Do you think there’s any ways in which Kamala will be worse than Biden was? I share a little bit of this cynicism that Harris isn’t going to end up being as cool as we want her to be, but for the life of me I can’t imagine a single issue where she’s any worse than Biden and she probably will be better on a few (like, she ran on marijuana legalization and Medicare for All in the 2020 primaries, stances Biden was never willing to take).

He’s still President and she’s not been elected yet. Your word choice is telling.

She’ll certainly be worse than Biden. The transition provides an opportunity for more adaptation of the exploitive system. And, the figurehead is far more appealing and competent.

You shouldn’t push for nuance. It’s nearly the same neoliberal platform. Democrats aren’t loyal to that public platform. And, we’ve little right now to predict the intended nature of exploitive adaptation.
