In last night’s debate, Kamala Harris rightly insisted that much of the country is exhausted by and ready to move on from Trump. But we deserve to move on to something better and more substantive than what Harris had to offer.

    We live in a profoundly unequal and militaristic society. America is the only developed country where cash-strapped diabetics die because they try to ration out their insulin. Our billionaires take private space flights while our working class is one of the only in the world that isn’t guaranteed so much as a single day per year of paid vacation. And as Americans argue about what to read into the tea leaves of the latest polls from Pennsylvania, US-supplied bombs are dismembering children in Gaza.

    Against this background, it’s bitterly ironic that Trump “accused” Harris of being opposed to US aid to the Israeli military, of being influenced by the views of socialist economists like her father, and of wanting to provide health care to every single American, and that all of these accusations were false. She’s not wrong that much of the country is exhausted by Trump and ready to move on. But we deserve to move on to something far better than anything on offer last night.

      Love Kamala. But it seems you are disappointed? If you’re more conservative, this is a critical time for Republicans. It’s time to represent real Americans again. We all win when both parties are fighting for things like housing, the economy, and social issues. America wants to move forward.

          Oh I see!

          Are you passionate? A strong center vs MAGA is great for y’all, right? In an ideal world - next election wouldn’t it be awesome to have a far left represented in a presidential debate?

          I’m all for it, friendo
