Harris Presidency Goals and Positions

[TheOriginalHappyGoat]

Where does this shit come from? Or is everything now alternative facts?

Harris campaign says it doesn't support Israel arms embargo

The news comes after Ms Harris was heckled at a rally in Michigan by pro-Palestinian protestors.

They literally just make things up and post it because they know the idiots will believe it.

You seem to misunderstand what the powers of the vice presidency actually are.

In normal, honest administrations. Yes I am very very sure that I know the intention of the VP and the lack of power that it is designed to have.
OH, look over there, while we are not in normal times. We are not in the same galaxy, that normal times reside in. I do know that you all like to pretend otherwise, at least while it makes "your team" look sane anyway.
The bigger problem is that you all won't even admit that there is serious shenanigans going on. It effect the entire existence of our country and everything that our country has ever stood for. This isn't an R vrs D thing.

All the rest is just noise. Harris would essentially be the torch bearer for the Squad implementing far left policies. She has obama’s endorsement as well. She is the candidate.


Climate - hardcore lefty who wants 10 trillion to fight climate change. Attack on fossil fuel continuation
Border - part of the administration that gave rise to the massive crossing spike and was charged with addressing it and did nothing to fix it whether at the border or at the root cause level as funding stopped and she basically abdicated her role and the admin’s promises re root causes
Taxes - will significantly raise Corp taxes, individual taxes, etc
Crime - supported defunding police and bail projects. Today we will see
Welfare - will increase social welfare expansion and a return to the 2020 objectives
Foreign policy - I don’t know.
Culture - woke heavy on race/gender identity politics

Taken together the left have elevated a squad representative as their candidate. The most liberal senator. As the kids say don’t get this twisted. A far left progressive is the policy platform we’ll be looking at. And that, not words, not insults, is what will impact all of our businesses and lives. Policy is all that matters….

Yes. She was the most left senator. Further left than Warren and Sanders. She’s doing Argentinian Peronism

And what does she and others think when now they pretend to be hard on crime, to be for fracking, to be for the wall and on and on. That we have amnesia? Bizarre stuff. Shape shifters

Not Sanders. She was the furthest left Senate Democrat.

I don't know if I'd say that she's further left than Bernie Sanders. Bernie's always been about as left as it comes in American electoral politics -- on fiscal/economic matters, anyway.

He's probably not as temperamentally radical as Tlaib, Cori Bush, Omar, etal. But I suspect you wouldn't find a great deal of ideological or policy differences between them -- with a notable exception being Israel. Sanders certainly isn't all in with Israel, now or in the past. But I also don't think it would be fair to call him adversarial in the way that Tlaib and the rest of that group is.

Anyway, there's no doubt that Kamala has always been squarely on the left flank of the Democratic Party since she came to the US Senate. There's no question about that. And of course she's trying to moderate for the election -- candidates always do that when they go from appealing to one electorate to a different one. The big difference for her is that she doesn't have as much time to do it as candidates usually do. So it all looks very disingenuous and opportunistic -- at least to me.

U.S. Gets Ready To Go Full Venezuela On Economic Policy — Manhattan Contrarian

It was in 1998 — a mere 23 years ago — that Hugo Chavez first got elected President of Venezuela. From the start, his program was explicitly one of vastly increased government spending, which was supposed to make the economy grow, reduce income inequality, eliminate poverty and bring about soc

Greece from Postwar Orthodoxy to “Democratic Peronism”

The roots of the present Greek crisis lie in the political transformation of the country during the 1980s. (Disclaimer: Although this post is about Greek fiscal behaviour, I am not taking Germany&#…

Argentina and Greece are the better of the examples


Peronism is a mashup of fascism and reformsocialism that the hard left switched to after 1989 away from straight up Marxism)

Craze, can an American Jew such as Jill Stein and others support Israel but wish Bibi Netanyahu was no longer Prime Minister?

Ditto for Israelis.

Absolutely.

I’ve never bought into the logic that the choice is between blindly supporting Israel’s government and/or policies or being generally anti-Israeli or even broadly antisemitic.

To me, that’s no different than the suggestions that opposition to Barack Obama’s policies or presidency were necessarily rooted in racism.

That said, there are racists who had at least some measure of animus towards Obama for that reason. There are people who are opposed to Israel beyond its policies…and also people who are antisemitic.

I consider myself a stalwart supporter of Israel. And while I don’t despise Netanyahu or think he’s some kind of bloodthirsty demon as some do, I do think Israel might be better served by different leadership.
