I'm struck by the criticism that progressivism is to blame for Harris' loss.. As someone who covered the Harris campaign day in and day out for months, she was not running as a progressive, not on immigration, not on climate, etc. She ran as a centrist, consensus driven Democrat, actively inviting Republicans into the coalition. It stuck out to me when she started adding "let's be intentional about building community" because that is the clear language of the left but to associate the campaign with some of this other stuff wasn't what I observed.
