harris did have policies that republicans would agree with and should support since they share very similar ideas. same with obama and other democrats. you will actually have a hard time finding an establishment democrat that is more progressive than the other way around. thats what i meant by that. not just because i live in an echo chamber. not sure if i do, dont care really, i just observe what both sides do.1. Anyone who thinks that Kamala Harris is right-leaning is part of the problem. You guys live in a far-left echo chamber that has very little to do with the real world. You're not going to win the elections by advocating for socialist and Marxist policies.
2. The US isn't an "extremely conservative country", it is socially liberal. Let's talk about truly conservative countries: at least seven UN member states have capital punishment for homosexuality.
does that mean i think someone should not care who they vote for? obviously not. we're talking about if harris was too left wing. she's not, not if you look at some of her policies. i mean, not unless the country wants to admit they want to go back 100 years in policy.
so the benchline on if a country is ultra conservative would be if there is capital punishment for homosexuality? we're not allowed to mention on going trends that are constantly supported and purposed by the republicans in the form of banning gay marriage, civil right protections, and so on? cause im going to be real with you, ill keep calling this nation very conservative if democrats seem pretty neutral to dipping toes in being progress to having people constantly trying to strip the rights of others. america first and project 2025, as well as all the republicans all over the damn country wanting to take human rights away.
call me scared, dont care. not trying to fearmonger (which is something the right does a lot themselves). im just very much aware of what we have to lose, and im not going to just assume the 'arent that crazy' when they have fucking manifests from their think tanks and many of them agree on it.
so to play devils advocate: democrats are not as extreme as republicans are, but to say they are progressive or more left than other allied nations (like canada, UK, you know, other comparable countries) seems disinengous to me.
