Why are you hating on her? Cause you don't like her dad? That's fucked up. Stop sowing Division within the left with this "nobody is good enough for my side" bullshit
"Her dad" is a fucking war criminal who has been whitewashed into goofy, doofy grandpa with time, but who was the driver of a lot of SERIOUS damage inflicted on the US and the broader world. So a bit to start, sure, there's a layer of gratitude for the action in this desperate moment, but overall fuck her and "her dad" ( like he's just since dude, okay tool - cool story) Plain truth is I haven't seen her ever directly acknowledge the fact that her father is trash and that's how history should always remember him - short of that, she's lacking a good start to any kind of meaningful apology. Also their family money, as most family money does, has some very fucked up roots.
To restate a bit for context, announcing just a week or two out gives them potential plausible deniability after the fact, less prominence in crowded news cycles now and less repeated points of exposure as a potential surrogate at events or in press. Basically, after the fact if trump wins, they can say it was an isolated, momentary lapse instead of deep commit and then smooth further with typical, "Realize I just felt threatened/pressured by those woke marxists CRTs and f da libz, trump 4 liffffz!" (If you need an example, go see every January 6 traitor crying in court, saying they should not have followed trump's bullshit and their actions we're reprehensible prior to sentencing... then fast forward to when they are released and they are at a Halloween party the next week dressed as Paul Pelosi with a hammer in their skull, showing off their new "stop the steal" tattoo and doing Lee Greenwood karaoke while standing in front of a "make America swastika again" flag)
And all will fairly easily be forgiven on that side, as they always need warm bodies regardless of any morality or integrity. And on the otherside if Harris wins, they get to sleep at night saying "I helped" without really having done or risked anything in response to a prior life of being actively driving or at leeway complicity with the root cause of the problem.
Two things can be true at once, she can still owe a lifetime of penance for her/her family's atrocious past actions (active or passive participation) AND they can start operating on the side of good for the rest of their lives to hopefully, eventually do more good than harm.
So respectfully, fuck you and your revisionist history, "no time to convict Nixon, the nation needs to heal" apologist bullshit.
I'm sure your dad is a piece of shit too but I don't know why I would hold that personally against you, that's just insane.
