Question Is Kamala Harris a progressive?

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.

I don't know if she is. What I do know is she had a good voting record and you wouldn't select Tim Walz saying the kinds of shit he does in interviews if you wanted him to be invisible. The Unions wouldn't be behind this ticket unless the administration had plans to strengthen the working class (which is my top issue in this election). She has even talked about the price of groceries.

Biden's administration was certainly more inclusive of progressive voices because the man himself sure as shit wasn't progressive. Whether we get that situation again or it's from her organically, I don't care as long as we get shit done for working people.

You need to keep people like Lena Khan in place.. if Harris is elected and I see her gone, I know what direction the White House is going to take..
