I read it because of the title, but it's just some shithead that wants them to move further right:
They are already creating the groundwork for sucking more corporate dick.
Holy shit. They really think Harris was "far left"??
Wait, there was nothing progressive about this campaign except for paying a little lip service to legalizing weed.
How can this be a rejection of the far left when Harris campaigned as a moderate (e.g. Cheney)? If republican voters are going to think Democrats are communist regardless of how moderate the Democrats are, maybe moderating isn't a good strategy. If the only choice is between right-wing and lite right-wing, right-wing voters will choose the real thing. Even then, Trumpists will still call democrats communists.
Many left polices are popular when they aren't labelled as left

Thats the fun part, people consider dems "far left" because...... Reasons, I guess? This country is so far right just the idea of building more housing counts as communist.
True. Even in California, the affordable housing measure and rent control measures both failed.
Reminds me of that joke about how there are only two races: White, and political. It's disheartening to see folks (some here on Lemmy) confusing listening to the concerns of brown-skinned people with leftism. The Arab-Americans in Michigan, for a relevant example, are just people with a range of political opinions like the rest of us.
No war but class war, buddy

Hardly surprising coming from the Star Trib these days... I knew it was bad when they refused to even endorse a candidate.
