Liberals having normal reactions (with Bonus content from this subreddit!)

So I normally don't mind shitting on Democrat candidates, especially when they're established politicians to begin with. That being said, ever since she got endorsed by Biden, every single one of my progressive/lefty subreddits I follow have been flooded with negative Kamala articles and posts that date back 7+ years. I hate to break it to everyone here, but Kamala is as left of a candidate as you're going to see in 2024. An open convention will produce someone to the right of her. Instead of instantly dogpiling, why don't we just wait to see what her policies are? Yes, the liberal response of "enjoy camps" is crazy, but to also say you're not voting for her before we even really know what her big policies are is wild too

And if Strasser was  "as left of a candidate as you're going to get", then people should still call him out...

Yess leftists should not criticize neoliberal politicians. They should wait and see...

You are all so pathetic. IF you lived in Europe you would be standard centrist socdems. Just a bunch of right-wingers...

The key difference, though, is that most (all?) of those European countries have established leftist or left-leaning parties and/or do not have to negotiation a two-party system. We do not have the infrastructure. I’m not sure why people can’t see that this is a massive hurdle to clear. Creating new party infrastructure is not the same as participating in existing leftist parties. And in countries like the UK, they can’t even maintain those parties. So idk what you want us to do here, especially in between now and November. No one should line up behind Kamala uncritically or even at all before she proves herself a little. But it’s too late to change course now. I don’t mean that in terms of “wait until next election please!” Like most libs say to delay anything. I mean we literally have like 105 days until Election Day. Even less when you think about early voting. That is not enough time to do much of anything that will affect the 2024 presidential election.
I feel like people are ignoring the material conditions on the ground here. That seems like bad leftist praxis to me.
