    From what I’ve heard, top Democrats hamstrung Harris’ already patched together campaign. She was up against the clock and they threw a wrench in it because they didn’t want to offend the “fuck your feelings” crowd.

      That was around the time the campaign’s approval peaked too, if I remember right. People liked when Walz called Republicans out and actually stated the obvious, but the DNC leadership decided after 2000 that they don’t give a shit about what Democratic voters want; the DNC was already handing the country to Trump again long before Biden even dropped out.

      There were really loud persuasive voices calling for the Dems to try to siphon off dissatisfied GOP voters. Apparently they convinced their overpaid advisors because sure as shit Kamala was campaigning with a fucking Cheney (who at least has a soul but still a piece of crap politically).

      Year after year they watch the success of Bernie and other leftist candidates and decide they’re going to tack right JUST ONE MORE TIME. Definitely goes to show how well the right has demonized the left.
