      Her acceptance speech was bog standard for a democratic nominee, she played to both conservatives and progressives. Don’t act like she’s suddenly now a conservative because she pandered to the military and veterans.

    The only stance Democrats won’t abandon is their support for Netanyahu’s genocide.

        Sure is tiresome, people bringing up how the very first time that centrists decided to stand for anything, it was the wholesale slaughter of Palestinians.

          Pretty sure the centrists stood for abortion access before making their stance on Palestine clear - remember that time a few days after Biden stepped down when even yall downvoted anything critical of Harris?

          Politicians aren’t a matter of black and white… Harris is a mixed bag… And her election would result in the least number of dead Palestinians out of any of the options. Vote for her if you don’t want to continue advocating for genocide.

            Which is why they codified roe when they had the chance.

            Vote for her if you don’t want to continue advocating for genocide.

            I AM ALREADY VOTING FOR HER. I get that you just want everyone to shut up while we support genocide, but some of us have misgivings about the only thing that any centrist can be counted on to actually stand for.

              Hey, I’m sorry people are treating you like shit because they assume being against genocide means you’re not on their side.

              If you decide to actually not be on their side, PSL is running De La Cruz on a platform of Palestinian statehood and an end to weapons shipments to Israel.

              Don’t let this get you down. It’s the same thing as Iraq and Iraq 2.

    They keep bragging about many Republicans they had on stage. Great, I guess the Democrats are just the Republicans from 10-20 years ago if those speakers find the current Democratic party palatable. I’m sure that will rally people to vote blue like they did in 2008. Was it caving on immigration, peace, and crime what made Obama so popular?

      They’re not even Republicans from 10-20 years ago. They’re Republicans from five years ago.

        Yes because Republicans from five years ago would definitely have all the largest union leaders and several socialists speaking at their convention.

          If they were speaking at the DNC, they were not socialists. They had more Republicans and cops speaking at that convention than marginalized communities.

            So Bernie and AOC aren’t socialists now?

            They had more Republicans and cops speaking at that convention than marginalized communities.

            Uh? No they didn’t? Did you even watch the convention? They had a few Republicans and cops who spoke for less than ten minutes each. Meanwhile they had dozens of women of color, and women’s rights were one of the main themes of the entire convention.
