Yes he has. He has led the most progressive Presidential administration since LBJ. That’s a low bar, sadly, but it doesn’t change the fact that he absolutely has pushed the needle to the left. This is why when talk in the party started cranking up about him needing to step aside, his strongest supporters pushing back against that weren’t centrists like Pelosi and Hakeem Jeffries. It was the progressives, led most strongly by AOC.
I have my concerns about Harris, believe me. Still…I’m a trans woman. Trump, Vance, and Project 2025 will not go well for me. At all. And I do believe Harris can be influenced by progressives to keep nudging things to the left. Am I happy about her promise to put a Republican on her cabinet? No, I’m not. Our Democracy will survive having a Republican in a Democratic President’s cabinet. Our Democracy won’t survive four more years of Trump. This is not a difficult choice.
