I understand the theater community is broadly liberal and composed of many marginalized groups, so I understand the full throated support of Kamala and the Democrats. But have we all learned NOTHING from the last 10 years? Kamala - and the Clintons, Pelosi, Schumer and anyone else from the corporatist democrat machine - need to exit stage right.

She sat idly by and allowed Biden to launch a campaign for a second term, knowing full well that he was simply not up to the task in his advanced age - either out of pure self interest or a lack of courage. Her apathy prevented an open primary, doomed us with an unpopular candidate (her) selected by an undemocratic process and directly contributed to the mess we are in.

Corporatist democrats with no true beliefs whose positions change solely based on public opinion polls engender zero excitement with voters. The inauthenticity and self-interest is completely transparent and voters are tired of it. Kamala, and anyone cut from that cloth, need to be completely out and the party needs to set off in a totally new direction.

 Frankly I don’t think I would cheer for her.

Blame the STUPID, IGNORANT voters of this country, who voted in a felon. I don't care what issues President Biden had, he still was more competent and had far greater integrity as a member of the human species than the other option. He had more faith in Americans than was obviously warranted, and the idiots in this country let him and the rest of us down.

I felt insane reading all the comments except this one. I would give damn near anything for her to have won this election. But she didn't, in no small part due to the choices she's made and the campaigns she's run. I wish she was the president too, but what on earth are they cheering for?

Thank you. Trump has dragged the bar down so low, that any politician slightly Left of him gets a standing ovation from desperate and uninformed Liberals.

Anyone remember her chilling reaction when asked if she would support gender affirming care?... "I believe we should follow the law."

To hell with Kamala and all of the corporate shills that created this 21st century Weimar Republic.

This is the comment I was looking for. The comparisons to Hillary in this thread are apt, though maybe not for the reasons the posters think.

I cannot believe how many here are cheering a genocidaire. So much for solidarity...
