The lawyer friend is really charged up about Kamala, and thinks she can excite all the communities he's involved with, loves see her speak, is fully on board. He'd say, yes, if you give her a mic, and let her have the stage a little, you'll see she has the ability to reach all those folks. The entrepreneur likes her quite a lot but is worried about whether she can win; he said, if she is the Democrats candidates Indian-Americans and immigrants everywhere will be really excited, but he's not going to believe it until it happens.
Me, I see no harm in letting it play out for the next few months. I'd have to say I really don't know yet and any analysis is really a bit premature now.

Did you ask these people if they thought anyone they know in those communities would stay home this election if they didn't get their way? Because that's all I'm saying. The difference between the number of voters in the demographics you mentioned (i) who are excited about (or who can be excited by) Kamala and (ii) those who will absolutely vote to stop our country from going over a cliff and destroying every single vulnerable community is
negligible. That's the point.
And I disagree with the "no harm in letting this play out." Those days are over. The more everyone tries to destroy the Democratic front runner (and Bernie has already proven that he is absolutely
not a team player--even after he knows he has no chance) during the primary, the weaker the fucking candidate we put up. We should have no more than 3 or 4 candidates at this point. The Party looks like a fucking clown car.
