Kamala

There was a time, from about a month before until just after the first debate, when I thought Kamala was a contender. I sure don’t think she is one now.

Tulsi clobbered her at the second debate, it’s true. But that wouldn’t have stopped her if she wasn’t patently phony. Consider her record as Attorney General of California, which is what Tulsi attacked her about. Consider also that she has only been in Washington during the Trump administration, which means she’s only been on the national scene since Rachel Maddow became the Glenn Beck of the center-left. Kamala’s context is, by definition, skewed.

That weird gambit she threw out there at the fourth (and most recent at the time of this writing) debate, when she tried to get Elizabeth Warren to stand with her in her campaign to get Donald Trump kicked off of Twitter was so painful, and perfectly emblematic of what’s wrong with the Democrat’s establishment wing.

She’s just shut down her operations in New Hampshire. I wish I could say that’s surprising, but it isn’t.

In my opinion, Kamala is just a failed poster child of a failed dream: that of the centrist Democrat. What is it with the Democratic party? Why do they think being obviously in the service of the oligarchs works for them? They weren’t always like this. Our only hope as a country is if they stop being corrupt.

Let’s hope they figure that out sooner rather than later.
