I've seen a lot more people adamant about voting for the democratic candidate right now, after Biden dropped out. To some extent, I think that's to be expected, as we all knew Biden isn't really capable of being the president of a country right now*. However, this isn't in line with what the people in this subreddit actually say.

Whenever there is the discussion as to whether voting for democrats or for an anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist or working class candidate, there used to be people advocating for voting democrat in the subreddit, but not nearly as much as now. And here's what's most curious: these people never actually say anything regarding Kamala, they just say things regarding trump and the republicans and project 2025. So that got me thinking, if these are the main points here, and if that hasn't changed at all since Biden dropped out, what is the actual cause of the change in this subreddit's posture regarding the elections and the democrats? Why has the change in candidate, from reelection of the current president to the election of the current vice president made people go from "maybe we should try to change things for the better for once" to "Vote democrat or else you'll be a literal chattel slave!!!"



 *Although Biden clearly doesn't have the mental capacity to be a country's president, that hasn't really affected the way the country is run. That's because in the USA, politics aren't made by just one personality in government doing things he thinks are right. They are made by a party and by the party's donors. For example, Biden doesn't understand the geopolitical rivalry between the USA and China, yet still announced a 100% tax on EVs cause it would be beneficial to USA billionaires (main donors) such as Elon musk, whose company Tesla can't compete with Chinese EVs.

Some of it is astroturfing. People from other subs and bots are boosting pro-Harris posts and trying to push the idea that she'll be better than Biden on Palestine (she won't) and other ideas. 


It's why the campaign of "Mamala" and "Coconut Kamala" stuff looks so similar to the "Dark Brandon" shit from before. They can't push her with policy, so they're coming in here with large numbers to do a vibes-based popularity campaign.



It'll probably fade out after a bit. She's every bit the corporate friendly capitalist liberal zionist cop that Biden is. People will eventually realize that, but many people are also uncomfortable with accepting that it's a system level issue that won't be resolved with swapping out a candidate.

I agree she probably won't be meaningfully different. But she isn't an open Zionist (she might be privately, but I haven't seen her openly declare it like Biden has) who would be glad to see the extermination of Palestinians at least. She's already supposedly not going to preside over the senate for the address from Netanyahu, which is a good sign. We'll have to see later this week. I think she'll hold onto her Cease Fire stance (which is the bare minimum for us), because if she doesn't she probably loses Michigan and possibly the whole election. It's smart to oppose Netanyahu, who will likely openly endorse Trump either at the speech or in the coming weeks. He'll force an opposition position to the democrats, which benefits us.

You're spot on with corporate friendly capitalist and cop bit though. 

  
She sucks, but she's better than Biden and better than Trump, and we're not going to be given anyone else better right now.

Hard pass.  Voting third party in a swing state and so is everyone I know.

Just to be clear, not a single person voted for Harris.  She dropped out of the 2020 primary.  She wasn't voted to be the VP.  She was just hand picked in a smoke filled back room by DNC elites for 2024 nomination.

Nope, not a chance.
