But, to sum up, its time to take your hands off the keyboard for a while.
1. The actions of Kamala Harris do not deserve the criticism of your post.
2. We all know what a primary season is. There has not been a contested Democratic convention since 1952.

2a. Therefore, the primary seasons are largely over NEARLY ALL THE TIME. Some votes count more than others in primary season as well as in the main presidential election.
2b. Therefore, do not act surprised when your presumed candidate of preference is not the presumed nominee. HALF or MORE OF US did not have Biden has our first choice.
3. Society is changing because of Trump and corona and the combination thereof, the voters are changing and finally, so are the politicians. So, we all keep lobbying for this and that.
3a. Don't imply that your lobbying for your position is being stifled. I presume the ACA vs improvements is your leading issue.
4. One more thing. Blackface. Not recommended as satire. Satire has a way of going wrong. Blackface in recent years has always gone wrong once the image goes widely known. (Stephen Colbert gave up the satire of The Colbert Report. His current show is The Late Show, formerly hosted by David Letterman.). Irony can work far more often than satire. Your adrenalin was your own enemy.
With your experience, you should have known better in each point.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
