Harris would totally apply tariffs to every country in the world.
Harris would totally pardon everyone who paid her enough and said good things about her.
Harris would fire huge chunks of the government recklessly without any regard to what they do.
Harris would push for a Big Beautiful Bill to withhold funding from judges that would try to hold her administration in contempt.
Harris would start a cryptocurrency token designed solely to enrich herself.
Harris would get into rapid back and forth arguments on Twitter (or BlueSky I suppose) with other influential people.
Harris would try to make every issue about herself, including Canada's election.

She would totally do all of these things in the first few months, because both sides are definitely the same.

Okay, so she wouldn't have done those things, does that invalidate the post's claim that she has nothing actually progressive to say about any of the topics mentioned? She's the epitome of status quo whose only redeeming quality is that she's not batshit insane like the other candidate. That doesn't make her a good candidate for the country. I'm not going to comment on whether y'all should have voted for her or not because I'm not American, but all I'm saying is I can understand why tons of people didn't want to vote for her because she not only failed to address any of the issues progressive voters had, she deliberately avoided talking about them.

Also, the election is over. Why do I get the impression you think the OP is still trying to get you to not vote for her or something when that ship has sailed? All of you went apeshit when anyone dared criticize her during the election because "a vote not for Harris is a vote for Trump," you're going to use that same reason when it literally doesn't fucking matter anymore?

Cool cool.... Hey why did Obama run a drone assassination program?

From 2000 up to the present day, the US has been carrying out a campaign of drone strikes and asassinations in the Middle East and Africa, including Yemen, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Somalia, resulting in thousands of civilian deaths, including women, children, and US citizens. 1 Drone strikes are used by the military and the CIA to hunt down and kill people the Obama administration has deemed — through secretive processes, without indictment or trial — worthy of execution. Drone strike targets are usually pinpointed through cell phone usage. The Obama asassination complex is detailed in the drone papers.

There's no don't that she wouldn't be as bad as Trump, but she was never meant to be president. Her role was to ensure Trump got reelected. That's what it looks like to me, at least.
