it’s worth remembering the was one of the first to withdraw her presidential bid in 2020 because it was abundantly obvious no one was interested. she was selected as Joe Biden’s running mate to make him look more progressive than he was and to groom her for the national stage. it is abundantly clear now that the nation at large is not interested for a variety of reasons. the left sees in her the conservatism of the democratic party over the last 40 years. the right sees a variety of things depending on how their brains are broken:
The American left needs to fall out of love with cannibalism.
I don’t care why Harris wants to do the right thing now.
Allow people to save face and change their positions - attacking them for “flip flops” is to say “No reasonable adult should ever change their mind about anything” which is not only bananas, but discourages people from doing critical thinking because they’d face humiliation for reversing course.
Honestly I have no idea what this meme’s context is.
I believe her just as much as I believe anyone else’s word: Little to none.
But clowning on her because she apparently announced her intent to back Democratic Socialists is… dumb for reasons I stated.
This is just a classic incidence of Purity Testing and I reject it on principle, not because I think Harris is especially virtuous or deserving of defense. As I said, cannibalism is counter-productive and it loses elections. I hope all the people who smugly sat home refusing to vote for Harris are happy that Trump won.
If some people in the Democratic party change their minds and stop supporting Israeli crimes, I welcome them.
While I agree, she’s pressured into it because she wants power and the trend is clear. She’s a plastic bag blowing in the wind.
No argument here, but I still prefer this to the alternative
Yeah, I know what you mean. I am kind of like Yay! Fuck Israel but cautious because Kamala.
She doesn’t have any tangible political power and probably never will again, so there’s that

in politics, words are cheap. I’ll believe her when she DOES something significant to demonstrate her new found beliefs. Until then, doubt.

Wanting to start again
Wouldn’t a plastic bag float in the wind?
Al we know is thst she reached out to them. Nothing about her supporting palestinians in anyway, nothing about cutting all aids and weapons to israel
Any forward progress at all is progress
Just saying a vague buzz word without committing to specific policy position is not progress.
