Immigrants make me so goddamn proud to be an American.

"Real" Americans, not so much.
They're still here. Blocked by 41,285 people but not sure how often Clearsky updates.

Yeah, it's mainstream, centrist. Pointing out she was not left is not saying she should have been more left.
October 18, 2025 at 1:40 AM
No one ever said they were. The point is Kamala wasn't "very progressive" as the other person claimed. She was closer to the center where most of the country is.
October 18, 2025 at 1:38 AM
say "Told you so!" which resulted in advances like animal welfare ratings, free range, grass-fed, etc. On abortion progressives relied on court victories and acted like it was settled. They're doing the same on gun violence. So we get decades between progress and zero tolerance for the anti- side.
October 18, 2025 at 1:35 AM
Well, I'd blame that on a lack of a grassroots movement. When progressives were working for women's rights there was a constant push for the amendment that kept the issue in the news. Same with PETA and animal rights. Every time there's an outbreak of listeria or what not they are there to

Oh I don't think she was insincere. Quite the opposite. She ran as those things because she is those things.

Religion isn't right-wing. It's, like the other things I mentioned, moderate/centrist.

If it's your first one find some hippies and introduce yourself. They've likely done it before and know how to stay safe. If at any point you ever feel uncomfortable you can always bail. You did the hard part and showed up. Next time will be better.

and how to limit their chants to the approved list. Not worth it! So just go. Leave your phone at home, take public transportation, have a little cash for an emergency, arrange a rendezvous point, wear good shoes, UPF+hat over sunscreen just in case, extra water, and most importantly relax.

You're already on a list. There is no exposure-free way to attend a protest outside of hiring a homeless person or aspiring actor to go in your stead but then you have to worry about whether your John Brown shirt will fit them, or if they will carry your "FUCK P̸O̸L̸ICE" sign,
October 18, 2025 at 1:19 AM
Mainstream, moderate and centrist.
October 18, 2025 at 12:51 AM
Yeah, as long as they try to claim progressives are left wing they should be fine.
October 18, 2025 at 12:49 AM
The neoliberal jab was probably the most fuzzy but she is still pro-capitalist, pro-market and sees working with business as a solution.

The other things were her trying to appeal to people to the right. There's no arguing that that's what she was doing.
October 18, 2025 at 12:48 AM
Again with the appeal to popularity. Cute.
October 18, 2025 at 12:33 AM
You want me to google that for you? It's the usual one. Let me know if you get stuck.
October 18, 2025 at 12:32 AM
Says the person who thinks progressive are left wing 😂

I didn't cite anything on social media. I cited things Harris actually did and said. Keep living in bizarro world 🤡
October 18, 2025 at 12:27 AM
Part of her campaign was appealing to centrists and those are things she did as part of that campaign. You pretending that the campaign is ONLY about policies is the stupid part.

You can fuck off any time. I'll just leave this here for posterity.
October 18, 2025 at 12:26 AM
I'm defining it as ideologies. It doesn't matter if there is 1 adherent or 1 billion.
October 18, 2025 at 12:20 AM
So what do you call the socialists and communists? If you're busy calling liberals left wing 🤣
October 18, 2025 at 12:18 AM
Center-left isn't left wing.
October 18, 2025 at 12:17 AM
It's called campaigning. I listed three things she did which you claimed she didn't. Nice of you to finally admit that, you know, she did. Progress!
October 18, 2025 at 12:17 AM
No my fundamental problem is I deciding to argue with a halfwit centrist. Campaigning isn't just your platform. Campaigning is....campaigning. You know. Going on Oprah, giving speeches at churches and touring the fucking border wall.
October 18, 2025 at 12:15 AM
Are you just making stuff up now? The communist party of Iran is secular and left wing. Left wing is generally anti-hierarchy so it would be strange to find one that is pro-oppression.
October 18, 2025 at 12:12 AM
Doesn't matter. Left wing parties can have individual policies that are incongruent. Communists supported the NEP. Communists currently support market socialism. In general they are still left wing. Democrats, liberals, and progressives are not.
