I don’t understand where “the discourse” is at right now (since Biden dropped out). I’ve seen a lot of surprising rehabilitation of Kamala’s record. Calling out racism and misogyny from fash republicans is certainly necessary, but at the same time, there seems to be a vibe-shift in thinking that Kamala is not the same neoliberal sellout and Israel apologist as the rest of the party elite. I guess it’s the same “push them left” copium from four years ago. Amazing how that never seems to run out for liberals.
