Rules:
- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
- This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
- All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

No it's a candidate you mostly agree with. I for one don't care for a party that doesn't fight for medicare for all, doesn't fight to restore the courts, doesn't imprison traitors and rapists, that supports genocide, that pumps more funding into cops and ICE, that strives for "the most lethal military in the world", that continues to subsidize fossil fuels, that legally bars workers striking, that doesn't bother to codify Roe, and ultimately when they finally get around to doing something, they assume that giving government money to market driven companies will best solve problems.
the response is always lesser of two evils stuff. yes, kamala is less evil than trump. still evil, though.
Progressive Puritanismtl is the reason why Trump got elected both times.
Neither Hillary nor Kamala were progressive enough so a large enough portion of people just didn't vote.
Meanwhile, so Republicans always vote.
The problem is that they are not progressive at all. Like literally what position of Harris is progressive? It is all either keeping the status quo or regressive.
You wanna known what a progressive point is now. Dont kill trans people. That is where we are right now. That is the line of progressivism now that trunp won. Congratulations overton window shifted
