When Harris was selected, the first thing that crossed my mind was "we're running a woman against him again?" I was definitely hopeful after the enthusiasm surge, but I'm wondering how much her being a woman and a minority hurt her chances.
she fucked it up too. her interviews were awful. she kept going right. she undermined protesters. kept talking about having Republicans in the cabinet and being endorsed by Republicans and shit. dropped the "weird" narrative, which was effective, in favor of trying to compete with the orange cunt on xenophobia. not a great bargain. did a lot to kill the enthusiasm from the left just to appeal to the five remaining non-q conservatives.
the main reason people wanted Biden to drop out was because he was going to depress turnout. then she did exactly that.
America is racist and sexist so this was going to be an uphill battle but she could've not pushed her actual enthusiastic base to the side.
If that's truly the case, we deserve to burn.
