Why is it that when Donald Trump claims to be a leftist— draining the swamp, helping manufacturing, creating the best healthcare— none of his right-wing supporters believe he’ll betray them? But as soon as Kamala Harris says anything appeasing to the right, leftist supporters believe she’s sold her soul? Can’t Harris use appeasement and subterfuge to win an election and then do something different? Why is that only Donald Trump’s coalition privilege?

I’m just speaking for myself here but every day it’s harder for me with her. It’s not her trying to appeal to the right by itself. It’s bringing Dick Cheney into the fold in the context of how little she’s done to do the same for people further on the left. Especially where Gaza is concerned. The gestures don’t have to be grand but they are glaringly absent

Interesting argument. It relies a lot of “what if” though. With respect to selling her soul, it’s not a question of flipping the script from an otherwise left-leaning playbook. It’s an affirmation of an already very right of center worldview, that she herself is bragging about, with examples of how she’s back up these right wing views. So the issue is more that she is making concessions to the right while abandoning any working alongside the left. It’s very reminiscent of Macron. And I think it justifiably worries progressives, whether or not you agree.

Different base, different personality of leaders, different historical stances, different people that you can potentially convince with such stances, different everything. Comparing an apple to an orange (literally the orange man)

Harris is not a genuine. She has no policy, no ideas and struggles to articulate anything of substance. Everything about her feels off
