    During his speech, Spectrum reports that McConnell called the Walz-Harris ticket “the far left of the Democratic Party.”

    “And by the way, that’s most Democrats today,” McConnell said, according to Spectrum.

    Oh, no! Harris and Walz are representing the will of the majority of the people! Whatever the fuck is to be done about democracy?!

      It’s also not possible for most democrats to be on the far left of their party (unless the remaining minority are on average even further to the right of their party). If everyone’s further left than you’re expecting, that’s just the party’s new average center position.

      Literally every dem presidential candidate is the Most Furthest Leftistest candidate in history.

      Biden was the most leftist politician ever the year he beat Sanders. Clinton was an extremists Marxist in 2016. Obama was literally Stalin in 2008. John Kerry was going to be to the left of the Vietcong in 2004. Al Gore was a Manchurian deep state CCP asset in 2000. Etc, etc.

      So of course we just now discover the ultra-left agenda of a California AG and her friend the Minnesota hog father two months before the general election. Shame McConnell didn’t think to warn us sooner.
