22. Absolutely none of that is true

She wasn't an interesting candidate? Did you ever watch a speech of hers? Watch her at the debates? See her in interviews? She was the most interesting candidate out there.

She had some excellent messages, great ideas and good plans. So good, in fact, that several other candidates borrowed from her ideas to make their own policies.

Waffled around the big issues? Sure, no other candidate has made changes in their stances on issues, ever, right? Harris changed her M4A plan after talking to voters - horrors! How dare she listen to them? Guess who else just changed their M4A plan? Elizabeth Warren. So does that mean she, too, waffles around big issues.

And please, just stop with the RW trope "identity politics." That ridiculous phrase is only ever brought up against candidates who aren't white men.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
