She’s a much better candidate than Biden, and Biden was a much better candidate than trump or Hillary Clinton. It’s been eight years, or closer to ten if you include the campaign season for the 2016 election. People are rightfully excited about Harris. You’re absolutely right that we can do better, but this is the most excited I’ve ever been for a candidate. I was pessimisticly excited for Obama, but was afraid he wouldn’t be able to win the general election.
But you’re ignoring that she’s not better than 2012 Obama, and definitely not better than 2008 Obama.
Like, everyone knows Hillary was a terrible candidate, we all know Biden was a bad one.
But Kamala being a decent candidate doesn’t mean we can’t be happy about that, or that we can’t acknowledge reality about her.
She’s not as progressive as the average Dem voter.
And until candidates start matching the Dem voter base, shit feels like trump always have a chance
If the DNC ran a candidate that matched their voter base, it’d be a landslide. Just a lot less money flowing thru the campaign and the DNC. The people running the party have different goals than the people voting for it
