Kamala works no? Now if she'd go with Bernie's pro-worker agenda, I'd cum and go to sleep in peace.
I'm expecting a continuation of the same neoliberal nonsense but one can dream.
Wait now, Joe did break with the neolibs on spending and workers rights. Not as hard as needed of course. But nevertheless he followed Kelton's advice on spending and strengthened labor including the NLRB. Now I'm not saying neoliberalism ended under Biden but I think it's important to acknowledge the breaks from the norm. 🥹
But to your point I'm afraid she or whoever ends up replacing Joe would revert back even on these points to standard neoliberalism. I hope it doesn't happen of course. The UAW smackdown was too boner-worthy. It has to happen again.
Folks, we do understand that when Kamala was a senator, her vote on topics were statistically aligned with Bernie Sanders.
While a senator, Kamala's votes aligned almost 100% with protecting the environment (according to the League of Conservation voters.
She agreed with Bernie Sanders "College for all" act which would fund tuition for lower income students looking to go to a public university.
She co-sponsered a bill to ban assault rifles, high capacity magazines, and to limit gunstores advertising campaigns.
She backed the "Medicare for all" bill sponsored by Bernie Sanders, which would have established a government funded Healthcare system which would provide health insurance to all Americans and remove private health insurance.
In terms of immigration, she wanted to put ICE under a microscope and reexamine their practices, she supports DACA, opposes a border wall, and wants to investigate a means to alleviate illegal immigration by attacking the problems in central and South America which is causing these folks to try to run to the USA.
At the end of the day, I would not be surprised if Biden was influenced by her ideas, because if you look at what he has done in his four year term, he has moved his political needle more left.
