Former Vice President Kamala Harris announced Wednesday that she would not run for governor of California in 2026, ending questions about her interest in the role but raising new ones about the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee’s plans for the future.
I actually agree. I’ve always considered her to be a progressive (or at least what’s considered progressive in the United States), but the last time I brought her up on Lemmy I got jumped on and told she’s a liberal.
I love those clips of her when she was grilling CEOs as member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. She has fantastic “get to the point and don’t fuck around” energy which is desperately needed in US politics.
It probably was an .ml comm, yeah. This was when I was just starting out on Lemmy and was actually excited to talk to the “leftists” on the communist comms. I was hopelessly naive.
Yeah they’re frustratingly bad at making you feel comfortable with your beliefs in communism. Like, I’m on the left to improve things, not to feel superior

Did you bring her up in a ml or hexbear community? Lemmy isn’t a monolith and there are some people in it hell-bent to call even AOC a liberal.

Her standing on Israel is suspect.
AOC is liberal as hell
