        Yes only the Republicans have a leader they listen to and built a platform on. Harris had no influence on her policy choices!

        Maybe you weren’t aware of this, but Kamala was the Democrat’s nominee for president. Which is the highest office in the government.

          I don’t think they do, judging by the downvotes.

      Pretty sure she supports it, as she did 4 years ago, but her campaign told her not to show support for it in order to court the Republicans that were on the fence.

        Seems like they told her to do that with a lot of things.

        womp womp.

        I’m holding out hope that the Democrats decide to court Democrats, but based on the past few elections I don’t have very high hopes.

          Democrats: taking votes for granted that they shouldn’t be taking for granted since forever.

            Correction: Taking intelligence and empathy for granted that they shouldn’t be taking for granted, since basically social media started being a thing.

        If you don’t support it during the campaign then you don’t get to say you secretly supported it later.

          They adopted a strategy, it didn’t work.

          Welcome to politics, you don’t always defend what you believe in.

            So she’s both a spineless liar and lacks substantive values? Voters who like that kind of candidate voted for Trump. Predictably. Welcome to politics.

          Ah, Jacobin. Of course. The ones who said housing the homeless is not good, because it means landlords will get paid.

          Can’t wait to read their thoughts on health care. Let me guess: “Universal health care now, but not if corporations benefit too”.
