Mitch McConnell is terrified Kamala Harris will enact policies that end up kneecapping the Republican Party.

    If that’s the case then why are all my city friends the most genuinely excited they have been about a democratic politician since two weeks after Obama’s inauguration in 2009?

    Because we don’t discriminate against people on the basis of where they’re from, and do our best to judge people on their merits, and Walz is quite meritorious?

      Well, of course. I think it’s a bit odd they’re characterizing it that way. Rural/Urban is not a delineation I would have thought of in terms of support for his politics.
      I often feel what’s unsaid is also as important as what’s said - in this case I take it to be an implication that urban folks aren’t as interested in his brand of progressivism. My comment about city friends was to contradict McConnell’s statement, rather than to reinforce any notion of division based on geography.
