I know but what's your goal here?

[–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Expressing political views socially.

Ah, carry on. I assumed you were more interested in advancing progressive policies and convincing others to do the same as opposed to just yelling at the clouds, which I imagine must be quite cathartic :)

The thing is, since the primaries are over, the best time to have this discussion has passed, and with there only being two parties in the US and both having already nominated a candidate your comment seems out of place, at best, and at worst, intentionally divisive and counterproductive towards advancing legislation progressives support

I mean, at least in this community, I'd assume most people that care about "progressive politics" already know Harris isn't left of Bernie or anything so it's not really that interesting or enlightening. I think at this point, most of us just care that she's significantly left of Trump and most importantly believes in basic things like the rule of law and science

But Trump…
