    This shit is so fucking stupid…

    People ask why Kamala is so far right on so many issues compared to the Dem voter base…

    And rather than say “yeah, I can’t provide a valid reason she keeps going to the right”, we keep getting these posts about how it doesn’t matter?

    Imagine if Kamala’s line was just to the right of yours, whatever you care most about, she’s just going to agree with trump on.

    And when you go around, asking why you aren’t important enough to be on Kamala’s side of the line, everyone told you to stop being a baby and be happy with what you get, even tho what you want isn’t included in her platform

    Like, we don’t gain votes by supporting a genocide.

    We don’t gain votes from a border wall and Trump’s other border policies Kamala adopted.

    Shit. Just being pro-fracking is going to lose us PA, and trump can’t win the election without PA.

    That one fucking issue that not a single person can explain why she holds. That’s all it would take to prevent trump.

    But instead of using your time productively to try and get Kamala to change while there’s still time…

    You want to shit on the people the party left behind?

    Like this doesn’t even seem like trying to bully them into voting anymore, you’re punching down on these people constantly and gleefully…

    You’re acting exactly like a fucking trump supporter.

    TLDR:

    The people trying to pull Kamala left are the ones helping Kamala

    You’re trying to do the same thing Hillary supporters tried to do in 2016…

    Do you honestly not remember how that worked out?

    Or is this all intentional?

      Blue MAGA is real, and now that they’ve finally accepted Biden won’t be the candidate, they produce this kind of “support” for Kamala. It’s a shitlib’s shitpost, make no mistake.

      Anyway, I think Kamala’s lackluster policy positions can be quite easily explained by the age old Pelosi adage - “lean to the green.” Kamala is a corporate establishment dem through and through - if you’re expecting anything else, prepare to be disappointed.

      She’s obviously still a better choice than Trump, but as you point out, she needs to be pressured hard from the left at this juncture in order to still have a chance to win the election. If the donors drag her too far to the right, why would people vote for her, right wing lite, over Trump?

      If liberals were capable of self criticism and learning they wouldn’t be liberals.

      Can you stop making each sentence a paragraph?

      It makes it impossible to read.

      Can’t follow what goes together.

      It doesn’t make you profound.

      clearly the point of the meme is that the Middle East geopolitical situation is too complicated for the simplistic view that many leftist voters have.

        It’s not a demand for perfection…

        I’m voting for Kamala.

        What were talking about is how to get her the most votes so she beats trump…

        She does that by appealing to voters who may vote for her.

        By going left on issues such as climate change, foreign aid, education, the economy, fossil fuel production…

        If she moves left on those issues. She gets more votes.

        I do t see how talking about any of this is “demand for perfection” tho

        Did you mean to reply to someone else?

              Basing my assumption only on your comments.

              Look, the Dems campaign is not perfect but compared to R are offering, but wait until your over the winning line before killing your own team.
