This shit is so fucking stupid....
People ask why Kamala is so far right on so many issues compared to the Dem voter base...
And rather than say "yeah, I can't provide a valid reason she keeps going to the right", we keep getting these posts about how it doesn't matter?
Imagine if Kamala's line was just to the right of yours, whatever you care most about, she's just going to agree with trump on.
And when you go around, asking why you aren't important enough to be on Kamala's side of the line, everyone told you to stop being a baby and be happy with what you get, even tho what you want isn't included in her platform
Like, we don't gain votes by supporting a genocide.
We don't gain votes from a border wall and Trump's other border policies Kamala adopted.
Shit. Just being pro-fracking is going to lose us PA, and trump can't win the election without PA.
That one fucking issue that not a single person can explain why she holds. That's all it would take to prevent trump.
But instead of using your time productively to try and get Kamala to change while there's still time...
You want to shit on the people the party left behind?
Like this doesn't even seem like trying to bully them into voting anymore, you're punching down on these people constantly and gleefully....
You're acting exactly like a fucking trump supporter.
TLDR:
The people trying to pull Kamala left are the ones helping Kamala
You're trying to do the same thing Hillary supporters tried to do in 2016....
Do you honestly not remember how that worked out?
Or is this all intentional?
Blue MAGA is real, and now that they’ve finally accepted Biden won’t be the candidate, they produce this kind of “support” for Kamala. It’s a shitlib’s shitpost, make no mistake.
Anyway, I think Kamala’s lackluster policy positions can be quite easily explained by the age old Pelosi adage - “lean to the green.” Kamala is a corporate establishment dem through and through - if you’re expecting anything else, prepare to be disappointed.
She’s obviously still a better choice than Trump, but as you point out, she needs to be pressured hard from the left at this juncture in order to still have a chance to win the election. If the donors drag her too far to the right, why would people vote for her, right wing lite, over Trump?
"Blue MAGA" is Russian propaganda.
Sure. That's why people on the left have been using it for a decade now.
Because, it's a bad way to describe people like OP.
What part of the manifesto did you agree with to get your .ml badge?
