    I honestly don’t how anyone can look at the Biden/Harris presidency or the Harris/Walz campaign and conclude that it is equally right-wing as Reagan… At best it’s just whiny anti-capitalist hyperbole, and at worst you’re dumb as a rock and actually believe that.

      The issue is with what they are actually able to accomplish, not what they say they’ll do. And that goes for every Democrat since Carter.

        Wow, that just makes me sad. I know they both did monstrous things to our society, but their tone in that debate is so far removed from our current xenophobic constant. Really just highlights how far the overton window has shifted, but doesn’t make me change my mind about the current options being Nightmarish v. Palatable v. Impossible.

      A lot of leftists think anybody of a more moderate disposition than Mao must naturally be a republican

      It’s insane

      Kamala is a moderate progressive. I fail to see the problem with incremental reform.
