I think muzzling Walz is “a bug not a feature” — they always muzzle anyone leftish. Anyway, it is horrific but it is on her. She was the candidate. Blaming the voters is never a good move. Millions who voted for Biden and Obama didn’t vote for her.

I’m Still Hoping to Vote for Kamala Harris

Well, true, and they didn’t allow us to vote in a primary. But as I have said, genocide is a red line for me and her telling people like me to shut up and get in line didn’t help. Here’s what I wrote at the time. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

I refuse to vote for politicians who fund and arm genocide. Full stop.

Correct. I loathe Kamala Harris, who made a genocide possible. And correct: I do indeed blame her for losing to Trump —including because she alienated people like me who would have voted for her if she hadn’t kept telling us to shut up.
