A lot of people don't actually give a fuck about policy they just pick somebody and go with it. The fact that she isn't an old white man probably attracted people who play politics in more of a cultural significance kind of way, though that obviously didn't help Kamala lol. I think there's also some sense to the idea that "progressive" messaging speaks to people. It worked for Obama. It even worked for Bernie up to a point, the only reason it fell short for Bernie and not Obama is that there weren't as many coordinated negative attacks from inside the party being leveled at Obama. Liz had at least a few boxes checked off for a certain type of voter, unfortunately that type of voter is more often than not a dumbass.
