Could she be the First Black woman to be president? Kamala, or rather her platform, was hardly inventive. When engaged on its fundamentals, it was largely conservative. Not conservative like Charlie Kirk... conservative meaning, it preserved many pieces of America as is-just as a conservationist preserves the trees of a forest. It was a platform that largely fit hand-in-glove with Bidenomics: protect corporate global interests, overfund all military and law enforcement, and yes-promote electric cars, along with a dash of maternal health reform, abortion protections, and a short-lived national rent cap promise.
