She has some criticisms for her past as an attorney, but I’m not sure why she’s so disliked now. What has she done to engender such distaste from the public?

It’s crazy how the right screams that Biden is extremely left while he’s center at BEST. Just shows how far they continue to shift right. I mean hell, some of them stopped watching Fox “news” because it became too “liberal” for their taste. That should tell you a whole lot.
It’s kind of funny, but also really fucking sad when these people scream about Biden being a far left communist who wants to destroy America with radical socialism or whatever.
I don’t know how many actually believe it sincerely. Well, a lot do, but I think there’s also an element of just shouting buzzwords without knowing what they mean. Parroting, really.
Like, dude… Please come to where I live and see that our centre-right party has identical policies to the Democrats. Overton Window is extremely fucked in America right now.
Went to a new dentist, and the hygienist started out cleaning my teeth saying she doesn’t talk about politics and likes to keep thing lite. 20 minutes later I was being told how socialism is the number one threat to America and how people need to wake up… Scary when people can be that worked up about something they clearly don’t understand. More so when the person they are talking to has a mouth full of dental tools and hasn’t said shit.
Yep, I’m in Canada. You should hear my soon-to-be late elderly neighbour go on about the ills of communism while the paramedics and Medigas trucks are at his house every other day.
It’s not crazy at all. They want the social expectation of what “far left” is to get established at Biden as a baseline. So they’re going to tie that label as much as they can so that when actual progressives put out a platform they’re seen as completely insane and non-viable despite the rest of the developed world doing it for decades.
Real world center is American Red Party Communist because this country is so fucked
I think this is the Overton Window changing.
I get the impression that someone like FD Roosevelt would not be possible in the US now.
I’m sorry? Fox News is too ‘liberal’ for them?
Yeah, Fox News sometimes tells the truth and kinda advocates for Democracy in a half-hearted kind of way. That’s too liberal now for some Republicans, who believe that Democracy is cringe as a concept and want to get rid of the people they blame for our nations problems (right now trans people and Jews). They have moved to OAN and NewsMax.
As a centrist, both sides scream that the other is to the extreme.
Right: “We should exterminate all people not like us”
Left: “We should work together and build a better future“
Centre: “Why are you so similar‽”
Literally proving my point. Nobody is saying to exterminate anyone except literal Nazis. I’ve had people claim that the left wants to be able to abort up til birth. You see how that is a gross mischarcterization of hundreds of millions of Americans? If you are claiming your side wants nothing but good and is perfect some the other is the literal devil there is something seriously wrong.
Oh fuck off mate.
We’ve all seen the end result go far-right governments when on power.

Which minority communities are the supporters and politicians of the Democrat party calling for the extermination of? I know Republicans and their surrogates have started talking about “hunting Democrats with dogs” and having gay people “line up against the wall”, but I must have missed that rhetoric from the Democrats. Do you have a link or something I could check out?
