All Harris had to do was to even pretend to be progressive, but she had to jump on the ghoul train in order to impress 7 columnists. Why do they think that Negraponte and Cheney are good endorsements?
The dems were on a slight roll when they chose to do what the 'left' told them by replacing Biden and choosing Waltz for VP, but then decided to double down to pander to the right.
Her sister is married to an Uber executive. Her inner circle is a buch of people deeply involved with McKinsey, major banks, the Ford Foundation, etc. She is personally deeply embedded in the donor class, it's not even about appeasing them, it's the fact that she IS them
Are we talking about the same guy? The dude claimed to have been at Tinyman square for the "massacre" (later redacted) and intentionally married on the 5th anniversary for political brownie points. He's not completely deranged (ie. constantly spewing blood libel and marching to WW3) but it's a low bar.
Capturing the donor class is far more important than getting votes. That’s why Citizens United exists - to make sure that politicians will always prioritize the donor class.
This is the one chance the Democrats have to become the new Republican party thanks to Trump burning bridges with all its traditional bourgeois base. It would be stupid not for them to take the opportunity.
Why closed doors when the voters don’t even matter to them? It’s a rebranding phase - the Democrats have to make it explicit to their new donors. You know, make them feel welcomed.
There is also no need for a “secret conspiracy” here because when politicians make their public statements, they are just talking to the donor class. This has always been the case. No need to hide behind anything when the voters don’t matter to you.
I don’t understand why people still keep trying to twist reality into fitting what they want to see, when everyone here knows deep down, the Democrats and the Republicans have always blatantly make statements without taking the voters into account. If this hadn’t been the case, public pressure and protests would have worked. But we all know they haven’t.
You are not that important. Only the top 1% matters.

Considering how unhinged Wehrmacht Waltz is I don't think that was a roll... but then again the bar is in hell
As far as I can tell Walz's one good point is that he doesn't personally seem to have China derangement syndrome.

Yeah, that low bar is what I mean, most dems trip right over it.

They can capture the donor class behind closed doors. This move reeks of DC staffer conventional wisdom

Bribers. They bring war profiteering bribers.
It’s the donors, it’s always the donor money that does this to them.
Exactly. They’ve siphoned off a lot of GOP donors and see that as a continually valid strategy
It really is one of the most incredible unforced errors of all time.
