A lot of people are both pushing Harris on this issue

No, you’re not, unless you’re a billionaire. Kamala doesn’t even have policy positions on her website. It’s just a short bio and a donation portal.

By pushing Harris I mean going out and protesting etc.

That didn’t work on Obama or Biden.

If you mean completely change a candidate to fit your views, no it’ll never work. But protesting tends to put pressure and marginally improve candidates.

Trump plans on installing himself as a dictator from day one. Not sure how you could protest or influence him to do anything.

Protesting only works because it comes with an implicit threat. In this case the threat is “you will lose the election if you don’t listen.”

Republicans however have made their plans clear. They plan to cut medicare, ACA, planned parenthood funding and lots of other affordable health care (in addition to all the other heinous Heritage Foundation shit)

Isn’t that wild?

That we have a legit fascist candidate, and the fascist is the only one willing to say publicly what they actually support? All Democrats have offered voters so far are variations on two memes: Joy and weirdness.

Kamala doesn’t even have policy positions on her website, which if you ask me, is basic functionality for any politician.
