All Harris had to do was to even pretend to be progressive, but she had to jump on the ghoul train in order to impress 7 columnists. Why do they think that Negraponte and Cheney are good endorsements?
The dems were on a slight roll when they chose to do what the ‘left’ told them by replacing Biden and choosing Waltz for VP, but then decided to double down to pander to the right.
Voters matter for the mandate, not for the policy. You’re conflating the two. Votes don’t change policy but the reason Dems are freaking out over 3rd parties and sending lawyers to purge from ballots and doing such a media blitz for Kamala against Trump is because they need the mandate from voters, especially in the swing states. There is always an aspect of doublespeak in public statements for both the donors and the voterbase, as well as backdoor and personal meetings to court donors. Saying they don’t need voters makes no sense; they only need a certain margin of voters but they still need them in order to be given the mandate for their wing of the political establishment to take power.
Her sister is married to an Uber executive. Her inner circle is a buch of people deeply involved with McKinsey, major banks, the Ford Foundation, etc. She is personally deeply embedded in the donor class, it’s not even about appeasing them, it’s the fact that she IS them
Are we talking about the same guy? The dude claimed to have been at Tinyman square for the “massacre” (later redacted) and intentionally married on the 5th anniversary for political brownie points. He’s not completely deranged (ie. constantly spewing blood libel and marching to WW3) but it’s a low bar.

They can capture the donor class behind closed doors. This move reeks of DC staffer conventional wisdom

Bribers. They bring war profiteering bribers.

It’s the donors, it’s always the donor money that does this to them.
Exactly. They’ve siphoned off a lot of GOP donors and see that as a continually valid strategy
Considering how unhinged Wehrmacht Waltz is I don’t think that was a roll… but then again the bar is in hell
As far as I can tell Walz’s one good point is that he doesn’t personally seem to have China derangement syndrome.

Yeah, that low bar is what I mean, most dems trip right over it.
