(404 posts)The problem with optics is that we tend to view them from a progressive viewpoint. That is fine in most cases, and in fact optics will pragmatically be determined by progressive viewpoint, as progressives will dominate the citizenry of the planet, but for now we have deplorables and Nazis to factor in the equation.
Having said that, I'll just speak of Kamala's obvious differences. One: She's young, but experienced in the right fields, I daresay more than Barack Obama was at his time of his election to the US Senate, so comparing her experience to that of Clinton's WH, senate, and state experience is not relevant in this manner. Two: She's not white. Please note it's not racist to say that, as to be blunt, only whites can be institutionally racist. Three: She's more progressive than most. While California attorney general, she was able to transform the office from prosecutorial to judicial, ensuring greater rights for the accused.
My point is that Kamala will ENERGIZE individuals, particularly young millennials and Gen Z types, and coupled with the Nazi regime-like Republican party, makes Kamala the most likely successor to President Obama's legacy, and with a solid Democratic House and Senate, will finish the transformation of the United States from oppressive Nazi-like superpower to a true progressive, anti-capitalist globalist partner.
THAT is the big difference between Kamala and the previous Democratic nominee. The fact that Drumpf was even a factor had more to do with ignorance on the right coupled with unfortunate apathy on the left. Progressives will make damn sure that apathy is completely annihilated, like the ideas of the US Nazi/GOP party.
