No, she isn't. What needs to be said is that she presents far less danger for our country than Trump does. It really sucks having two candidates you don't like, but for the sake of integrity, you have to always choose what you believe is the lesser of two evils.

Douche and Turd Sandwich, every last time. Does get a little old.

Hoping to be pleasantly surprised by Harris once she doesn't have to pander to the "center" - and I say "center" because anyone considering voting for Trump in the first place is not in the "center" and if they are, we're worse off than I realized.

Nothing I've seen while she's been in office suggests she's going to be anything but a Mitt Romney tier corporate hack.

She's got a rich and eager pool of progressive voters to court - voters she was happy to pander to back in 2020 - who she has spurned since she became VP. She's taken an outright reactionary stance on immigration. She's abandoned any support of a public health insurance option. She's all in on genocide in Gaza. She's taking enormous amounts of money from Crypto banks and gig economy CEOs. She got an endorsement from Dick fucking Cheney, so you can guess where she stands on fossil fuels.

But she's not Trump, so...

Still hoping to be wrong though.
