I agree completely. I think the strong move for Harris will be to focus her campaign around abortion rights and promise to fight for federal laws guaranteeing the right to an abortion, even to the point of openly defying the Supreme Court if they reject the law. She also needs to focus on court reform, push for a strict code of conduct to be enforced against the supreme court, and either impeach/replace Alito and Thomas or (if there aren't enough votes for that) eliminate the fillibuster to pack the courts with only a simple Senate majority.
I am hesitant about is right now the best time for a black woman president, are the people ready for it, but the way you framed it put it well. A strong eloquent black woman who is ready to put women's rights at the forefront where her opponent is actively trying to take away those rights may work extremely well.
Now is the time for anyone that's not going to directly try and undermine our Representative Democracy and work to replace it with an Authoritarian Dictatorship. Trump has literally said he wants to be a dictator on day one, and we know the Republican Project 2025 plan. I don't give a shit if that means we're voting for a random dude in an Easter Bunny outfit, I'll suck it up and vote for a furry if it means we don't go down that path.
Maybe now's the best time to mix things up. This could be the last election before the fall of the democracy, why not go all out? I'm actually really excited for this move, and despite a little uncertainty at first I'm fully onboard.
That's how I feel! They're throwing the hail Mary right now, but damn if I haven't seen Democrats this excited since Obama
