For me; my issues surround the environment, healthcare, education and workers rights here in the USA. Protection of the BWCA and the CHIPS act are of grave importance to me. A Harris administration would have protected these things.

Actually, Harris was basically president for four years with a Dem majority in congress and didn’t do shit about a single one of these things. How do you respond to that?

The healthcare one is hilarious. Kamala Harris is anti-Single Payer. She even had a fake single payer plan laid out in 2016 so filled with asterisks that it gave the American flag a run for its money for amount of stars.

Oh and worker’s rights? Stop telling jokes. She was part of the administration that made it illegal for rail workers to strike.

Yet the administration intervened to help them get what they were striking for.

There’s definitely a place for vital jobs where striking can be illegal, but the administration also made sure they were set

You might also pay attention to the other pro labor actions of this administration, including the first sitting president to stand on a picket line

I had downvoted you but nothing you said is untrue.

No party represents me. The Democratic Party pretends to (to the satisfaction of many, clearly) but it is honestly a joke if you compare us to the rest of the world.

They passed the chips act and upheld environmental protections. What are you on?

We will see how workers rights fare under Trump.

The more I read your comment the more insane it sounds. The Dems never had a majority in congress. They had the senate, not the house. The senate can’t do shit if the house isn’t aligned. A VP’s role is not the same as a president and her powers were very limited. Regardless we’re splitting hairs over these things.

ACA is on the chopping block with Trump in control of all executive branches of government. They have no healthcare plan.

We will see what happens, but please stop bullshitting me.

Leave it to libs to take one small symbolic, easily reversed law and lean heavily on it to excuse the clear pattern of impotence and bloodthirstiness of an almost equally corrupt major power.
