    I really don’t have a problem with this. She’s a center right candidate from a center right party - of course she’ll make an appeal to center right voters.

    Sure, I wish we had a left wing candidate or a left wing party. But you can’t vote in the election you want, you vote in the election you’ve got.

      And she’s inviting the actual right into the party. So now we can have our conservative party and our batshit crazy party. No need to even talk about progressive policies! Yay!

      Somehow R destroying themselves resulted in a loss for the left. R just gets to join D and it’s all good, high fives and hugs, despite who they voted for and supported since 2016, despite their continued assault on the queer community, despite their rampant overt bigotry and racism.

        Working with fascists gives fascists power. And fascists have money to give to centrists to move further right.

        Why else would they not want money? It’s not like lives at home are in danger, the lives abroad clearly don’t matter much.

      Exactly. This is billionaire media controlled America. We don’t get to have a left wing party, we get a “left wing” relative to the rightmost wing party which also goes and calls their so-called left wing opposition communist… It’s laughably absurd.

        We have a strongly right leaning elite and a government that was never designed to represent the will of the majority is how I would put it.

          I wouldn’t say “flocking” but they got Cheney and Bush on board, and they’re so proud that they moved far enough to the right to get there.

      To be fair, if you’re still an “undecided” voter at this point, you’re an oblivious (or single-issue) idiot at best, and a dishonest person taking advantage of workers at worst.

        I’m not even sure I understand the meme. It feels like the last section was supposed to be something further left than liberal like “uncommitted”. I’m sure the campaign thinks “we’ll be both parties” is also supposed to appeal to undecided voters.

      “One is a fascist, one doesn’t say they support my opinion, another one will split the vote and give the fascist victory. It’s so hard to choose man.”

      -literally nobody.
