    Do you really think Harris’ platform was all that liberal?

    Did you listen to her DNC speech, where she insisted on having the strongest military in America’s history, not mentioning Palestinians plight in Gaza and the West Bank, and promising to have a Republican in her cabinet?

    Harris actively chased after the right and their voting base right up to election day. Democrats did nothing to counter Trump. If they had, they would have actually followed through on the Tim Walz pick and promulgated actual, progressive policies to win over the self-interest of their base.

    Harris using a stick to get her base to vote was not enough. People need carrots. Her campaign was utter shit man.

      I also agree she was more centrist than I prefer, but I don’t understand people unhappy she’s not further left, choosing to take a hard right and flying off the deep end. This is not like Columbus thinking the world is a sphere so you can head right to get left. Or maybe it is somehow, either way Haitians came out the worst
