Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Again, to say Stein is far to the Left of Harris, but Harris is only slightly to the Left of Trump is ignorant at best, disingenuous at worst.
Did even you read my responses to your specific examples? I think I demonstrated pretty handily that Harris is center-right.
She's not for Medicare for All, she's not for universal debt abolition, she's not for a jobs guarantee, she's willing to break strikes for the sake of the capitalist economy, and most importantly she's a militaristic freak that wants to further increase funding for the military and give unlimited support to Israel as it does genocide and drags us into WW3
She's a 2000s era Republican.
Which has nothing to do with whether Harris is further left from Trump than she is right of Stein.
Trump and Harris agree on militarizing the border, on increasing funding to the military, on unlimited support for Israel's genocide, on support for police, on increasing fracking and oil drilling and on building pipelines, I could go on.
Trump is certainly farther to the right on a lot of issues, but they actually have broad agreement on a lot of issues too.
Hitler-lite vs Hitler-delux.
Okay tankie
Whatever dronie. 🙄
Sorry, tankie-lite
When Trump steals the election you'll be out in the streets with me anyway to oppose his regime, why do you insist on making enemies?
When Trump wins the election it'll be because your rhetoric pushed people not to vote in a way that prevents him from winning.
If he wins it'll be because of voter suppression and electioneering in states like Georgia, as well as the Democrats betraying Palestinian-Americans and demanding they vote for their own familis to die. You are wasting your time being mad at people that have no power.
You have real enemies.
There's that good ol' fashioned tankie-lite virtue-signaling deflection.
