Whoever told Kamala that it was a good idea to go on stage with Liz fucking Cheney and get her endorsement in the final days of the campaign bad to be the biggest idiot/secret Trump supporter in history.
The moment on the View where she said she couldn’t think of anything she’d do different from Biden (which made lots of undecideds say “four more years of inflation and border chaos!”), and then said she’d put a Republican on her cabinet (which made lots of progressives say “both sides are the same!”) really epitomized her problem.
Among other things, she should have just thrown Biden right under the bus and gone with a campaign message of “anything you didn’t like about the last four years was his fault and I’m gonna fix it (“how?” “It’s complicated, here’s a fifty page policy brief you’ll never read.” “I like how prepared you seem!”), anything you did like about the last four years was me pushing Biden to do good.” Like, I personally would have been more enthusiastic about my vote for her if she was more progressive, but I actually don’t know if she needed to be, she just needed to get on board with the premise that most people wanted something “better” (different) than Biden and then define “better” to be whatever she was proposing.

Said 10x better than I could have. She should’ve distanced herself from the Biden admin rather than defended it.
