So I may be asking for enemies here, but I promise I come in peace. It seems to me that the establishment is somewhat decided on the candidates they want, and the identity politics they must weaponize to secure the primary, and I wonder if anyone else is noticing.
Who actually won?
The first night you could say it was Warren, but without a doubt the second night belonged to Harris. Now, nobody seems to be batting an eye here, in the sense that women are leading so to speak, but policies aside, which some I completely disagree with, it is an easier sell these days, isn't it?
We may have talked about women in politics being at a disadvantage, and that has been certainly the case for generations, but it seems that after the failed campaign of Hillary, one major shift did actually take place. Being a woman running for president is now normal, and more so, probably better.
Why better?
Because in order for the democrats to sell us the idea that Trump is a bad man, who hates women, who better to be the hero of the story but a woman. It's easy to understand the psychological catapult they are using on the base, and to be honest, It's somewhat genius.
Not endorsing
I should end this short post of mine making it absolutely clear that I'm not endorsing Kamala or Warren at this point. Among the democrats, at least at this very second, I rather prefer Tulsi and Yang, but I'm undecided, and since I'm technically a registered Republican, it would not matter much in the primaries anyways.
On another note... The debates, both nights that is, were terribly done. MSNBC needs to step up their game, they really dropped the ball in format, execution and even the questions were either softball platitude evoking smoke, or framed completely off.
