Believe it or not, conservatives aren’t lying 24/7, they actually believe the things they say. That goes for both Pro-Trump and Anti-Trump conservatives.
If you were actually engaging in good faith political analysis, you’d see Harris is significantly more left wing than McCain or Romney.
Have you listened to any of these Republicans who have endorsed her talk? They all think she’s wayyyy too progressive for them during normal times, they’re not endorsing Harris because she’s somehow a conservative now, they’re endorsing Harris because their party got taken over by fascists and they’re rare spine-filled conservatives.
If they were speaking at the DNC, they were not socialists.
So Bernie and AOC aren’t socialists now?
They had more Republicans and cops speaking at that convention than marginalized communities.
Uh? No they didn’t? Did you even watch the convention? They had a few Republicans and cops who spoke for less than ten minutes each. Meanwhile they had dozens of women of color, and women’s rights were one of the main themes of the entire convention.
Yes because Republicans from five years ago would definitely have all the largest union leaders and several socialists speaking at their convention.
Her acceptance speech was bog standard for a democratic nominee, she played to both conservatives and progressives. Don’t act like she’s suddenly now a conservative because she pandered to the military and veterans.

One week old account. 684 Comments. 383 Posts. That’s 152 posts/comments a day, 9 an hour, and most are over a paragraph long. Almost all of them focus controversially on third-party advocacy in the middle of an election year.
Not saying this account is a bot, but a person would certainly have to be spending a whole lot of time on lemmy to be posting this much in one week so it certainly feels spamish.

You know there’s a way to make your point politically without using literal slurs right?
You understand that Castro went after than more than just slave owners right? It’s super disingenuous to pretend that most of the 1.5 million people who have fled Cuba were slave owners.
I paid less taxes under Trump and made more money.
Imagine supporting a literal insurrectionist because you might pay lower taxes maybe. Very cool dude.
I’ve always felt that’s just pragmatism from Bernie,
If you read his book “It’s Okay to Be Angry About Capitalism” it becomes very very obvious that this is the case. From quoting very radical anti-capitalists to tongue and cheek (somewhat) insider jokes such as naming the chapter on his time in mayoral politics “Socialism in one City”, it shows he’s definitely way more ideologically aligned with socialism than people give him credit for.
It’s called second campism, and it’s been happening for a long time, it just used to make more sense when it could actually seem like there was two hegemonic camps during the cold war (still an oversimplistic view).
Now they just support any regime that’s anti-US/the original capitalist camp because they have no hegemonic camp of their own to support, just a broad smattering of authoritarian regimes with completely different ideologies.
Disregarding the weirdest propaganda meme I have literally ever seen.
Lei Feng died of very very non-natural causes, supposedly when he was struck by a telephone pole that had been hit by a truck.
It’s also worth noting that he was essentially just a caricature of the “perfect revolutionary” for the Chinese government, it’s very hard to establish any historicity to any of the things attributed to him.
How do you literally say “I am against social justice” and think you’re the good guy?
By first declaring “Social Justice Warriors” to be the enemy and bashing against them at every step for a decade.
Go check their post history, they post pretty much any anti-Biden anything that they can find every day.
I’ve asked them several times before who they support instead, never gotten an answer.
ESPECIALLY IF THEY’RE AN ADULT ARTIST OR ENTERTAINER. Last I checked using your PayPal for that is against tos and PayPal has zero scruples about seizing all that cash.
Yes yes we must nationalize Lockheed I agree
No, no it’s not, they would be using guided missiles if their goal was to hit specific troop concentrations, this is just the regular old terror bombing.
