Doyle McManus: The Case for Kamala

 Wow.
   I went into this with as open a mind as I could muster...but it's awful.
   I don't mean that it's bad work...I mean it's tantamount to an anti-Harris case: if this is the best you can think of to say about her, you'd have to be a fool to vote for her.
   It's basically a combination of lies about Trump (now de rigueur for Dems) (e.g.: Trump loves Putin) and groundless assurances that she's going to completely change her political stripes...and stop doing the few things she's managed to actually do. She's now all about the border! Inflation bad! Um...
   The only thing McManus mentions that plausible is abortion. She seems honestly pro-choice. And that's something I can generally agree with.
   Though obviously that's not enough.

   Look, here's the only significant argument for Harris: She's not Trump.
   And a weighty argument it is.
   If I even vaguely agreed with the platform and worldview of the new new Democrats, then, awful as she is, she'd be good enough for me.
   But that's a radically counterfactual state of affairs.
