    I really don’t have a problem with this. She’s a center right candidate from a center right party - of course she’ll make an appeal to center right voters.

    Sure, I wish we had a left wing candidate or a left wing party. But you can’t vote in the election you want, you vote in the election you’ve got.

        Working with fascists gives fascists power. And fascists have money to give to centrists to move further right.

        Why else would they not want money? It’s not like lives at home are in danger, the lives abroad clearly don’t matter much.

      Exactly. This is billionaire media controlled America. We don’t get to have a left wing party, we get a “left wing” relative to the rightmost wing party which also goes and calls their so-called left wing opposition communist… It’s laughably absurd.

        We have a strongly right leaning elite and a government that was never designed to represent the will of the majority is how I would put it.
