Gotta say, as someone who identifies as a progressive, she’s really been beating my expectations compared to what she was saying and doing back in the 2020 primaries.

She needs to get tougher on Israel, otherwise everything I see is good.

I’m hoping she’s mostly just playing soft on Israel for now is to avoid more criticism of being antisemitic. When Israel started their attempted genocide, most of the Biden administration was silent on it, and we didn’t hear or see anything from Harris, when she did eventually have a public appearance about a month later, she was pretty much the first person in the administration to say anything remotely pro-peace.

I’m probably just huffing copium but I hope she’s just taking AIPAC’s money (not sure if they are giving her any, but better in her hands than theirs) and getting through the election, and then going to go full prosecutor on Israel/Netanyahu.

Trump just called Netanyahu and told him to turn down the cease fire. All your complaints about Harris should be gone and Trump should be in prison for being a traitor promoting more death for political gain.

Doesn’t really matter what Trump does if she still supports giving Israel weapons. Netanyahu doesn’t care about the ceasefire anyway. That’s been obvious for awhile now.

Biden could always go full on Dark Brandon and just off BB and his far right friends. Then tell the isntraeli’s to gtfo of Gaza and the West Bank or round 2’ll be worse. Yes I just made a contraction out of a number, that’s how I do.

Epstein’s plane could suddenly fall out of the sky with dumb, dumber and all their neonatsi friends on board. Bird strikes or something. But this time the miracle would be that Sully wasn’t flying, or if he was, this time he would be sober and then blammo, lights out.

You don’t really grow out of daydreaming as you get older, they just get really precise and dialed in.

I think she has to toe the line because she is still the acting VP. Going against the president in that position is not a good look. That said it makes knowing her actual position there really tough.

The fact that she didn’t have to face a primary this year is a political gift. She didn’t have to go.on record while jockeying to differentiate herself and the instant unanimous support from the entire Democratic party means she can just be herself

In the 2020 primaries the race was between the moderates and Bernie, why wouldn’t she have felt comfortable being more progressive when Bernie was doing so well?

She started out the 2020 primaries pretty progressive, but would usually roll-back her positions a day later, presumably after some adviser told her it wouldn’t play in Peoria or would anger a megadonor. Maybe that’s where her heart actually lies and her trainwreck of a campaign made her realize those advisors were bad people to listen to.

Sounds like a solid plan! I would be surprised if the public opinion here would be any different. There are no billionaires on Lemmy.

No, but there are still plenty of billionaire meat-riders here.

Not now, no, but I need to make sure they have a favorable tax regime for when my scratch-offs inevitably raise me to my appropriate station.

Pro tip: Have other people do the scratching.

The only way to become a billionaire is to exploit the labor of others.
