After Joe Biden selected Kamala Harris as his running mate in 2020, she moved toward the center on some issues, and has generally kept those positions to this day.

    Would you rather have someone who can be moved to change their opinion or someone who is apparently proud that they’re the same person they were in first grade?

      Do centrists have an argument that doesn’t involve immediately dismissing anyone to their left as a Trump supporter?

        Not in America where those are the only 2 choices, no.

          So to be clear, you’re calling anyone who has any criticism at all of Harris of being a Trump supporter?

            No, I’m saying the winner of the election will either be Harris or Trump. You pick one or have the pick made for you.

              The article is about Harris, who I am voting for on October 21, which is the day early voting opens in Texas. Your initial comment is predicated on the assumption that criticism of Harris maps 1:1 with trump support.

    Basically took every major platform point from Joe Biden and moved it right…

    Because the DMC thinks thatbsince she’s not a walking corpse, voters will hold their nose for shittier policy.

    The goal of the DMC is to give voters just enough that they could win, instead, we could give voters the platform they want and just always win

    But campaigns wouldn’t cost over a billion dollars then

        She did that two years ago, she cast the tie breaking vote against a fracking ban.

        It’s not just a couple moves thinking it’ll help her win the election, it’s been a steady and sustained change. Obama did it too, but he started a lot further left than Kamala.

    Intelligent people are supposed to change their stances on things when faced with new information. Good on her for having a brain and using it!

    She’s a Democrat. You didn’t honestly expect her to move leftward, did you?

      Her opposition is setting the bar low.

        That doesn’t mean we have to keep trying to limbo under it.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
