Each time Democrats’ backs have been up against the wall, they’ve turned to populism — in words only, naturally — for salvation.

Nah, not each time. Kamala Harris was all about genociding Palestinians, "keeping the border safe" and "following the law" against trans people when her back was up against the wall last year and told the poor that the economy is doing fine, actually.

The whole point of her running was to get trump elected.

I really don't think so, they could have kept Biden and lost. He had no hope.

I feel like the DNC is so out of touch they thought Kamala could just run on DEI vibes and not-Cheeto® credentials and win, all the while proclaiming explicit Rightist stances and while supporting an unpopular genocide. They sometimes really are just oblivious elites.
