To me, it seems like Harris's speech at the DNC indicated a strong move to the right. Seems like she's going to campaign on have the "most lethal military," stopping immigration, and being tough on crime.

To my knowledge, this seems like a radical shift. I don't think Obama campaigned as far right. I wasn't old enough during Clinton's reign to really follow politics, but I guess he presided over the "3 strikes" policy and weakening of SSI/SSD benefits?

I wanted to get the Lemmy community's opinions on this, because I made a comment 2 months ago, wishing for someone with these qualities to replace Joe Biden who at the time wasn't considering dropping out. I will be holding myself accountable to my pledges.

Thanks to everyone who answered on !politics@lemmy.world, but only links are allowed so it was removed. I did follow through with my donation to charity regardless.

If you have any suggestions/sidebar rule modification requests feel free to put them here. This is a work in progress and hopefully it can build into a positive community.
