    Khan is currently the single most functional appointment in out government. I hope to fuck that Harris pledges to retain her - dropping her would throw doubt over her platform statements so far.

        Yep. If corporations are universally attacking a thing, you can be certain that thing would make lives better for the 99%.

        Think about it. Corporations still fund fascism. They still fund war machines and genocide. They still fund GHG pollution and ecocide. They fight to keep millions of people dying painfully every year, so they can extract as much value from the suffering as possible (big pharma, private “healthcare”, and insurance). The ONLY thing they universally disapprove of are things which would damage their profits, which is almost everything that would benefit average joe, and society as a whole.

      It’s like one of the few things you can point to in the administration that’s actually been great.

      People need to put pressure on her to do the right thing.

      There’s a story that FDR met with some union reps and told them: “You’ve convinced me. I agree with what you’ve said. Now go out and make me do it.”

      For a politician to take a bold action, it has to be clear that people want them to take that action. If people want Harris to keep Khan, they need to speak up.
