    Harris ran a perfect campaign. If she was running as a (pre-Trump) republican. However, we know that:

    1. She isn’t a Republican
    2. She banked on pulling in republican voters, instead of rallying her base
    3. Republicans will almost always vote for the R instead of policy
    4. She backed off of every single progressive idea she started with
    5. She trotted out establishment Democrats to lecture the electorate instead of inspire them
    6. Tlaib pulled twice the numbers as Harris as the only anti-genocide Palestinian in Congress

    It’s Harris and the Democrats. Should people have voted? Yes. Is it understandable why people didn’t want to vote for the person telling them that she’ll be a good republican and support a genocide? Also yes.

      You’re only providing half of the argument. The other half of the argument is the fact that if you didn’t support her, then you supported a fascist dictatorship.

      And what happened? We got a fascist dictatorship!
