    Listen man, I’m all for news about candidates backing things but can we please start putting in * comments indicating whether or not they actually followed through with any actual progress or at least describing the situation at hand.

    We just went through a years worth of Biden pretending to care about Gaza, and 2 months of Harris also pretending to care about Gaza. And there are still people on here that are convinced the uncommitted movement is going to vote for her, or that she is actually going to change her policy, which is dangerous because its exactly the same situation that caused Hillary to lose in 2016.

    People are out here mast posting about Harris backing decriminalization of weed, yet everyone older than 30 pointed out that democrats have been promising to properly achieve that for 2 decades now, and that Harris refuses to mention her antics as state prosecutor.

    I don’t want to discount the positive here, especially because Trump would probably make a union assassination board lol, but we need to remember what actually transpires vs what a candidate claims.

    spoiler

    It only took 5 seconds for people to mention how Biden struck down the railroad union and their strike, and he stated that he doesn’t want to negotiate with collective bargaining. Harris is his VP, and therefore she extends his policy. This could easily backfire, and we could just have a repeat situation where nothing happens for several weeks, and then all of a sudden a random backroom deal materializes out of nowhere, and nothing actually gets accomplished aside from PR.
