In the 2020 elections You could argue that kamala was the weakest candidate out of the whole crop Not even in a leftist way like there were better liberals and centrists I think she did worse than bernie Amy Warren and even shit faced butegig While Biden provided a legacy candidate the top brass liked Bernie and Warren were exciting for the youth Amy was the centrist candidate Even Pete had more popularity

Kamala provided nothing The only reason she was picked for vp was that she was that she provided so many identity cards (black/Asian/female) it filled in the gap of electing an old white man as president

But now in a clear case of astro turfing meme culture is trying to rehabilitate her Even tho she is still the nobody who climbed the ladder who go their by mass incarceration of black people

The token vice president who stood by like a good dog while Biden failed to codeify roe v wad or deliver on campaign promises

In alot of ways she is the face of the Democrat party, a craven sycophant who betrayed her people to climb politics.

    I know Joe Manchin is now an independent, but he's been suggesting reregistering as a Democrat now that Biden has dropped out. And I don't know about "centre-right," but many of the "former Democrats turned cautious Trump supporters" in my life were hoping Biden would drop out in favor of Josh Shapiro. I mean they just need someone who will appeal to the swing states and the moderate/right-wing wing of the party that they were losing to Trump due to Biden's decline and incompetence. I mean when New York is in danger of becoming a battleground state, you know you're in trouble. Even the Klobberer would be an okay choice imo. Kamala is a California liberal (from the Bay area no less) who was chosen in 2020 to appeal to progressives. She can probably ensure the solidly blue states stay blue, which Biden was in danger of losing, but I think they'd do better to appeal to the center this time around.
