God damn imagining being handed the fukken election and blowing it all in just over a hundred days. From the moment of Kamala's blood and soil-ass DNC speech to now her campaign staff has seemingly been doing everything it possibly could to lose.
This isn't like with Hillary where she came into the race with decades of baggage. Kamala was almost a blank slate, and had every opportunity to define who she was and what politics she represented over the past three months. She fucking chose to tack right, validate everything the Republicans have been saying about a dozen issues, abandon large chunks of the Democratic voting bloc, kill Democrat messaging that was actually working (calling R's "weird," talking about abortion rights), bring ghouls like the Cheneys on stage and utterly refuse to say the one goddamn thing that ninety percent of the under-thirty voters wanted her to say.
when the fuck did Kamala have a 20 point advantage
okay I overstated it quite a bit but my point is that it was her election to lose after Joe dropped out
