"Kamala should've courted the left harder instead of trying to get centrist votes" bullshit. If people on the left could be relied on she would have. But the fact that she's losing the popular vote by a significant margin is proof that the left is completely fucking incapable of getting it together long enough to even keep a cartoon villain from trying to kill us all, and that appealing to the left in the first place was impossible because the only thing it can agree on is that nothing will ever be good enough. A good chunk of the left would rather self destruct than budge a single inch for the greater good.
Hell, when she chose Walz as her running mate instead of Buttigieg, Walz being considerably more progressive, the first thing some of you did was sow discontent with him instead of acknowledging the good he's done! She literally tried to appeal to the left with his appointment and you all spat in her face! Why the fuck would she waste her time with people like that?
Edit: I can't necessarily say that the idea Harris should court the left is wrong, I'm saying how the fuck is she supposed to know that's what people want when all she gets from the left is scorn and vitriol? Centrists have at least proved they're willing to be swayed
