Harris should have run somewhat against Biden, but she couldn’t. She should have run harder on sidelining or prosecuting certain people and types, but she didn’t. In particular she had a weak economic message. Young men were against her out of the gate, in part because of being a Black woman, but -

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.
