The far right is saying Harris is a radical leftist and the far left is saying she is a right winger

I think it is time to put some entities on ignore

1. I ignore both extremes.

2. I think so Bob

9. Yup. If it doesn't achieve progress, it's not progressivism.

History confirms without a single significant exception that all progressive advances were created by mainstream progressives.

Extremists calling themselves progressive sometimes destroy and retard progress by competent iconoclasts, but never achieve it. They loathed the New Dealers, and one of the NDers' most critical achievements was surviving the attacks that many other nations fell to.

Of course they don't like Kamala. We need to break up Big Tech, but at this point I'd be worried if they did.

17. Good point! Not sure what the far left does like these days..most run from their endorsement

3. Then she is in the middle . . ..

Also Senator Harris is not and never will be a RWer.

4. I'm seeing this too

Which puts her (and Biden) right in the center where, theoretically, most reasonable people are.

5. Fortunately, most progressives, and even those on the left realize what is at stake

[Proud Liberal Dem]

8. Right

The people at the extremes, at least on the left are relatively small in number, albeit often some of the loudest.

10. yes

6. Different standards

Within the democratic party, she's not the "far" or "radical" left. I don't think she's exactly a "blue dog" either. But from a conservative/right wing point of view she is "to the left of center".

I used to chuckle at work when the heavily conservative population would label me a "far left liberal". To them, anyone who is pro-choice is a radical leftist. I told the more than a few times that they had no idea what an actual far left liberal was.

After Bush II was elected I was discussing my concerns with them about him. One of them pushed the old talking point that in Texas he was able to work with both sides. I chuckled and said that democrats in Texas were not representative of democrats on both coasts. One of the gentlemen in the group, who had lived in Texas chuckled and said, "In Texas, a democrat is a republican that is pro-choice."

12. No doubt

13. Have a progressive Friend who actually left the Democratic party

He’s voting for Biden/Harris. He’s way past the point of juvenile political posturing. He wants Trump out, period.

15. Excellent

[Crunchy Frog]

14. The far right thinks that all Democrats are "radical leftists".

Or at least they pretend that's what they think. It's definitely their big talking point right now.
