Just another example of how the Democratic party is only slightly less fucked than the Republicans.
Harris was the candidate, not Biden. Being his VP should have been a boon to her, but instead she turned it into her own biggest obstacle. It was ultimately her decision to follow Biden’s directions on this.
It’s not like the sitting president can order a party’s candidate to take certain policy positions, even if that candidate is the sitting VP. Biden deserves a ton of the blame for our current situation, but Harris was the candidate and she decided to follow Biden’s terrible advice. He’s just the stubborn geriatric who cared more about his legacy than the peoples’ future.
horseshit
she had multiple chances like at the DNC convention
"they puppeted me poorly"
Her position regarding Palestine and Israel cost her the election. Many Dems could not vote for her, so they didn't vote.
The woman who refused to against what a Man said would have made a STRONG Leader!
As usual the democratic party fails because it's trying to be both progressive AND cater to wealthy donors. Those two things just don't go together. Either abandon the upper class, or resign yourself to diametrically opposed rhetoric that will NEVER win an election for the Dems.
It's not remotely trying to be progressive. It's cosplaying as caring while raking in them donor dollars.
I don’t buy that. Harris has made her choice.
Could’ve, should’ve, would’ve
Huh? He couldn't have stopped her. This is nonsense.
Smells like bullshit to me
So if Biden had allowed Kamala Harris to have her own narrative, would she have won the presidency?
Yikes! This is a shit argument IMO. Biden wouldn't have broken from her if she stood strong on her own stances. This is a terrible look for her. More feckless establishment Dems acting like the controlled opposition they are.
I won't be voting for people like this in the future. I know many others that think like me too. That's going to be a huge problem for the Dem establishment. They're pushing progressive folks out and replacing them with no one.
When do I get to collect my payment for being right the entire time?
Your payment was the year of abuse from centrists you've already received, plus the next 4 years of blame for the loss they earned.
Same as anyone else who wasn't 100% on board with the genocide centrists preferred to keeping democracy.
The day they admit they've been wrong the entire time. I hope you get interest on that bet because it'll be a while.
I doubt this. Harris had some controversial policy issues such as taxing uncapitalized gains which were breaks with the Biden administration.
