Summary
Kamala Harris’s political skills have transformed a potentially disastrous 2024 presidential election into a competitive race.
Despite initial skepticism and a challenging campaign, Harris has improved her public image and closed the gap with Trump on key issues. Since Biden stepped aside in July and endorsed her, she has shifted from an unpopular vice president to a viable candidate, even matching Trump in polls on economic issues.
Her leadership has given Democrats a chance to prevent a Trump landslide and halt the rise of American authoritarianism.
It’s truly embarrassing as hell to have a Democratic party that can’t absolutely crush a clown like Trump. The Democratic establishment isn’t just out of touch, it’s weak as fuck. Yes, this is on Kamala, but it’s also on Obama, and the Clintons, and Pelosi, and Schumer, and the whole “anyone but Bernie” coalition. This is the consequence of running to the center instead of tackling wealth inequality head on.
Second Thought - Why the Democrats never get anything done
Maybe this says more about the electorate than the Democratic party.
Any cortortion you have to in order to not ask the leadership any questions whatsoever, or question their motivations or strategy even a little bit. You’ll go far in corporate life.
