Progressive Politics

Your comment is exactly why Hillary and Harris lost. Even now, you can't see that the compromise candidate will eventually fail, and continue to fail, because their values don't match the voters.

And hey, if you had written this comment before 2016, or even before 2024, we could understand your instinct. You might not have realized how the Dems' shift to the right would undercut the entire party. But now you should be able to figure it out. Take Harris's policies, for example. Which ones were going to benefit the average American? She was weak on Israel, her border strategy was xenophobic (and therefore racist), her home owner tax credit would not have lowered housing or rent prices for the vast majority of Americans... In other words, even if she got everything she wanted, would it have made our lives better? I just don't see it, and neither did hundreds of millions of Americans.
