Progressive-ish at the very least. I think Dems know the jig is up on all the neoliberal bullcrap particularly housing/immigration/not codifying abortion. Thing that have been the RealPolitik bipartisan status quo since forever.
All the gentlemen's agreements need to go and be replaced with hard and fast and enforceable deterrants to the would be fuck-arounders that the GOP is and has reasserted itself as.
Going by voting records, she's actually the closest to Bernie.
Wow is that incredibly depressing
"fuck-arounders" is great, I'm stealing that.
Thats what I'm here 4
Coming from across the pond, I hope you are right that the jig is up. Looking at politics here, we’re still miles off that sentiment.
I consider her sane and rational. Easy choice.
She's not progressive. But she's not trump and that's all that matters.
I think Bernie is just being pragmatic. But, that might be giving him too much credit.
I agree she's better than the only viable alternative.
We really need to replace FPtP and the Electoral College. Approval voting is pretty simple, and would improve both the primaries (if kept) and the final.
Being "pragmatic" only seems to go in one direction, and it is rightward.
Pragmatic isn't a point on the left-right spectrum.
But wait fox says she is way left of Bernie
For a presidential candidate Harris has a surprising amount of values that resonate. Presidential candidates in the US are never good people but that doesn't mean we should pick the most degenerate weirdo we can find like trump.
Good for Bernie Sanders.
