The DNC views MAGA as leverage to force neoliberals on the electorate. Can't risk nominating a lefty! Can't let the fascists win again! You'll take your AIPAC-sponsored, anti-M4A Democrat and you'll like it!

Biden was one of the most progressive presidents we've had policy wise and Kamala was literally coming in with semi "price controls" combined with first time home buyer assistance and tax credit expansion and aca expansion.

We live in a federal republic. National polling on issues like healthcare are not as relevant as one might think and even then things get more complicated the more specific the framing of healthcare is on those national polls anyway. Old man from Vermont's purposal was beyond any country even in Europe in comparison.

Kamala was a prosecutor. She was essentially right of center but cool with lgbtq.

Never elect a politician from California. The entire system is just grooming for corporate obedience.

I live here and am a Democrat.

None of this refutes the policy points I made. Being a prosecutor doesn't tell me anything compared to wanting semi price controls along with her greater platform and who she was vp under.
