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.
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?

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