      Harris is militaristic (pledging unlimited support for genocide, making the US the “most lethal in the world”), far to the right of where Biden ran on immigration in 2020 (they basically adopted all of Trump’s policies against refugees and the bipartisan border bill was pure fascist shit), they dropped opposition to the death penalty from the platform, she’s pledged to put a Republican in her cabinet, they want to roll out more trade war bullshit against China, she has completely backtracked on fracking and now wants to expand it, and it looks like she’s going to replace the FTC chair with a probusiness puppet to protect US monopolies.

      She’s basically al 2000s Republican. Hence, Dick Cheney endorsing her.

        Not just endorsed by Dick Cheney, actively campaigning with his daughter and thanking Dick Cheney for his distinguished service on stage. War crimes are service to Kamala Harris apparently.

        What’s the source of this?

            She also repeated it during her closing remarks during the presidential debate with Trump. Here’s the transcript, just scroll towards the end where Kamala speaks for the last time: here

          Not just “good at its job” but specifically the greatest in the world. She’s telling you she is going to increase funding for the military even more, even though we already out spend everyone else. It’s a very right-wing position.

          And specifically most lethal.

          That’s a weird choice of words. Yeah, militaries kill people, but the fetishizing of butchery is troubling. She gonna adopt Israeli policy of bombing hospitals?

          Killing is different than winning. For example, the nazis killed 26 million Soviets, mostly civilians. That is roughly 17 percent of their population. The US killed something like 20 percent of the population of Korea. Both lost.

          She could say “most effective” but she said “most lethal”

      Lol how about how Biden drops out of election. Did we get to hold primaries or were you told who was going to be the candidate?
