Geez, for some reason I remember him being killed earlier than that. Weird.George Floyd was killed in 2020, months after Harris dropped out of the primary. But progressives were definitely ascendant in the Democratic Party in 2019 and Harris’s prosecutor past was a liability.
Understood and I agree. But remember, the people that will decide this election are the truly undecided. People actually undecided that could vote either way, after 8 years of Trump are not the brightest or most informed. They will never go that deep or contemplate what you just described. They vote on talking points and bumper stickers.One thing to remember is that many of her “extreme” positions were taken at a time four years ago when the progressives were at their “peak.” It came on the heels of the George Floyd killing, Bernie was leading after the first 3 primaries, and there was reflexive push to the far left to counter Trump’s regressive, Pro-police agenda when a lot of Americans were hurting.
I think Kamala tried to carve out her own space to the left of Biden and Buttigieg, but not as far as Bernie and Elizabeth Warren, and she struggled to articulate what she actually stood for. And because of the anti-police sentiment at the time, her career as a hardcore prosecutor worked against her.
Now, after four years of learning how to be “presidential,” and the fact she only had one opponent, she can lean into that law and order persona and not feel obligated to move too far left.
It's more about voter turnout. If anywhere close to 100% of eligible voters voted, the election results would be quite different.Understood and I agree.

The young and too disenfranchised to vote, yeah they are a little smarter.
Couldn't sleep so looking at this on my phone with one eye open. This would be a perfect opportunity to try out the ignore function it seems like. Ignore works so well here that it's essentially group moderation.I’m going to say it. Calla is not a net gain here.
His posts are childish and don’t add anything productive to the conversation.
Ignore quoted posts is such a simple concept and one I have been BEGGING 247 to implement for years. It would take the wind out of so many fights and salvage many threads.Couldn't sleep so looking at this on my phone with one eye open.

If you ignore a poster, they are gone from your posting experience. You will never see them again.
Any time I hear a right winger like my cousin who barely graduated high school talk about "research" I visualize a 40 year old woman on her 3rd glass of wine at 10:00 at night googling shit that lights up her confirmation bias
I ponder that sometimes I am not sure I want to find out?? Lots of folks that don't vote are kind of scary . Now I get what you are saying and yes turnout will be a big deal this go aroundIt's more about voter turnout.

Fair warning ... prepare yourself for Trump & Vance as Bo & Luke Duke
