I really like Porter. I’ve seen leftists label her a liberal, but her time in Washington showed that she cares about the working class, so even if she’s more of a centrist than a lot of us would like, she’s still an improvement.
I actually agree. I’ve always considered her to be a progressive (or at least what’s considered progressive in the United States), but the last time I brought her up on Lemmy I got jumped on and told she’s a liberal.
I love those clips of her when she was grilling CEOs as member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. She has fantastic “get to the point and don’t fuck around” energy which is desperately needed in US politics.
It probably was an .ml comm, yeah. This was when I was just starting out on Lemmy and was actually excited to talk to the “leftists” on the communist comms. I was hopelessly naive.
Considering the past couple elections she’s probably as left as we’re gonna get here in California, barring a charismatic young mamdani like figure coming out of nowhere.

She’s progressive. She a leftist in my eyes. She’s definitely not aligned with the neolibs. Also, she reminds me of Phyllis from The Office.

Did you bring her up in a ml or hexbear community? Lemmy isn’t a monolith and there are some people in it hell-bent to call even AOC a liberal.
AOC is liberal as hell
Her standing on Israel is suspect.
