It could easily just be incompetence. Kamala bombed out of the 2020 primaries before they even began despite being the media darling who was hyped up as the front-runner, then was handed the nomination this cycle through shennaniganry. She has pretty terrible political instincts, if we wanted to be extremely generous we could say she's "unproven." It would not be at all surprising if she bombs out, they shoulda had a primary so they could find someone who at least knows what they're doing.
Yeah to put it into perspective, she was coming in behind Andrew Yang in her home state of California where she was the sitting senator.
For a moment I felt I had underestimated her when she started garnering wider support after picking the least ghoulish ghoul to be her VP, but now it's clear she's increasingly cooked the more people get to know her whereas Trump is a known quantity.
Even in the first half of Biden's term, she didn't have much public interaction. There was that bizarre video of people asking her questions and she responded with "Your opinion, your voice," or some stupid focus group shit like that. Then she starts laughing and giggling. It was like she was high on prescription medications.
Wait do you want to tell me that there really isn't anyone less ghoulish in the upper ranks of entire dem party than "Greater Israel" Walz?
The bar is low and Walz gave free lunches to students. He also vetoed a bill that gave more rights to Uber drivers.
Nope, everyone to the left is ostracised.
What I've seen from the outside was that Josh Shapiro was the most likely pick...
