Oh shit is she a secret progressive???

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 57 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (3 children)

She's a good person and a political pragmatist, who is willing to concede a point to gain ten. She has, like most intelligent adults, evolved farther and farther left to embrace reality.

(While those in the the Wrong Wing cling to their assorted bigotries and boogiemen, as they lose all grip on sanity and embrace a venal madman as their Savior.)

For what it's worth, I've helped her in a retail context and she was the good kind of customer.

Damn. A good customer in a retail setting. Now that's how I know someone's an actual good person. Having worked like 10 years of retail front line, that alone make me want to vote for her more. Lol.

Not that I needed more reason than "let's not have fascism", but that's a big endorsement to me.

She was never secret about it. She just got painted as a hard conservative in the 2020 primaries.

Not exactly secret, most of the stuff progressives find objectionable are basically just she had a job that progressives attach to systemic problems and didn't throw her career away by not doing it to be a better progressive.
