    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.

      There’s no point appealing to the fascists. They prefer the better fascist.

      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.

      Americas is a center-right country. Anyone on the left will always be unhappy.

        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.

      Why? They just have to hold out until Democrats become fascists to appeal to them.

        They’ve already done that and that’s why the Republicans are flocking to them.

          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.

      I just refuse to believe this will work. Harris’ plan is seriously to try and court die-hard “Always-Republicans” by hoping that the group who chooses a candidate because it’s what their parents voted for will have the critical thinking skills to realize Donald Trump is unfit for the presidency.

      Meanwhile, every little thing like this makes it harder and harder for leftists to stomach her. None of this motivates any Democrats to go to the polls and cast a vote for her. You can criticize a lot about Trump’s campaign, but they’re focused on the only thing that matters; energizing their supporters to vote.

        As the Dark Sith Lord Mitchell McConnell once stated: “winning is the only thing that matters, winning means you have the power, winning means you get to make the rules.” (Paraphrasing)

        If you want left wing policies, like Obamacare or the inflation reduction act, if you want the green new deal or Medicare for all, then the left have to be in power. Else it’s a crapshoot what we get (hey, republicans were the ones that put the D in Medicare).

        It’s not that hard of a concept. Lefties will continue to do lefty things when they have the power and votes to do so.

          The left isn’t running in this election.

          Lefties will continue to do lefty things when they have the power and votes to do so.

          How many more majorities do we have to give them before we can call this out for the disgusting lie it is?

        This is the same thing Hillary did in 2016. “Trump is bad. Therefore, you have to vote for me.” I mean, the identical rhetoric has already shown its ineffective head in this thread.

        Its always the voters that are wrong. The party or candidate can never fail; it can only be failed.

          And they’ve been priming the media with supposed Russia and China misinformation so they can point fingers and blame when they lose.

            Yup. They would rather lose democracy forever and have someone to blame than even consider abandoning their support for genocide.

      “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.
