Show me where Harris ‘reached out’ to Dick Cheney.

She didn’t change anything to win over GOPs, they came over because they are sick of Trump.

She reaches out to the neocons with every single policy concession. Fracking. Universal healthcare. Student loans. Police reform. The ratchet continues, and all the liberals have to offer is “At least it’s not fascism” as we help genocide Palestine and corporate power grows until it’s practically the same thing as state power.

And what are you offering?

You really think that all the voters who didn’t force the Dems to nominate a true Progressive in 2020 are going to vote for some as yet unnamed candidate in November?

We’re in danger of drowning, and your response is to complain that the lifeboat doesn’t have WiFi.

Precisely. This crowd loves to talk a good talk about the ratchet or the Overton window, but offers absolutely nothing in terms of practical, realistic solutions.

No, a third party progressive with zero national name recognition and no ballot access in a majority of the country is not going to magically win 270 electoral votes if you write them in. If going viral was that easy everyone would do it. So grow up and offer a practical solution, or shut the fuck up.

you realize trump clicked the ratchet far far faster than any democrat? When republicans win the dems only ever come back more racist in response.

This isn’t an election, its a hostage situation and the way to deal with a hostage situation is to appear to negotiate with the hostage takers until you can remove them, its not to immediately attempt to kill all the hostages.
