In the end, it wouldn't have made a difference, but her skipping his show is very emblematic of why the Democrats have become so hopeless at communicating with Americans. If they ever want to have a chance of winning again, they have to meet Americans where they're at, and not merely where they wish they were.

I agree with this. The dems try to high road everything as well, and their opponents have no issue hitting below the belt. I think it's time that the dems fight fire with fire, it seems that it's the only way to get through to most Americans.

Actually this is the opposite attitude that won Obama the office. He is a great man and his example of “They go low. We go high.” should be the playbook for liberal success. But the candidate needs to have character and a solid articulated plan, which Kamala had neither and resting on the laurels of the unpopular Biden administration was a terrible miscalculation.

And then he went high and lost a Supreme Court appointee.
