All in all, Harris played the gamble too safe and was trying desperately not to alienate anyone.

She was perfectly willing to alienate the anti-genocide left.

But she ended up not sounding like she was going to improve anything.

She ended up sounding like what she was. A pro-genocide centrist.

I firmly believe she would have helped pass any progressive legislation that came across her desk, but to win she needed to be pushing the country more left on policy.

I firmly believe that she would have continued the biden betrayal of the left and the unconditional support for genocide, only with a republican on her cabinet.

People we would normally write-off as pulled too far right actually are juts looking for leader with a message that gives them hope.

Whatever gives you justification for moving even further to the right. Genocide support wasn't far enough rightward for you.
