Immigrants make me so goddamn proud to be an American. "Real" Americans, not so much.

18.10.2025 01:44 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Yeah, it's mainstream, centrist. Pointing out she was not left is not saying she should have been more left.
18.10.2025 01:40 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0No one ever said they were. The point is Kamala wasn't "very progressive" as the other person claimed. She was closer to the center where most of the country is.
18.10.2025 01:38 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0say "Told you so!" which resulted in advances like animal welfare ratings, free range, grass-fed, etc. On abortion progressives relied on court victories and acted like it was settled. They're doing the same on gun violence. So we get decades between progress and zero tolerance for the anti- side.
18.10.2025 01:35 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Well, I'd blame that on a lack of a grassroots movement. When progressives were working for women's rights there was a constant push for the amendment that kept the issue in the news. Same with PETA and animal rights. Every time there's an outbreak of listeria or what not they are there to
18.10.2025 01:35 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Oh I don't think she was insincere. Quite the opposite. She ran as those things because she is those things.
Religion isn't right-wing. It's, like the other things I mentioned, moderate/centrist.
If it's your first one find some hippies and introduce yourself. They've likely done it before and know how to stay safe. If at any point you ever feel uncomfortable you can always bail. You did the hard part and showed up. Next time will be better.
18.10.2025 01:19 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0and how to limit their chants to the approved list. Not worth it! So just go. Leave your phone at home, take public transportation, have a little cash for an emergency, arrange a rendezvous point, wear good shoes, UPF+hat over sunscreen just in case, extra water, and most importantly relax.
18.10.2025 01:19 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0You're already on a list. There is no exposure-free way to attend a protest outside of hiring a homeless person or aspiring actor to go in your stead but then you have to worry about whether your John Brown shirt will fit them, or if they will carry your "FUCK PฬธOฬธLฬธICE" sign,
18.10.2025 01:19 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0If you don't attend protests out of an abundance of caution, there is probably no way to stay under the radar if you have a "normal" life. They have everything you've ever liked, posted, watched, un/followed, reviewed, blocked, un/friended, ordered, returned, GPSed, texted.

Mainstream, moderate and centrist.
18.10.2025 00:51 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Yeah, as long as they try to claim progressives are left wing they should be fine.
18.10.2025 00:49 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0The neoliberal jab was probably the most fuzzy but she is still pro-capitalist, pro-market and sees working with business as a solution.
The other things were her trying to appeal to people to the right. There's no arguing that that's what she was doing.
Again with the appeal to popularity. Cute.
18.10.2025 00:33 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0You want me to google that for you? It's the usual one. Let me know if you get stuck.

I didn't cite anything on social media. I cited things Harris actually did and said. Keep living in bizarro world ๐คก
Part of her campaign was appealing to centrists and those are things she did as part of that campaign. You pretending that the campaign is ONLY about policies is the stupid part.
You can fuck off any time. I'll just leave this here for posterity.
I'm defining it as ideologies. It doesn't matter if there is 1 adherent or 1 billion.
18.10.2025 00:20 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0So what do you call the socialists and communists? If you're busy calling liberals left wing ๐คฃ
18.10.2025 00:18 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Center-left isn't left wing.
18.10.2025 00:17 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0It's called campaigning. I listed three things she did which you claimed she didn't. Nice of you to finally admit that, you know, she did. Progress!
18.10.2025 00:17 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0No my fundamental problem is I deciding to argue with a halfwit centrist. Campaigning isn't just your platform. Campaigning is....campaigning. You know. Going on Oprah, giving speeches at churches and touring the fucking border wall.
18.10.2025 00:15 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Are you just making stuff up now? The communist party of Iran is secular and left wing. Left wing is generally anti-hierarchy so it would be strange to find one that is pro-oppression.
18.10.2025 00:12 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Doesn't matter. Left wing parties can have individual policies that are incongruent. Communists supported the NEP. Communists currently support market socialism. In general they are still left wing. Democrats, liberals, and progressives are not.
18.10.2025 00:07 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Parties that have a good shot at governing? That's an absurd limitation. You are talking about an Overton window not a spectrum of political views. The left still exists. You don't get to redefine words just because you want to.
18.10.2025 00:03 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0The left wing in Iran is still the communists ๐คทโโ๏ธ
18.10.2025 00:00 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0There is. You don't get to lump liberals in with socialists and communists as left wing just because we have two parties that are center-left and right wing.
17.10.2025 23:59 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Progressives are liberals. Just because they are to the left of centrists doesn't mean they are left wing.
17.10.2025 23:57 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0No, the things I said she did were things she did. Instead of just admitting she ran a campaign to appeal to centrists you want to pretend she was "very progressive" and progressives are left wing. Dontcha know.
