      Democrats keep conceding right-leaning policies as if Republicans actually just want those policies

      Republicans are reactionary - they don’t just want tougher immigration policies. They want to hurt immigrants. If democrats push right, Republicans will just go further.

      There is no moderate right-wing position that can win over moderate Republicans that they can’t beat by going further right.

        WTF is “Blue MAGA”?

        I don’t see people on the left holding onto what was and getting stuck on reverting to times of old. Preventing the forward march of changing times.

            That’s a laughable bad take.

            The left, known for picking apart their candidates and platforms and fucking themselves by letting perfect the enemy of good repeatedly being called out as “cult-like”.

            I’m voting for Harris. But lemme tell you, I’ve got issues with her. Especially her history as “pro cop”.

            The thing is, many people on the left vote for “harm reduction”. We know there’s better candidates out there, but we’re stuck with what we’ve got in the FPTP voting we have.

            Objectively, voting for Harris will cause the least harm in this election.

            Especially if our alternative is a ratfucking tyrant that wants to be a “dictator”, wants to “ban protests”, revoke the broadcast licenses of media outlets critical of him & his party, would authorize Israel to wipe out Gaza with our direct support of our troops, would consolidate wealth to the top, and is openly working with the deranged likes of a man that dreams of making his workers indentured servants and would push the USA to reflect apartheid South Africa to relive the glory his father did.
