Is anyone surprised after hearing her acceptance speech?

Her acceptance speech was bog standard for a democratic nominee, she played to both conservatives and progressives. Don't act like she's suddenly now a conservative because she pandered to the military and veterans.

She was pandering to moderate to more right wing conservatives.

because the campaign knows any relatively sane person is already not voting for trump. the campaign is try to pull in a few of the "stupid" / "distracted" / "both sides bad" / "only voted republican before but they are weird now" people.

we wont really know anything about a harris administration until she starts selecting appointments. so far her VP selection is tentatively 'opefull.

We know that blackrock is driving her economic policy, you know, the same people that have made housing unaffordable for most of the nation. And the rest of the cabinet will be handpicked by Citibank.

The ticket is pandering to progressives as well, there's no way in hell Tim Walz would be going up there and saying Healthcare and Housing are human rights otherwise.

Yeah, but he's not arguing for a bloody revolution followed by mass executions, therefore he's a Nazi.

They may be human rights, but those are rights that we will never get in the US.
