Are you are blind to the fact that a black male and a black female were completely qualified last night and still got wiped out no matter how good they were and how bad their candidates were against them? Close don't mean shyt. Unless you're happy just winning Cali and shyt again against Trump.
The reality is in order to pick up any sort of percentage of Trump supporters OR FOLKS ON THE FENCE you have got to roll out somebody who cannot be parodied on late night TV at Fox News a boring white guy will do just that. Or have someone who won't make them raging pissed. A black male or female or white progressive will GET MURDERED.
This is not your normal president that you're running against.
To do this, you alienate oroegessives and young people who are activated by leaders who represent “them”/“change”. Dems are in a hard spot because they have to unite two factions of their own base along with neededing to appeal to swing voters.
Kamala isn’t really that progressive but she passes the sniff test for that base being from ca and a double (black and Asian) minority woman, for whites she can hark on being tough on crime, racially ambiguous (and good looking for her age) and having a white husband. I don’t think she’s warranted being the nominee from an experience standpoint, but she has the basics needed to appeal to both wings of the party.
