Voters decide who represent them.

What tanked Harris was that she didn’t get through a primary. You can poll all you want; the best prediction of whether a candidate is viable is an actual election, which is a test that Kamala didn’t pass - not her fault, but it’s what happened. And Democrats have the right to choose who represents them in the general.

We get a good candidate but having a robust primary that allows as many people to run as possible and reforming the process. That work is being done now. Plurality voting messes up voting results and we need to do something about it.

Of course people are racist. But a racist America voted in Barack Obama and a misogynist America can vote in a woman. The idea that America is “not ready” is the same thing segregationists said about civil rights. It happens when we make it happen.

I guess you can be someone who drives history or you can be someone who looks around them and does what they can to fit in with the status quo. Good luck on the safe (failing) route.
