allowed to vote because of bipartisan politics

but Claudia De la Cruz would have my vote if were able to

seems to be genuinely for the people

ask yourself you just involved yourself in the discussion
