Kamala had to be carried as VP, she had absolutely no business being the nomination.

Shit, the only reason she was made VP was because of the identity politics of having yet another ancient white guy in office.

Sorry I double responded, I meant to reply to another commenter and left it here by accident.

Although she definitely more left leaning than Biden.

She ran to biden's right. biden never promised to put a republican on his cabinet. He never campaigned with cheneys.

All in all, Harris played the gamble too safe and was trying desperately not to alienate anyone.

She was perfectly willing to alienate the anti-genocide left.

But she ended up not sounding like she was going to improve anything.

She ended up sounding like what she was. A pro-genocide centrist.

I firmly believe she would have helped pass any progressive legislation that came across her desk, but to win she needed to be pushing the country more left on policy.

I firmly believe that she would have continued the biden betrayal of the left and the unconditional support for genocide, only with a republican on her cabinet.

People we would normally write-off as pulled too far right actually are juts looking for leader with a message that gives them hope.

Whatever gives you justification for moving even further to the right. Genocide support wasn't far enough rightward for you.
