    Same reason they picked Harris: they're drinking their own kool-aid on identity politics. Just like how because Harris is a black woman they tried to sell her as a progressive feminist and not the bootlicking prosecutor she actually is, they assumed that because Walz was an old white guy he was only pretending to use progressive rhetoric and shat their pants when they realized he was genuine about it.

    They wouldn't have nominated him if they thought he was actually progressive.

    Defaulting to assuming the best about a garbage party?

    I don't give democrats the benefit of the doubt any longer. They have proven themselves completely untrustworthy over the course of decades.

    Betray the left enough times and the pattern of behavior makes it the most likely conclusion.
