Plus Kamala was a switcheroo not long before voting time. It at best made the party look weak. At best.

That’s more coicindence than causation tho…
Like, what’s more important than that is they were both:
-
Historically unpopular within their own party
-
Backing policy significantly to the right of the Dem voting base.
-
So little charisma it was basically a negative
-
Bought and paid for by the wealthy
-
Openly antagonistic to anyone who didn’t only say positive things
-
Redfused to even open a dialog with the left, and a willingness to pre-emptively acquiesce to demands from the right.
Bonus:
Bill and Hillary ran as a “two for one” so she was seen as a continuation of Bill. And Kamala couldn’t stop saying she’d do everything the same way as Biden. They made themselves in “establishment candidates” when the only party that’s every worked for was Republicans. To make matters worse, trump was still running as anti-establishment and people were falling for it.
The only good time to be an “establishment candidate” does well is when the average American already has a good life…
That hasnt been true in a while, the majority of voters these days weren’t an adult the last time shit was ok. It’ll take a generation before the next “establishment candidate” has a shit, because it’ll take that long for people to trust the establishment again, even if we hit the ground running in 2028 and start fixing shit day 1.

I’ve heard some Democrats think that she is actually a too far left. I think it all boils down to her not making her position on various things very clear.

Currently charting “The Establishment”. I’ve broken it down into 5 branches: Finance, Military-Industrial-Intelligence, Narrative, Political, and Social. The CGI and the Clinton Foundation are masterclasses in influence peddling and prestige laundering, representing key nodes in “The Establishment” Finance, Political, and Social branches. The broad view I’m getting is that The Establishment is a rather small, but very rich and influential, criminal enterprise which has, since the late 1800’s, been consolidating money and power - basically robbed us all blind and built an army to protect the spoils.

Holy shit …
You think a small amount of the wealthiest people control everything because they’re greedy and want more wealth!!!
How oh how did you ever manage to discover that in your “charting”?
You must share your knowledge with the world, no one else has ever had such a unique and insightful thought as:
The rich run shit, and they’re criminal assholes

I’m using Obsidian to visualize what I’m linking together. What I’m seeing is a collection of actors and agencies with convergent interests, centralizing power over the last century or so, starting with a few key actors centralizing and devaluing currency and using media for social manipulation. Further, beyond greed and power accumulation and blackmail, I’m seeing a few driving ideologies emerge, including Christian Zionism, neoconservatism, and transhumanism.

So you’re saying it’s a coincidence that America still has only ever elected men to the presidency? That there’s no resistance in culture or the voting public? It’s just happenstance.
If there were two democratic contenders for leadership in 2028 a man and a woman… and Trump has wrangled a way to run again (and the populus/scotus is letting that happen) - you’d think they’ve got an equal chance?
…even though Trump’s track record is that he’s defeated two dem women (Hillary and Harris), and been beaten by one dem man (Biden)?

I would be happy if the nominee was AOC (it won’t be), but if they chose Nancy Pelosi I would be upset. One is actively fighting the establishment, and the other IS the establishment.
