With Kamala Harris’s campaign struggling to extinguish the possibility of another Trump presidency, she seems willing to try everything — except for a clear political vision that folds together broad antiwar sentiment and economic populism.
sometimes when you do things right, people wont think you did anything at all. this is just whining about not doing enough to court the right when shes already done more than necessary.
Harris seems to be adopting a gimmicky new strategy every day, from embracing cryptocurrency to announcing that as president she’ll run all policy through a bipartisan council of advisors. She’s throwing everything against the wall, hoping that something, anything, will put her over the edge.
There’s one tactic Harris doesn’t seem keen to try, though. She won’t embrace the kind of antiwar sentiment and economic populism that might appeal to many currently unenthusiastic voters, but which would infuriate the Democratic establishment and the donor class.
I’m not here to downvote you, but my vote will be anti-fascist no matter what, yes Israel is fucking horrible, but I understand that as a politician that same distinction is much more complicated. What we need is for politics to be boring again, this sensational TV and ratings crap needs to find itself in the rubbish bin.

There is no anti-fascist candidate running. The choices are “appease fascists” and “be fascists”.
Given a choice between Neville Chamberlain and Vidkun Quisling, the choice is obvious. But we shouldn’t be in a position where Neville Chamberlain is the better choice.

you cant fix
crazyweirdThere’s like 5 different disparate groups she needs to unify. People need to take it the fuck easy, this shit is hard and complicated
Imagine trying to get 330 million people to agree on something.
Of course it’s gonna be awful and most people won’t like it.
Even harder when you’re a black woman trying to do it.

I don’t agree with this, and that’s okay, I was merely expressing my opinion.
Good points!
