    Bruh I know the Overton window in the US is megafucked but she’s literally one of our most liberal politicians by voting record, she is not “firmly right wing” by any reasonable standard

      She’s in favor of a fascist border policy against asylum seekers, a firm supporter of the fascist Zionist entity known as Israel, and wants to appoint members of the fascist party to her cabinet if she wins. She’s been endorsed by architects of the Iraq war and the US torture program.

      California’s top cop is right-wing.

        Don’t mistake me for a Kamala Harris apologist- she is absolutely a huge centrist in her presidential campaign. I am tired of this false equivalency with the total fascist ilk she’s running against. It’s not useful and it’s dishonest.

          She is not a centrist, Bill Clinton was a centrist. With what she’s proposing, her actions, and the endorsements she’s fought for, she’s on par with Trump. She may not say the quiet parts out loud like trump, but her actions speak louder than the words she’s not saying.

            I hate to be pedantic but that’s almost exactly the definition of a centrist, someone who collaborates with both sides (even if one of those sides is fascist, genocidal, racist, etc.). And again, I don’t disagree, it’s a bad thing to be for exactly that reason. But it’s also a different thing than being explicitly a right wing authoritarian fascist like Trump is.

              A centrist collaborates with the right and left (mostly the right), but fascists are to the right of the right. They’re far right, which is a distinct grouping from ordinary right-wing ideology. Fascist collaboration requires becoming right-wing, just to meet them halfway.

          If you find yourself agreeing with Dick Cheney on politics you might want to rethink your positions.

          He doesn’t like Trump because he’s a destabilizing element. He agitates the masses against him and does stupid shit for no reason that makes allies and adversarie alike stop trusting the US. He’s bad for business.

          Harris will be good for the empire. That’s it.

            If Dick Cheney told you he thought wearing a seatbelt was a good idea, you’d argue against him because clearly an idea is bad if a bad person has it.

            Evaluate an argument on its merits, regardless of who endorses it.

              While true, that commenter is a very well known bad actor and provocateur. I recommend against engaging.

              Obviously he’s not, like, a chaos demon. He presumably eats human food and all that.

              But he’s a monster and should be in prison, not giving endorsements. This is like being endorsed by Anders Brevik or some shit.

              She should have rejected the endorsement. Instead she’s embracing him. It’s disgusting.

            What if you find yourself agreeing with Repubs that you should vote for third parties over a Dem? Or is that different because saying so doesn’t support the pro-MAGA campaigning you are here for?

            This is really weird. You’re happy for Trump to be elected because Cheney is so bad?!?

              I will never be happy.

              No that’s not true. I’ll be happy when the so-called state of Israel is defeated and pays for it’s crimes.

              And it will.

                Not if Trump is elected, it won’t!
