I think I demonstrated pretty handily that Harris is center-right.

Which has nothing to do with whether Harris is further left from Trump than she is right of Stein.

You claimed that Lefties are wanting to discuss wealth redistribution with Liberals, but that Liberals refuse. That was a lie because:

The top comment was a thread of Liberals engaging in rational discussion about wealth distrubution.

Your response was to ignore them, call their comments "bad faith" and and say you don't owe them engagement.

So what played out was a Lefty refusing to discuss wealth distribution with Liberals.

Further to that, Lefty mods then removed that discussion, because they really, really hate being proven to be hypocrites.

Again, to say Stein is far to the Left of Harris, but Harris is only slightly to the Left of Trump is ignorant at best, disingenuous at worst.

So you stand by the fact that you were lying.

Good ol' Lemmy Lefty!

Now imagine being so ignorant as to not see how a similar comparison on policy between Harris and Trump would put Harris far to the Left of Trump.

None of those policies sound particularly far away from what Biden/Harris have done / want to do. Student/medical debt cancellation being the obvious one. Job growth under Biden being another. Harris has also recently spoken in favor of unions/collective bargaining as of late. Harris also co-sponsored Bernie's Medicare for all.

Is Stein to the Left of Harris? Sure. Is she far to the Left of Harris? No.

The fact is, the ideological gap between Harris and Stein is way smaller than the one between Harris and Trump.

But you want to disingenuously paint Harris and Trump as virtually identical because of a single foreign policy issue that you lot can pretend to clutch your pearls over and virtue signal about until your lungs give out.

Which of her policies do you consider to be Leftist?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (19 children)

I don't actually understand her ideology, but the other candidates are literally Hitler

The Lemmy Lefty archetype in full form.
