    If she was competent she would have won the election. Just look at what she was running against. A clearly deteriorating Joe Biden was able to beat him in 2020 and buy the DNC some time to get their shit together. Why are some unable to see that the Democrats own a big chunk of where we are today?

      Are you aware that the Biden administration, as a condition of Joe stepping aside, insisted that Kamala not deviate from the administrations policy positions at all? She was hamstrung from the beginning.

      You may be unaware that when Joe stepped aside the only person who could legally replace him on the ticket was Kamala Harris.

        If true, this information makes her even less competent. Only a fool would agree to be hamstrung by the policies of the prior administration.

          It was the current administration. She wouldn’t have been able to run at all without that agreement and Trump would have won by default.

          It’s telling that you blame Kamala for the constraints put on her rather than Biden who put them there.

          Ideally, Biden should have resigned in 2024, making her president and giving her the incumbent advantage. That was a serious miscalculation.

          We have a serious problem with aging politicians hanging on to their positions for far too long. We were screwed by RBG, Biden, Feinstein and now Schumer. We need progressive candidates to primary every one of these ossified centrists and zionists.

            To be clear I don’t blame her for the constraints put on her. I blame her for accepting them. Why would anyone run with those constraints? She should have told them to go lose an election. It’s telling that she didn’t.
