At some point in the future, people will look back and see Kamala as an important component of a major turning point.
She was never, in any way, a serious political figure.
But when Joe Biden was forced out, I think he (or Jill) viciously named the very worst person he could think of as the next Democrat nominee. And the party got saddled with a joke candidate.
More — people like Obama (whom I despise) who still remained a political figure respected by some, had to step up and say “She’s great. She’s a good choice. She’s a leader.” Okay, there goes any respect for Obama. He’s done. He’s a hack.
And the whole Democrat party and platform descended into chaos. They had nothing. Just “She’s not Trump” and “Trump is bad”. That’s the sort of statesmanship they could offer. And now, looking forward to 2028, the choices are Newsom, Swalwell, or Harris. And Harris is looking better than the other two.
There is no recovery from this.
As I recall, the Bidens had nothing to do with the selection of Harris as the nominee. They were out of the decision making loop.
I think Pelosi had something to do with picking Harris. And maybe a few other bigwigs. But not Biden.
