Kamala Harris wouldn’t distance herself from the Biden’s support of Israel’s war on Gaza. Rashida Tlaib railed against it — and won the Michigan city.

    I know it's a bit 2020 hindsight* thing to be saying it after the fact, but it's still wild to me they picked Kamala at all, considering how close she is tied to the unpopular Biden admin, on top of her never having been a popular presidential candidate in the first place.

    *Realized after writing it that it's 20/20 hindsight, but 2020 hindsight sounds funnier because it sounds like it's referencing things we've already seen from past elections.

      Neoliberal politics. Only surprising thing is they thought it would work. DNC will do anything to avoid reality.

    OBVIOUSLY it's because she's an Incumbent and NOTHING to do with Listening to What the Voters Want!
