That’s the cool thing about denial; no matter how much information I give you, you just say, “Actually, that progressive thing is centrism,” and continue your delusion.
She absolutely did not have the same things. Biden’s BBB had Medicare expansions, universal Pre-K, and the expansion of the child tax credit. Harris ran on small business loans and first-time homebuyer’s credits. Biden ran a working class platform that Sanders helped write, while Harris ran a middle-class campaign with Mark Cuban.
Harris ran on taxing corporations, capital gains tax, legal marijuana, abortion rights and erasing medical debt. She also supported Medicare for all at one point even if she didn’t commit to it on the campaign trail.
Her capital gains tax proposal was 28%, much lower than Biden’s proposed 44%; abortion rights and legal Marijuana are comfortable center-left territory in 2024; easing medical debt instead of abolishing it is the definition of a centrist solution, and she doesn’t get credit for supporting Medicare for All when she abandoned that position in the middle of the 2019/2020 primary.
Reducing the proposed capital gains tax from 44% to 28% and abandoning Medicare for All for medical debt easement are objective metrics that show the Democrats becoming less progressive in 2024. If you want to delude yourself into thinking the opposite is true, i can’t stop you, but I’m bored of proving you wrong.

Harris campaigned on the same things but you call her a centrists.
It’s funny how you change what you consider progressive and centrists to fit your argument.
That’s called denial.

Increasing capital gains tax is progressive regardless of how much.
Abortion/marijuana are definitely left of center in 2024, especially in red states.
Erasing medical debt is progressive regardless of what you wanted instead.
This is the mindset responsible for our lack of progress as a nation.
