Yeah this is totally warranted given the recent news. I mean, one side trying to expand medicare, the other gutting it. One side trying to close Guantanamo bay, the other opening concentration camps on it. One side trying to get money out of politics, the other side destroying democracy for want of more money.

Totally helpful, totally warranted, OP. Well done. Way to go. You're so cool and centrist.

Got some citations for those claims? Particularly given Kamala's opposition to expanding Medicare.

yeah sure, I love wasting time arguing with bad faith actors! You're clearly in the special group of the best thinkers, it's so fun to spend time talking with people like you!

Good to know you just say shit you can't prove, I won't bother taking you seriously then.

You know that Kamala isn't the only Democrat in existence right

You know that's who they picked for president right?

And? Despite what Trump says, presidents don't have unilateral power, and members of the president's party can do and say things different from the president

In case you aren't aware, the president is the most powerful politician in America. The policies they promote have the best chance of succeeding. Polical parties pick a person to represent them to run for president. Democrats picked Kamala and her polices to represent them.

🙄🙄🙄

This is how American politics has worked for hundreds of years. Yes, the president (really the executive branch) holds a lot of power. So do the other two branches of government. One branch can't really do anything without working with the other two, which means that compromise is a frequent theme throughout the history of American politics.
