THE COMEBACK CAMPAIGN

Harris’s campaign became a comeback vehicle for every has-been neoliberal Democratic consultant and flack.  They exploited–with her complete complicity, of course–the campaign in a vain attempt to make themselves relevant again. I’m reading news reports from last summer announcing that Kamala was sidelining Biden’s team and instead embracing the over-the-hill comeback brigade. That really was the moment when her campaign’s–and perhaps America’s–doom was sealed. Plouffe, Schumer, et.al. couldn’t even get Democrats to vote for Harris–how many fewer votes did she get than Biden, again? As her campaign progressed, Dems saw her pallin’ around with oligarchs, weakening her economic message, failing to support Lina Kahn, sidelining Walz, never mentioning the climate crisis, and they said, No, not again.
