Is that a joke question? The Democrats platform is by and large progressive. If it was moderate we’d be talking about President Harris.


What about Harris is "too progressive?".

My main criticism of her is the same as Biden, historically her record is so centrist she could easily be a centrist Republican like Biden, and nobody would question it.

Literally in Senate, Biden and Harris could have identified as R of D and nobody would question it, and blind guesses based on voting record, most people would never get it right beyond the 50/50 guess chance...

Is that a joke answer?

Seems to me that the old party members want to keep it moderate but the young 'uns want it to be progressive, and the issue is still somewhat undecided.

I viewed Harris as more progressive than moderate but whatever, I'd like to see what there current platform says: not that I'd ever vote their ticket.

No war and no tarriffs is good enough for me

I am not anti-war, necessarily: sometimes it is necessary.

Trump erred in not getting the UN / our erstwhile allies to join in, as Bush did with Saddam.

Iran is a royal PITA and I understand the desire to smite them, but it needs to be a collective effort.
