more concerned with the fact that neither of the candidates talked about raising the minimum wage, police reform, healthcare, or anything that the citizens need now
Still a very green banana.
more concerned with the fact that neither of the candidates talked about raising the minimum wage, police reform, healthcare, or anything that the citizens need now
did and it was a sad read
Harris had come out with fervor when she first announced she was running for president but that has devolved into nonprogressive right leaning politics just like when Biden ran
baby steps sure but that baby was a baby a long time ago now is the time for adult steps
fascism grows from right leaning camps
sure Germany had your same thoughts before Hitler
But her policy positions were also clearly leaning to the right of the Democratic agenda. She called for many more agents patrolling the border (rather than real and comprehensive immigration reform), defended the right to abortion by extreme examples of injury (such as incest) rather than an ordinary woman’s right to choose, and offered no policy change for Palestinians beyond “working round the clock” for a ceasefire. In other words, more of the same.
does not matter who wins the election now because a right leaning party is going to win no matter what
all the steam Harris started with looks gone in that article and it is hard to tell the two apart
Democrats are as allergic to factual information as the Republicans are
anything that shatters the Democrat fantasy must be some Russian paid troll thing tied to the Republicans
Republicans have a similar bitch with different wording but again meaning is the same
both parties support elections based on showmanship, hot air, and fluff without any progressive goals that would benefit the people
and in particular why Khizr Khan is endorsing Harris Walz
if you read the article his gripes about the Republicans are things the Democrats have come out strong on too like securing the border to the extreme and arming Israel
Khan also said he wasn’t an expert on the Afghanistan war and didn’t want to “second guess” the actions of the Biden-Harris administration.
“Second-guessing the decisions of our leadership, our military leadership, is not a good idea,” Khan said. “It is not in national interest. Guess who is going to exploit this difference and Republicans’ exploitation of this issue? Our adversaries — and it does not benefit our country. It does not benefit our national security.”
Khan is just talking out his ass
both parties are warmongers who support fascist ideas like closed border policies
Harris Walz support a lot of the same things the Republicans do
Trump and Walz even teamed up to give police more funding to forcibly remove oil pipeline protesters
more war funding, more police funding, more funding to restrict our borders, no plan to improve workers’ rights, no plans for universal healthcare, no raising the minimum wage, no plans to care for our planet better

wording is different but the meanings are clear and very much alike
propaganda from both parties keep people at the bottom of the juice pitcher unable to breath fresh air and there are too few not drinking the punch to do anything
huge crab effect going on here
like when you go crabbing and put all the crabs in the bucket and the crabs that almost get out get stopped by their peers
damn right
Harris could easily at this point make her own platform to run on that includes what the voters are asking for
her refusal to acknowledge the voters’ concerns is very telling
Harris leans to the right more every day
more reasons than being a felon that keep US citizens from voting
not allowed to vote because of bipartisan politics
but Claudia De la Cruz would have my vote if were able to
seems to be genuinely for the people
ask yourself you just involved yourself in the discussion
so only Republicans need to be held to a standard but not Democrats because of Trump?
not to mention Walz got the police extra funding to put the boot to protesters and under federal approval under then President Trump in a bipartisan effort
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_Line_3_protests
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has not taken a firm stance on the pipeline expansion, which received federal approval under the Trump administration.[18][23]
did you read the article?
came from snopes.com not foxnews.com
do fact checkers not matter to Democrats either?
what matters is Harris said it to show solidarity to the workers in the US to garner their votes
no matter what party the candidate is from if they are willing to lie to the voters what else would they lie about
Walz overfunding police so they would manhandle protesters that are against an oil pipeline but coming out as an environmentalist is the same thing too
matters who we put in office, and they should be held to a high standard
Rinderle bought My Shadow Is Purple – a picture book “featuring a student who does not conform to gender stereotypes” – at a Scholastic book fair, according to plaintiffs’ response to the motion to dismiss. Scholastic recommends the book for five-to-eight-year-olds. The teacher of more than a decade chose the title “because of its anti-bullying message”, according to the amended complaint, reported on by the Guardian in July. Her class voted on books for a morning “read-aloud” session and nine of 15 students chose the 32-page book.
Two days after the reading session, one parent and then another emailed complaints to the school’s principal. The second called “anything in the genre of ‘LGBTQ’ and ‘queer’ … divisive”. The principal forwarded the emails to the school district’s central office. Within five days, on 13 March of last year, the county suspended Rinderle. By August, the school district fired the teacher of more than 10 years.
this is why the US will never be progressive or have any modern policies and laws
we bully any dissidents into irrelevance and submission going as far as throwing the victim into poverty
Either vote Democrat or Republican because you are not allowed in the US to speak out against the two ruling parties or there are consequences
voting just Democrat and promoting that party’s agenda alone will not produce the results the citizens need
either we revolt against the two-party sham, or we stay trapped in the mire
because Democrats and Republicans are bedmates out to enrich their own coffers
neither of the “two” parties is for the people
how?
did she come out strong on worker’s rights, healthcare, the environment, upping the minimum wage, police reform, or anything that would directly help the citizens?
debate watched was Harris and Trump babbling for over an hour with no concrete plan for anything out of either of them
