That is what you’re supporting in Kamala Harris. Conservativism dressed up in a politically-correct, acceptable package. Her administration will make you poorer, will make your lives harder, and ultimately, you’ll be left thinking the way I do about Obama.

Context is key. There are many political topics and policies that cannot even be discussed without a democratic majority in the house and senate. "Obamacare" was a republican compromise because anything more left or "liberal" would have been shot down immediately. Americans suffer because conservative republicans continue to hold back the country and slide the Overton window far too much to the right.

Democrats are unfortunately held back by conservative republicans and no no real progress can be made until the country shows significant support for more left-leaning candidates.
