In 2005, one year into her job as San Francisco district attorney, Kamala Harris was showing a new hire around the office.
Ms. Harris had recruited Lateefah Simon, a 28-year-old racial justice activist, to lead a new program aimed at keeping first-time drug offenders out of jail. As the two women walked the halls, they stopped in front of a wall lined with photographs of Ms. Harris’s predecessors — all of them white men.
“The expectation of our community is that I’m going to fix all the havoc,” Ms. Harris said, according to Ms. Simon’s recollection. “They’re going to want me to fix all the racism, all the dysfunction, in the next four years.”
But in reality, Ms. Harris said, change will happen “bit by bit.”
The comment underscored the political philosophy that has guided Ms. Harris’s style of governance for decades. It is among the more striking contradictions of Ms. Harris’s candidacy: While she would bring about historic change if elected, as the first woman, the first Asian American and the second Black person to hold the office, she is not offering sweeping change in policy. She is at heart an institutionalist, defined by a deliberate style, focused on granular impacts over broad society shifts.
It’s an approach that diverges from those of previous leaders who have captured the imaginations of the Democratic Party. President Barack Obama presented Americans with a hopeful vision that promised to heal some of the nation’s deepest racial, geographic and partisan divides. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont electrified Democrats with his populist calls for structural change and major economic reform. And President Biden promised to “restore the soul” of a nation fractured by the chaos of his predecessor’s administration.

I think the Slimes missed a few "intersectionalities." They are going to be so offended.
one intersectonality that was missed...spit or swallow? guess Willie’s Willie wasn’t available for comment.
She did 8 or so cases as a prosecutor. Basically, it was a no-show job.
She went after black men for weed possession - now wants to use that to buy their votes.
She got, what? 2% of the Democrat vote when she ran the first time?
I just hope they keep showing her and getting her out into the media. More you see of her = more annoying she gets.
She walks us through the Kamala Harris saga - they both spent their formative years in San Fran.
Just a lazy entitled ho. No intellectual depth has yet been detected.
It took 3 people to write this dribble??? Sad, but true.
Oddly enough, they do use the term ‘if’... Which means they are likely figuring it out... ‘if’ essentially means that it’s never going to happen, so they appear to be rationalizing the inevitable. Hopefully the NY Slimes and other lefty media outlets start gently suggesting to their rabid TDS readers, that Trump will be their next President. It’ll be easier on them come election night.
My sole involvement with the NY Times is because of Wordle.
Whenever I go into the app to play Wordle, I have to go past their current news stories.
If there ever was a newspaper that had a terminal case of TDS, it’d be the NY Times. I get it that this is an election year and we’re getting close to Election day - but I’ve seen this newspaper become more strident in their anti-Trump coverage.
It’s almost a bit scary.
The byline is its own joke. Two shrill Jewesses and a gay Negro walk into a bar...
EPU you will never change. You are the FR apologist for the NYTimes.
BS, her whole life has been “the Art of Acting”. She does nothing, just plays the part and relies on melanin to do the rest.
I watched it. She reminded me of Tulsi Gabbard. You may not agree with them, but they are both serious people who do not suffer fools gladly.
When I saw the NYT headline: “What drives Kamala Harris?”, my first thought that it sounded like a Willie Brown joke.
“She did 8 or so cases as a prosecutor. Basically, it was a no-show job.”
Speaking of a “no-show job”. There is a Democrat, woman, in charge of voter registrations in Harris County (Houston) Texas. According to an article in the Wall Street Journal she has not swiped her access into her office since 2020, while continuing to be paid.
And President Biden promised to “restore the soul” of a nation fractured by the chaos of his predecessor’s administration.
BOOM and flames ensued.
The real question is how much money EPU is making from The NY Times for posting their drivel. If I want to read the times I would go to their website but i don’t

The Art of the Absurdis more like it.
Harris doesn’t connect well with people and lacks political instincts. How do you not know how you have different policies from Joe Biden and what they are? Claiming you are different from Biden and a change agent and not being able to articulate it is absurd. Not being able to articulate what cause your flip flops in a cogent fashion is a mal-practice of politics. Why wasn’t Harris prepared for the obvious? Harris’s every changing accents and speech patterns are an attempt to connect but is viewed as pandering.
