Is there not a more middle ground or right wing male Latino candidate that could fire up a huge portion of the electorate? Even a boring middle ground white guy under 70? Surely?

Kamala Harris probably gets more of a bum rap than she deserves. Then again, she's a huge question mark on critical issues, such as foreign policy. No one can say for certain how she would fare in that arena, and most people would probably give the nod to a more experienced old fogey like Biden. Personally, I don't like how Kamala has handled issues such as immigration as a whole. Not that anyone else in government has handled it any better... but Kamala would probably get failing grades on this topic. As with Biden, Kamala has bent over backwards for the LGBTQXYZ Gestapo, which goes over and beyond just securing rights as human beings... they want to coerce mainstream society into things that infringe upon the rights of others. Then again... that's my criticism of the far-right Democrats as a whole.

You'd think the Dems would've conjured up a decent candidate over the last 8 years, as an antidote to the Orange Narcissist. But they've dropped the ball miserably. Thanks to them, four more years of Trump seems a certainty by now.
