This makes her “strategy” even more baffling than before. How do you know you are down the entire time and do absolutely nothing about policy?

She could’ve swung for the fences on progressive policies, if she knew she was doomed right? Not like anyone would ever be honest about it, but they ran their perfect centrist anti Trumper campaign and lost which has gotta take the shine off that a little. She could’ve ran on a Bernie style platform, lost and then they could claim “well see it never works let’s never do that again”
I feel like her political background just isn’t a “swing for the fences” one, though. The only thing that would’ve made her lose worse than she did would’ve been if she was faking it. People might not be smart about policy and whatnot, but Americans can spot a fake 100 miles away.
Trump was never anything but his most authentic self from the moment he rode down that escalator until today.
Harris trying to go fulll Bernie/ Squad would’ve failed spectacularly. Because that not what she believes in.
I feel like Trump has said a lot of things that he didn’t hold himself to, which is kinda fake behaviour. I think I understand what you mean though, even though I struggle to articulate it
they dare not suggest that a better world is possible. they just got done shutting that shit down in 2020
They can’t risk anyone getting the idea that they support progressive causes.
but is she a progressive? like even a little bit, in private?
If she was, she would never have been allowed to be one presidential heart attack away from the presidency herself.
No she’s not, this would be some weird double bluff play of pretending to be progressive while knowing she’s losing in order to lower the already low cachet of progressive electoral politics
