But then things changed. In an odd twist ostensibly fueled by a moderate’s determination to unite progressives, [Biden] who ran most notably as a beacon of the center chose to govern as a paragon of the left.
With Biden’s withdrawal, Democrats now have an opportunity to redefine themselves. But Kamala Harris will succeed only if she learns the lesson that spurred Keir Starmer to steer Labour toward reasonableness.
This is something she’s proven she can do. When emerging to become California’s attorney general, and then senator, Harris appealed not only to her neighbors in San Francisco, but to Californians living in more conservative places like the Central Valley and the Inland Empire. To the degree that Starmer is prime minister today because he managed to connect to voters in all the places where Labour had been washed out in the previous campaign, this year’s Democratic nominee will need to do much the same thing. The most effective antidote to MAGA-style populism is a platform that appeals to voters we have lost. Vice President Harris has a chance to prosecute that argument.
What a difference a week makes. The enthusiasm of the Harris for President moment has ignited energy Democrats have not had since Obama in 2008. The coalition of working-class, left wing, moderates, pragmatic voters have been desperate for hope and they are giving Vice President Harris the opportunity to win them over. I think she will.

Pictured, the example Sir Kid Starver/Queer Harmer’s is setting
Calling people left wing in the US (where this doesn’t exist basically) is comical, but, they’re right people were riding on hope.
Which Kamala killed yesterday pretty much for good with her dogshit support of genocide statement on support for Israel.
The media is really trying to run with “but she didn’t sound as mean as Joe!” I’m gonna place more importance on her specifically repeating the mass rapes thoroughly debunked and destroyed lie, myself. She didn’t have to tell that lie. She really didn’t have to tell any lies. Yet she did.
So much for that hope
Also, I can’t find why Starmer is a “sir.” Wikipedia says he did some legal work (the OI BRUV DA FACK language around law/lawyers is indecipherable) in the illegally occupied northern portion of Ireland. Sounds like he got one of those participation trophies I always hear boomers talking about except it’s a stupid title in front of his name.
That describes every title granted by royals.
Excuse me, waiter! This tapioca isn’t bland enough!

Ah yes the old “what the hinterland rubes really want is Bloomberg”
Lol, for her to win she needs to barely win with the most unenthusiastic turnout ever, like I did!
Starmer’s example: adopt the Conservative platform wholesale, purge everyone to the left of Pinochet from your own party, then when it’s your turn to be Prime Minister no-one in establishment media will bother to oppose you
She’s going to kill an alpaca?
