Current Events > Would Kamala Have a Much Better Chance If She Catered Solely to Leftists?

(+) Yeah! (+)

• Cut ties with Israel and send in the army to stop them from destroying Palestine.
• Stop funding Ukraine and instead spend more on social stimulus checks.
• Safely dismantle all nuclear arms.
• Ban all jails and prisons.
• Enforce an open border policy.
• Join BRICS and foster friendlier relations with Cuba, China, Russia, Iran, etc.

• Arms embargo? Maybe. I'm not confident this would be as winning a move as many think it would be.
• More classist rhetoric against the rich and corporations? Maybe.

Safely dismantle all nuclear arms.
Ban all jails and prisons.
Enforce an open border policy.

Cutting ties with Israel wouldn't solve anything. We're be losing any sort of position to get Israel to stop while losing out on a valuable ally in the middle east.

But if Harris went all in on these positions, she likely wouldn't even win over the same Leftists as they'll find the next thing to complain she's not doing enough on.

Safely dismantle all nuclear arms.
Ban all jails and prisons.
Enforce an open border policy.

Those are some of the dumbest fucking policies I've ever seen. Like so fucking dumb it's probably what Republicans are trying to get people to believe it's what leftists want.

Like, I get it, in an ideal world everybody would get along and sing kumbaya around a bonfire in the streets, but come on, you live in the real world.

wow what a good faith representation of leftist politics in the US

I dont see how. The leftists are already voting for her.

While a lot of leftists have gradually come around on nuclear energy, they still believe it would be best if every country were to give up on nukes as deterrents

It's mostly the liberals and a handful of leftists who are giving her their votes.

Any leftist in the US who is not actively voting for Kamala for any reason at all deserves what they're going to fucking get under a Trump presidency

There are a large amount of Americans who are actively prevented from voting.

Hypothetically speaking, would Kamala Harris have a much better chance of winning the presidency if she were to cater solely to leftists while ignoring liberals, centrists, moderate conservatives, and everyone else? For instance, a left-focused Kamala would likely promise to enact the following ideas below.
* Cut ties with Israel and send in the army to stop them from destroying Palestine.
* Stop funding Ukraine and instead spend more on social stimulus checks.
* Safely dismantle all nuclear arms.
* Ban all jails and prisons.
* Enforce an open border policy.
* Join BRICS and foster friendlier relations with Cuba, China, Russia, Iran, etc.

• Abolish private property.
• Impose wealth cap per family unit to prevent financial inequality.
• Nationalize important industries like gas and oil.
• Ban cars in favor of bikes and public transportation.
• Provide UBI system to every citizen with a priority on those with low to no income.
• Offer free healthcare funded by the government.
• Weaken both Congress and Supreme Court in favor of centralizing power to a left-wing president.
• Outlaw private religious schools in favor of free education system tailor-made to foster unity and tolerance.
• Disallow the use of AI to infringe on creativity.
• Ban the creation and merging of new corporations while nationalizing existing ones.
• Dismantle the country's capitalist system in favor of one that is more communist-based.
• Replace the police system with therapists and counselors to help rehabilitate criminals.

??? So instead of listing "leftist" positions, you posted unhinged lunatic positions.

They also support policies that we ourselves might find appealing.
* Abolish private property.
* Impose wealth cap per family unit to prevent financial inequality.
* Nationalize important industries like gas and oil.
* Ban cars in favor of bikes and public transportation.
* Provide UBI system to every citizen with a priority on those with low to no income.
* Offer free healthcare funded by the government.
* Weaken both Congress and Supreme Court in favor of centralizing power to a left-wing president.
* Outlaw private religious schools in favor of free education system tailor-made to foster unity and tolerance.
* Disallow the use of AI to infringe on creativity.
* Ban the creation and merging of new corporations while nationalizing existing ones.
* Dismantle the country's capitalist system in favor of one that is more communist-based.
* Replace the police system with therapists and counselors to help rehabilitate criminals.

• Dumb
• Dumb
• Good
• Dumb because of the word "ban". Should be "heavy investment in bikes and public transportation to disincentive the use of cars"
• Good in theory, needs a lot of societal work and automation of the critical, menial work before it can be used in practice, IMO
• Universal healthcare, but yes, good
• Bad. Dictatorships are generally frowned upon
• Good
• Good
• Dumb
• Dumb, especially since it sounds like one extreme to the other
• Good if it's not a total replacement. Police are still needed, just ones who aren't sociopaths.

Stop funding Ukraine and instead spend more on social stimulus checks.

Ban all jails and prisons.

Join BRICS and foster friendlier relations with Cuba, China, Russia, Iran, etc.

and not a leftist position

i thought you where better than this humble

I'm merely parroting policies that a lot of leftists online have been supporting, particularly those in left-leaning subreddits.

uh huh sure

*sigh* well my faith in you is now fully broken

I see. It's sad that we just can't see eye to eye on this.

Good if it's not a total replacement. Police are still needed, just ones who aren't sociopaths.

Unfortunately, the four-lettered acronym is still a powerful sentiment towards those who highly distrust cops.

Many people want cops to stop existing, period. And go back to the Wild West days of vigilantes dealing with criminals.

wow what a good faith representation of leftist politics in the US

send in the army to stop them from destroying Palestine.

Stop funding Ukraine

Join BRICS and foster friendlier relations with Cuba, China, Russia, Iran, etc.
