I have never been a Kamala fan and I have never liked that we didn’t have a real primary process to identify a better candidate. But she has surprised me. She’s run an outstanding campaign at nearly every turn. And a huge part of it is the big-tent approach that has eschewed identity politics (or whatever you want to call it) and focused on the common interests of all voters. Obviously I hope she wins, and if she does, I hope this is a model for how the Dems move forward in national contests. Because we need a big tent more than ever.
I didn’t know much about Kamala. She has been impressive in ignoring Trump’s lies, insults, and provocations.
Like you, I am pleased that she did not resort to identity politics. She is who she is, but she constantly focuses on what’s best for all of us. She doesn’t play the race card or the woman card. Best of all, she talks about how much we love our country. She has turned patriotism into a Democratic party value. A nice contrast to Trump, who insists that our country is in decline and in chaos, ravaged by invading hordes of immigrants.
