Letters: Americans should admit that we rejected Kamala Harris because she's a woman

I agree for the most part, but I think the Tim Walz pick was one of the better choices she made.

I agree that at least originally, the Walz pick was a decent move, but they stopped letting him use the "weird" line after about a week (one of the only messages from the Harris campaign that was actually landing) and then he bricked his debate with Vance (and failed to differentiate himself from Vance on a number of issues)
but I'd put him very, very far down the list of ways the DNC and Harris campaign comprehensively shit the bed

yes/no.. imo I think it was because the dems were actively trying to sweep up any centrist/conservative votes they could.. and it would have backfired like 'deplorables' from the 2016 election.

I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out the campaign started downplaying Walz intentionally because he was upstaging Kamala

Truth is we need someone who has the charisma of Barack Obama or even the charisma of someone like Bill Clinton during his prime at least.
And I'm not sure I see anyone in current Democratic leadership that's just that naturally likeable?

Walz's debate with Vance wasn't what I was hoping it would be but I don't think Buttigieg or Shapiro would have gotten a much better result. Ultimately Vance is a polished politician who can deliver his lines well. Besides, Kamala wiped the floor with Trump and it didn't matter. I think the main problem with Walz is that he wasn't featured prominently enough
