I often see the accusation of virtue-signaling without actual support for virtue-signaling. Can you give me a concrete example of it, rather than some vague hand-waving about diversity or freedom?
Just look up Kamala Harris' recent political ad. I'm sure you can find it easily.
And your language - "prancing," for example - how is that other than your own polemic? I could give you a whole list of things accomplished during Biden's term, but would it matter to you?
Yes, those things matter. And they should be talked about. But they were not the things high up on the list of things that we really need to be addressing. That list that neither side wants to talk about because their corporate sponsors aren't going to like the solutions. Which is why they are not having the much of the positive effect for democrats that they would like.
Who, exactly, corrupted the Supreme Court? Surely not the ones "prancing around?"
The billionaires and their corporate conglomerates that are corrupting the courts and the legislature spend their money on both sides of the isle so that no matter who wins, they'll own 'em. Their corruption is not partisan.
Who raised the minimum wage in California, and whose feathers have been permanently ruffled as a result?
And still there are giant homeless camps all over the state. The democratic politicians throw huge piles of money at the problem and it all gets swallowed up by middlemen and political cronies leaving the homeless still homeless. Billions of dollars have been spent and the problem just keeps getting worse. Because the money never gets applied to the problem.
Who will fight tooth and nail to *prevent* any kind of universal healthcare? Certainly not any of those "prancing" Democrats, surely?!
Biden voted against health care reform every time. It's not the republicans or democrats that are destroying this country, It's the fact that they have both been bought off by a few very rich and very powerful and very greedy corporate oligarchies.
Are you speaking for "most people" about the things that do matter?
More and more people are realizing how bad things have really gotten, and how hopelessly corrupted the government really is. It's why it's so difficult to win them over with the usual flag-waving and moral platitudes. They need to see some real action, and they aren't seeing it. I think Harris could win in a huge landslide if she can muster the courage and insight to stand up and address these very real problems head on. And the whole democratic part could win in a landslide if they stood up with her.
But they aren't going to cross their corporate sponsors, most of them. And even if she wins and she tries to make real changes, most of her fellow democrats will sabotage her efforts just like they did when Obama tried to reform health care.
