    Kamala Harris’s campaign should strike a more populist note

    I agree, if we could get Kamala to agree then I’d feel a lot more confident about her beating trump.

    I don’t understand why people want to blame everyone except Kamala and her campaign for her campaigns failings tho.

    The media is always mad at Dem voters for not being excited for Dem candidates, probably because the wealthy owners of the media are the same ones donating so the left most option isn’t really all that “left”.

      There are a lot of things outside of Harris’s control though - having two important voting blocs (the Jewish vote and the Islamic vote) that are on opposite sides of a big and important single issue, the need to draw in moderate Republicans, etc.

      I agree, if we could get Kamala to agree then I’d feel a lot more confident about her beating trump.

      Based on her 2019 platform I’d suspect that this is secretly the case. I’m expecting a massive turnaround - but this is conditional on Dems also gaining a majority in the House and retaining the majority in the Senate.

      Actually it’s a failing of FPTP, with a system like that folks need to aim for the centre.
