it is downright sickening seeing people justify continuing support for Kamala Harris after the speech she gave last night. the Democratic party has always been a big tent party. and the tent seemingly keeps getting smaller.
she wants to sign into law a right-wing border bill that will be even more right-wing if republicans take the senate which is likely. she wants to have the most “lethal” military in the world. she had anti-choice republicans, cops and border patrol agents on the stage at the DNC but couldn’t make room for a 5 minute vetted speech by a Palestinian speaker. she did not mention transgender people or rights a single time in her speech. she has still not released any policies whatsoever and it’s almost September.
politicians should have to earn your vote. this blue no matter who shit because the violence is delivered to you in a rainbow flag and a pro choice sticker slapped on it is fucking deplorable.
have a spine. have an actual, real spine and hold the politicians who run this country accountable for their words and actions. stop guaranteeing your vote to these people before you have been shown any initiative to change their behavior. stop shrinking the tent. too many people are being pushed out and you’re suggesting we don’t reach out to them because you’ve already staked out your place. show some fucking humanity.
“i still prefer Kamala over Trump” great then vote for her and have the time of your life. by not holding these people accountable, you are literally aiding the rightward slip into a fascist state that you warn everyone about under Trump.
these neoliberal policies on things like immigration, crime and Palestine are a historical departure from the Democratic party and you’re just bending over and taking it. how big of a feckless coward can you be? the performative liberalism is so apparent. we are supposed to be standing up for people like migrants and people in Palestine who are BEGGING for our help daily on this very website. what in the fuck are you thinking?
Voting will not affect democrat policy
Whether they win or lose they will continue doing the same stuff and going in the same direction
You cannot hold a person who doesn’t actually care about your vote accountable by not voting
Kamala Harris, the Presidential candidate exists purely to further the democrats entrenched position and insure continued political donations to their members. The policy is just an obstacle they would rather avoid.
