And when Kamala had the entire DNC establishment behind her, what was stopping her from distancing herself from Biden? What was she afraid of?
Even if Biden came out to publically criticize Kamala, that would have mixed results at best. A large chunk of Kamala’s base was still thinking about how Biden’s brain malfunctioned at the debate, another chunk was calling him Genocide Joe.
She chose to stick with Biden’s legacy instead of developing her own policy platform for the American people, and it directly gave us President Trump.
Honestly, I think it’s partially that she’s never really believed in anything. She was a tough on crime DA until the George Floyd protests, and then she dropped that. She was a Medicare for All supporter until it looked like that would cost her with the donors, so she dropped that. She opposed Trump’s harsh immigration policy but was fine with Biden’s harsh immigration policy. She’s got no strong, principled stances, so when Biden tells her not to break with him, and her advisors tell her to campaign with Liz Cheney and Mark Cuban, she just does it.

My guess? The entire DNC establishment wasn’t behind Harris. They were behind Biden, and supported Harris as Biden’s successor rather than on her own (nonexistent) merits. She hadn’t earned their support, and knew it.
