    I think you have to be a much stronger candidate than Harris was to be either of those things, let alone both. Obama was a very strong personality and he only had one strike against him. And he wasn’t running against a social media shitstorm because that whole strategy was still very nascent.

    We already saw what happened to Bernie in the 2016 DNC nomination race; he wasn’t going to get that close again, they had to pull out all the bullshit DNC fuckery to get Hillary in there.
