Oooph, that tracts with a lot of tech companies you hear about. It does fit a pattern of spending so much time courting a base that has proven to be very misogynistic.
The more I think of it, I wonder if anyone could have won that election given only 3 months. If Obama had been VP, and suddenly made the candidate, could he have done it? Could Hillary have won it? John Kerry? Maybe, but it would have been a miracle.
Kamala did a solid job. Note how people are debating how she could have fine-tuned her messaging or policy proposals; they’re not talking about gaffes or complete incompetence. She lost with a deficit of 30K in WI, 80K in MI, and 150K in PA. A definite loss, but not comparable to the landslide losses of 1988 or 1984. Biden was headed for that sort of landslide loss, but Kamala turned it into a much closer contest.
Yeah, with those margins fine tuning Biden or Harris’s policy proposals would not have been enough. Which I think is Bernie’s point: we need something like Medicare for all or a detailed Gaza peace plan to excite the base and the non-xenophobic voters
