In addition to siccing the military on protestors...
She would totally do all of these things in the first few months, because both sides are definitely the same.
Okay, so she wouldn't have done those things, does that invalidate the post's claim that she has nothing actually progressive to say about any of the topics mentioned? She's the epitome of status quo whose only redeeming quality is that she's not batshit insane like the other candidate. That doesn't make her a good candidate for the country. I'm not going to comment on whether y'all should have voted for her or not because I'm not American, but all I'm saying is I can understand why tons of people didn't want to vote for her because she not only failed to address any of the issues progressive voters had, she deliberately avoided talking about them.
Also, the election is over. Why do I get the impression you think the OP is still trying to get you to not vote for her or something when that ship has sailed? All of you went apeshit when anyone dared criticize her during the election because "a vote not for Harris is a vote for Trump," you're going to use that same reason when it literally doesn't fucking matter anymore?
No, if a Democrat president had done something remotely resembling one of these things: media, courts, Congress would be in a frenzy to stop it, before you could say executive order.
I mean I can understand the "controlled ineffectual opposition" narrative, but I don't buy the "Democrats' inaction means they are just as evil as Republicans".
Cool cool.... Hey why did Obama run a drone assassination program?
There's no don't that she wouldn't be as bad as Trump, but she was never meant to be president. Her role was to ensure Trump got reelected. That's what it looks like to me, at least.
