For Democratic voters, especially liberal women, this election comes down to abortion rights. For those who are also concerned about Gaza, they point out that Donald Trump might be even worse than Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, in terms of their support of Israel. For the people of Gaza, including women, it’s a distinction without a difference.

So the three Ted traits: 1. Machiavellian 2. Idealist over pert much any level of Pragmatism 3. Russophile
Ted leaves out a key factor. If Harris wins, she is possibly going to have the other party in control of at least one of the chambers of Congress. The Republicans need only win a two-seat gain to control the Senate. The House? Right now, it looks like a coin toss. Harris’ only hope in hell is to win the House and the Senate. Even then, she’ll need enough margin to avoid the Joe Manchin effect. She simply doesn’t have the soft talent to play the senators against themselves like LBJ did. So even with a majority Senate, she’s going to end up being pecked to death by her own party members.
