    It’s too bad she didn’t offer any soundbites of truth. Her entire campaign was built around being inoffensive to everyone which meant saying nothing that might evoke meaning. Lies thrive in that environment.

        I’m easily the most politically engaged person I know. If I wasn’t listening (though I was) then that’s a really bad sign. We need candidates that drive engagement.

        Kamala had a lot going in terms of technocratic improvements that actually would provide some value for voters, but there was nothing transformative, and there was no interesting narrative.

        The most interesting thing she did was campaign with Liz Cheney, so that’s what got the attention. She wanted to convince right leaning voters that she understood them, but instead communicated that she is just another neoliberal warmonger. It doesn’t matter that she might have threaded the needle perfectly in her rhetoric because she stepped into a narrative that said otherwise.

          You taking heat for your previous statement is so typical of those giving any criticism of the DNC. You basically went outside and said it’s kinda chilly and someone came up and said, upset, “no! It’s cold.”

          Dude the Liz Cheney shit was in like October. Did you listen to anything her campaign said before that?

          You did know Biden dropped out, right…? I know a lot of you fucking idiots didn’t so just wanted to be sure.
