    100%. It wasn’t just the genocide though. They alienated the progressives. Kamala was scared to actually talk outside of mostly scripted messaging and interviews. They didn’t provide and explain strong progressive policies. To me, Kamala was pretty indistinguishable from Joe Biden and other corporate Democrats. Her picking Tim Walz was a great move and she was way up in the polls. Had she leaned into him more, broke from Joe Biden (even thrown him under the bus a bit), and turned to other progressives for advice rather than the DNC corporate consultants, she would have won.

      The Dems will always alienate their leftward sections, they serve monopolist capitalists just like the republicans do. It’s time for liberals to be radicalized and read theory, join orgs, and join leftists.

      If anyone wants a good intro list on Marxist theory, I can provide one.

      But Joe Biden beat Trump. Seems like she could have won by being more like Joe Biden.
