I’m not allowed to post things from the candidate’s own blog. I’m not allowed to post articles from 2019, but what about this?
Her reversal is not ok and we should be allowed to discuss it.
I want it, but I’m willing to wait a while longer in exchange for freedom now. Bigger problems to work on with Project 2025. I got a preteen niece that cannot grow up in that kind of world. And couchfucker needs to go away.
OP posted a similar article a few minutes ago, and I will say again they’re like MAGA and are using anything and everything to kill the momentum.
Momentum sustained over here. Would love MFA but there no point in talking about it without the right Congress.
I am not a MAGA person and I am only one person. If the candidate were consistent then she wouldn’t have this problem.
The headline saying progressives are ok with it is bullshit.
But if stupid headlines broke any rules, there’d be a lot less posts here.
This one will likely stay up
That’s the headline from the article and I’m not allowed to change it. I ended up having to copy paste it as the automatic import did not work, so I suppose the title tag could be different. I can’t quite tell on my phone.
Nah. I meant it’s not your fault it’s a dumb headline, it’s the journalist/editor who picked it.
I should have explicitly said that to be clear tho considering how much hassle you’ve went thru to get a post in
I think discussion is fine. I think the article fosters discussion. I also completely agree with them sidelining what could give the Republicans ammo and votes in this critical time.
But I’m just a Canadian who hates headline gore and want to point out that:
Harris isn’t pushing Medicare for All anymore. Progressives say that’s OK.
Is a shitty headline. It doesn’t match the tone or even fully the bias of the article and is click baity at best. It instantly paints the discussion for headline readers and article for the clickers as contrarian.
Harris isn’t pushing Medicare for All anymore. Is that OK?
Is what a headline should look like in this case and would probably foster discussion and less downvotes. But one can’t even tell shitty journalism from manipulation these days, can we?
Edit: whipped out my black highlighter for some bolding.
could give the Republicans ammo and votes in this critical time.
But republicans will immediately pivot to another area they want her to be more conservative with, and this change will have a negative effect on Dem turnout.
This one thing won’t erase her lead, but she’s also said she’s not for banning fracking anymore either. That will also negatively effect Dem turnout.
Everytime she becomes slightly more conservative to appease Republicans, she gains no votes and loses a little.
That’s not even getting into how at the end of the day, we desperately need to do these things she’s now say she won’t even try to do.
There’s no way to look at this and honestly say it’s a good move, unless you just always personally agreed with Republicans on these issues. And for those people, they were probably never going to vote D anyways.
Dunno who those progressives are but most of the progressives I know are not okay with the shift.
And yet they will all vote for her anyway because she is not Trump and is pro-choice.
Democrats claim to be pro choice while doing nothing to protect women’s choice is rather suspect.
So you’re going to vote for the overgrown oompaloompa who actively wants to take it away? We unfortunately only have two real choices here.
Yup we all (all the progressives I know IRL, not everyone here - I don’t know yall) will fucking vote for Harris while giving her shit and trying to push her to the left because if Trump is elected a lot of people will die. It fucking sucks but we’ve got to play the hand we’re dealt.
I was, for the record, also planning on voting for Biden in the general if he didn’t drop out while being fucking pissed off about Gaza.
I’m fully behind whatever pressure you want to put behind trying to force candidates to the left (I have no patience for fucks that decry the “lack of decorum” in protesters) but come election day I’m fucking voting for Harris.
I’m 100% here for this. Put pressure on her. Vote for Progressive candidates in the Primary. Push for RCV or something similar so we aren’t having to do ‘risk mitigation’ votes and instead can vote Progressive knowing the main-stream leftist gets our vote if the Progressive doesn’t, or the Progressive vote percentage in the House matches the polls. Protest the shit out of milquetoast third-way bullshittium decisions that just enrich the Moneyed Class. But when the alternative to Team Milquetoast is Team Fascist, I expect EVERYONE to show up for Milquetoast.
That’s just a bizarre statement to make - until there’s even an inkling of a shift on reproductive rights your comment is extremely disingenuous.
Honestly, as I’ve grown older I’ve come to realize most voting is risk mitigation. I was brought up to think it was about making positive change but votes that do that are less common than the risk mitigation votes.
Bullshit it’s “ok” with progressives.
