Kamala had to be carried as VP, she had absolutely no business being the nomination.
Shit, the only reason she was made VP was because of the identity politics of having yet another ancient white guy in office.
Sorry I double responded, I meant to reply to another commenter and left it here by accident.
She ran to biden's right. biden never promised to put a republican on his cabinet. He never campaigned with cheneys.
She was perfectly willing to alienate the anti-genocide left.
She ended up sounding like what she was. A pro-genocide centrist.
I firmly believe that she would have continued the biden betrayal of the left and the unconditional support for genocide, only with a republican on her cabinet.
Whatever gives you justification for moving even further to the right. Genocide support wasn't far enough rightward for you.
