I already acknowledged she’s slightly to the left of Trump. That doesn’t change the fact that “closer” is doing a lot of work.

A pile of shit is closer to food than a rock. Would you eat it?

Again, to say Stein is far to the Left of Harris, but Harris is only slightly to the Left of Trump is ignorant at best, disingenuous at worst.

Did even you read my responses to your specific examples? I think I demonstrated pretty handily that Harris is center-right.

She’s not for Medicare for All, she’s not for universal debt abolition, she’s not for a jobs guarantee, she’s willing to break strikes for the sake of the capitalist economy, and most importantly she’s a militaristic freak that wants to further increase funding for the military and give unlimited support to Israel as it does genocide and drags us into WW3

She’s a 2000s era Republican.

Which has nothing to do with whether Harris is further left from Trump than she is right of Stein.
