    She’s being called a socialist by the people who call everyone a socialist.

    She’s being called a conservative because, as a prosecutor, her record was notoriously lopsided in prosecuting nonviolent drug users and truants.

    I call her a conservative because, well, the Democratic Party has become an objectively conservative party. (Assuming you give them credit for their actions and not their words.) Hell, we lost our right to bodily autonomy and the Democrats’ response was to fundraise, even though they had the presidency AND Congress.

      I feel like people really don’t get how (especially filibustering) you can do extremely few to fix things. It’s very easy to break stuff, and do things worse, because you can just block things and make nothing get done, program expire, etc. But actually repairing stuff and getting new meaningful legislation that will improve the current state is almost impossible when it doesn’t have broad support in both parties.
