(1,866 posts)It's extremely difficult to satisfy all major factions of the Democratic coalition. For many years, there was a strategy of dragging the left along with a centrist candidate because they had no place else to go. But that is much harder to do now. Kamala seems to bridge the gap between more progressive Democrats and the establishment. Or at least she does it better than most.
She needs a clear and detailed agenda and a campaign strategy that is not just focused on undecided voters in swing states but is focused instead on a clear vision for the country that will pull deep blue and swing states along in equal measure.
2028 will be a change election and nothing would say change more strongly than having two women on the ticket who are both great leaders. Harris/AOC or Harris/Crockett could win in 2028.
