Progressives - If only it were true that Harris was a "radical Marxist"?

[Big Brother]

Shes competent at being incompetent.

Evidently she can read a carefully scripted teleprompter given enough time to practice. So, she's already far superior to Biden. We must remember that the job of Democrat POTUS is not very difficult and the only 3 job requirements are:
1. Just read the damn teleprompter
2. Don't go off script, just read the damn teleprompter you fool
3. Stay far out of the way of the people really running the country for the benefit of the Big Donors.

And you quack like someone who has never made an effort to research an issue beyond published left-wing talking points.

According to data from the Voteview project:

What you apparently also don't know is that Sanders's voting record skews right in one area: gun rights.

I suggest you begin taking the time to read up on matters before posting. If you do, your comments will demonstrate far less ignorance than those you've posted here.

LOL... I know Bernie isn't the big bad Marxist the Rabid Right love to claim. Why would you think I wouldn't know that??? I am a progressive and own a few well used and used well firearms...
Actually, I try not to use cliff notes to form opinions- every ranking system uses a theory and formula to create a matrix to hold up to a political body. I'm more interested in have you the votes she took that were more socialist than Bernie.....
You make the claim, did you just glance at broad nonspecific reports or actually seen where Harris voted more liberal than Bernie...

If only the Orange Convict would take that advice...

You clearly want to argue with someone "MAGA." I suggest you go find that someone.

No just noting the Orange Convict could really do with that advice. Many conservatives and a few MAGAs have gone public advising Demented Donny to do all the above, but alas he just can't seem to follow such sage advise....

 

[NatMorton]

Specifically, what policies?

Price controls are topical.

It would be more credible if you simply acknowledged what the data tells us: in her short time in the Senate Harris was a more reliably liberal vote than was Sanders.

Oh how about what were this 'liberal' votes that made then so liberal??? Voting to increase the federal minimum wage??? Federal abortion rights??? What liberal bills did Harris vote for that Bernie did not???

LOL, I'll type slower....
I simply note the old white guy could profit from taking that advice- like some of his supporters are publicly saying. Does it really matter who I say that toward??? If you don't think it's yours just walk away- simple actually. Keep responding and I get to keep posting that tRump needs that advice far more than Harris...

You’ve been given a link with the information you seek. I’m not here to spoon feed you.

Even Sanders isn't a "radical Marxist," and she's well to the right of Sanders.

True, Sanders is much more of an armchair Marxist.

Is that it? Nixon supported those. Was he a Marxist?

It would be difficult to throw a biscuit in the London Tube and not hit someone who is well to the left of either major party candidate for president.

Mind the gap.

 

[Along Came Jones]

Harris has a long history of being a rather moderate Democrat.
It is good to see that since being the nominee she is leaning more towards being a moderate progressive.

True. Emphasis on leaning more toward being a not-so-moderate progressive. Confirmation or a refutation ought to come this week during the convention.

 

[j brown's body]

You’ve been given a link with the information you seek. I’m not here to spoon feed you.

I didn't see any policies listed in the link. I'm left wondering when they ever voted on price controls.

 

[NatMorton]

Nixon supported those. Was he a Marxist?

No, Nixon was a moderate.

I was asked about policies characteristic of Marxism, not people. Price controls are central to a Marxist economy since markets, which set prices in a capitalist model, are now allowed to exist under Marxism.

Can I recommend that you try to stay on topic?

I disagree. Harris, left of her own free will, would certainly fit well within Labour Party policy making. Look at it this way, what Labour policy on a major issue (healthcare, taxes, role of government) do you think Harris would oppose? I can’t think of a single one.

 

[Fletch]

Oh MAGA doesn't define their slime attacks. Just rant and wail. For many MAGAnuts it is just the call to rend garments on cue from the Cult leader...

Since you pretend to be so wise in the ways of Marxism, why dont you define it for us.

Marxism is a failed political and social philosophy that gets presented by stupid people as the only alternative to the failed market capitalist political and social philosophy we currently practice in the US.

There are no “Marxist” adherents with anything close to power in the US.

No, he was not a Marxist. Obviously supporting price controls does not make one a Marxist.

 

[NatMorton]

But you did see mention of the methodology used to assess her votes, and you can go from there.

Doing your own research involves a bit more than clicking on a single link.

Those here throwing the term around are reticent to provide examples or support for their labeling.

Labour in England are social democrats, not Marxists or socialists by any stretch. I know you’re not ignorant, which leaves just one other reason you vomit idiocy.
