The metric you are using is not the metric the actual real world uses for center left. You are bringing your internet lefty definitions and declaring that I'm wrong to say only internet lefties would use them. Major parties in the middle of the political spectrum are not typically pushing for the overthrow of Capitalism.
Being left of center is not solely defined by being Marxist, and one country, even if it actually was Marxist and not 3 Capitalisms in a trenchcoat, would not define the standard of what constitutes "left" in the world.
I'm not saying Marxism isn't Left. I'm saying it's not literally the only thing that IS Left.
Ok I don't expect you to see it but this is exactly why I said it's a lie that online lefties tell themselves. Globally, in real life politics, yes you absolutely can be center-left without demanding the overthrow of Capitalism.
They want to use the power of government to reduce the harms of capitalism, via minimum wages, social safety nets, child tax credit, subsidizing more environmentally friendly energy production and electric cars.
No they are not as far left as you and the people you talk to online, I didn't say that. You are allowed to want different policies. You're just incorrect to call them right wing.
"Nearing toss-up status" aka Trump is still winning above the margin for error. Most likely if Harris wins FL it would be after winning PA, MI, WI, NC, GA, AZ, and thus easily the election.
Flood Insurance Risk Rating 2.0 is kind of sneakily the second best environmental policy Biden got done (after IRA). Actually charging places in flood plains the amount it costs to rebuild, rather than subsidizing it so people repeatedly rebuild in places that flood all the time, will incentivize people slowly to move away from those areas, or at least pay what it costs to live there and know what they're getting into.
More accurately, a vote for Stein is a vote for whichever major party candidate the voter wouldn't have voted for. In most cases, someone voting for the Green Party would vote for Harris, so it's a vote for Trump.
That isn't a moral judgement, it's the facts of a two party system. -1 vote for Harris = +1 vote for Trump, no other votes matter.
And that's not telling someone you don't consider their political beliefs. Considering their political beliefs, they should vote for the major party candidate that they agree with the most, or they will effectively be voting for the one they agree with least.
That's not the approach with Trump supporters because Trump is the major party candidate they agree with most, by definition. If anything one should try to get Trump supporters to vote 3rd party, Libertarian or for RFK or whoever.
Bad headline because it implies Harris or "the media" did something wrong, when it's just his typical schtick of demanding someone be jailed for something that isn't illegal.
There's zero evidence that it's happening "often" so I'm mostly using the space to point out that there's more to "church" in America than the white evangelical politics-forward churches they see represented on TV. Those pastors are on TV because they are the exception.
Every church I've ever been to has been carefully non-partisan on candidates. It's not just tax status, they don't want to cause parishioners to feel unwelcome because they need the attendance.
I know some churches are being overly political, sure, but I absolutely believe the majority are doing the right thing.
