Progressive Politics

Socialists are VERY easily upset when purity tests aren’t passed.

Because two years ago, she was the frontwoman of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

When Biden flamed out, there was an opportunity to chart a clear course away from the imbecilic positions and sound bytes of the DNC’s establishment and political consultant class. Instead, she toed the line, and lost. Not to mention, voter turnout tanked because she was just offering more of the same, instead of actually making any attempt to iterate and improve on any of Biden’s positions.

Conservatives called "neo-liberals" are in control of our Democratic Party. She is a neo-liberal who would not condemn genocide when she was running for president.

The normal people want a progressive candidate, not a neo-liberal. Conservatives are pathological liars and we are tired of them being the only two choices.

Part of her campaign was getting buddy buddy with Liz fucking Cheney the the old Dem strategy of trying to appeal to Republicans instead of trying to appeal to progressives. Also she was a prosecutor and leaned into tough on crime bullshit.

She is a younger version of the same old party membership that needs to go away and let the progressives take the lead.

The simplest answer is that she is far too centrist for anyone who wants to see actual change. People want someone on a mission to make things better not just try to make things not get worse.

The genocide is a big part of it.

It's been 8 hours and you've already got a lot of replies. I wanted to offer something that isn't rooted in symbolism and political identity but just disregard if you feel like it's already clear:

Kamala's the latest in a procession of DNC leaders who already had jobs in presidents cabinets. That gives them experience and sounds great until you look at who those presidents were. Then you realize that for the last decade we've just been running the same guy spiritually since Obama left office and the US has no hope of ever growing beyond bombing brown people and pardoning pedophiles.

Add on that Harris' predecessor was segregation-era architect of inequality and overpolicing in his career, and that she basically replicated his carceral strategies in her home state before ever working with him. It starts to be obvious that this procession of leadership would never be trusted with presidential power if they weren't the only alternative to TurboHittler. It's manipulative.

I don't hate her, but she ran for president once and lost. I don't want another Republican administration. Give me someone to vote for who can win.

If elected, she will pardon donald and the rest of the criminals. She has regularly shown herself to be without a spine.

she kills kids for money . she is also bribed by the tens of millions of dollars and does not represent American people intrest at all.

I don’t “hate” her she just doesn’t do much for me or represent my values as a voter. My biggest qualm is “she’s a cop” she was the attorney general and described herself as the “top cop” of California. She’s deeply entrenched in a very broken system and it does not serve her or those aligned with her to change that system. Those who understand the system is broken and it “going back to normal” as in pre-Trump, doesn’t actually fix said system it just rewinds it a bit. I will vote for Harris every day of the week over a Republican presidential candidate don’t get me wrong, but I don’t like it, I do understand the value of choosing the lesser evil and the importance of fighting back against accelerationism. I’m sure plenty of people hate her, as far as who she is as a person I’m ambivalent it’s just her politics are more of the status quo and that’s not my politics.
