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?

    I’m not American but I get the impression the left hates her because she’s a fairly right wing neoliberal?

    When Biden was first elected, I saw one of those “what you order from Wish vs what you get” memes about this.

    Had Bernie Sanders & AOC on the “expectation” side and Biden & Harris on the “reality” side.

      Doesn’t help that she was a prosecutor in California during three strikes. She’s basically a cop.

        Ah, that’s right. I had never heard of her until the US election and I remember looking her up and being a little dismayed.

      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.

          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.
