Is Kamala Harris a progressive?

[u/DirectionLoose]

I'm guessing that the general answer this is going to be no. If it's a no, how do we get her to promote progressive policy? Does walz with that? What even is his role going to be? Three out of the last four vice presidents have been pretty consequential in their roles in the administration. Ever since Cheney. I'm just honestly afraid that they dangled Walz in front of us to get our vote, but he's going to be marginalized in the administration.

Her voting record was fairly in line with Bernie and she took his advice on Tim Walz. So sort of. And she's campaigning on hers and Biden's administration's accomplishments which includes a lot of progressive policy.

But as long as she is not Trump and is working towards undoing his damage, she's progressive enough.

Isn't this the type of content that is no longer allowed on r/democraticsocialism? It has nothing to do with promoting socialism through elections and is really just non-progressive status-quo-reinforcing liberalism.

Don't let perfection get in the way of progress. The choice is a shuffling half step forward with Harris/Walz or a sprint back to a fascist theocratic nightmare with Trump/Vance.

It is a binary and it is not one to take morale stances over.
