She was perfectly willing to alienate the anti-genocide left. But she ended up not sounding like she was going to improve anything. She ended up sounding like what she was. A pro-genocide centrist. I firmly believe she would have helped pass any progressive legislation that came across her desk, but to win she needed to be pushing the country more left on policy. I firmly believe that she would have continued the biden betrayal of the left and the unconditional support for genocide, only with a republican on her cabinet. People we would normally write-off as pulled too far right actually are juts looking for leader with a message that gives them hope. Whatever gives you justification for moving even further to the right. Genocide support wasn't far enough rightward for you. permalink fedilink source parent
