The funny thing is they could easily do the old political trick and make false promises during election season. The Democrats did it all the time. Just lie that you'll give people proper healthcare then shrug after the election. Just lie that you'll prosecute the Wall Street plutocrats.

But they don't even want to pretend to be centre-left, they want to be Reagan democrats so fucking much they can't even fucking pretend to be anything else.

Vice President Kamala Harris has said in the current campaign that she supports raising the federal minimum wage. But her campaign hasn’t specified an exact figure.

They could have made this the main message of their campaign, but it's not even a bullshit promise at this point.
