It’s true what you say, at least as far as a regular yankee can say. They’re was palpable relief when joe stepped down. I never thought it would happen but I’m glad it did, cuz harris has the chops Biden doesn’t and i hope she wins.
But I’m not gonna forget the experience I’ve gained in my 30 odd years following politics as a hobby… “People-powered” implies we folks in the dirt are driving her campaign when of course it’s large corporate donors who are providing her the required money and will be deciding her platform.
I ain’t saying anything surprising or controversial. I’m not teaching anyone anything new here. I just capital H Hate pandering and ill call it out every time.
Guess that ruffled some feathers this morning. Ahhhh oh well
Fair, the wording of “people powered” probably isn’t really accurate, more like “people really seem to like her and there’s positive, growing support among the public”. As you said though, in the end it feels like politicians just end up following corporate money’s orders.
Kamala has a swell of positive public opinion that I hope she can ride to the presidency. I just hope she doesn’t squander all that good will later on.
