Kamala Harris is hated among the left, I wouldn't be shocked if quite a few progressive types break rank over her but the TDS is still pretty damn strong.
I'm still looking forward to the DNC fallout. The media and establishment appears to be all in on Heels Up now but hopefully the Obama faction or somebody throws a wildcard in. Even a surprise VP pick.
Actually, Harris's appeal is super weird. Lot's of Progressives despise her. However, there's a sub-sect of Progressives that are Harris zealots. Something something black woman. And, it may unify some of the jew-hating faction of Leftists that are currently screaming about "Genocide Joe".
That's what philosemites so often miss, antisemitism is a great gateway drug to reel in disillusioned leftoids. And once you get someone to join in on a bit of cheeky antisemitism, the n-word loses its bite.
Nothing personal against any given individual with Jewish ancestry, but for whatever reason antisemitism is a lot of fun and really gets people to work together.
None of it is philosemitism or antisemitism, jews aren't a race, and they are certainly not the entirety of semites. No one saying hatred for Bashar Al-Assad is anti-semitism.
Jew-Hatred is really the core here. It isn't used to 'reel in disillusioned leftoids'. Fundamentally, jew-hatred is a core component of Leftism itself, and the harder you assert Leftism, the more inevitable your hatred of jews becomes because Capitalism is literally nothing more than a dog-whistle against what Marx asserted was the inherent nature of jews. It's why he believed that it was impossible for jews to exist within a Socialist society, and they would disappear as assuredly as the state would.
The only reason jew-hatred isn't the norm on the Left is because jewish intellectuals who were already Leftists wanted to try and carve out jews from the Marxist narrative. They wanted to secularize it more, and they saw Zionism as an explicit form of Progressive Nationalism. After the Holocaust, they kept trying to repeat that there wasn't anything within Socialism that supported jew-hatred, and that somehow jew-hatred was "rightist/conservative/reactionary. This effectively amounts to the earliest form of Holocaust Denial.
Where everything started to go wrong was when despite the Zionist movement have succeeded in foemen ting the state of Israel, instead of allying with the Soviet Union, and becoming a full Socialist state, the Orthodox jews that the Zionists had allied with rejected atheistic Socialism and allied themselves with the US. The Socialists and Communists never forgave them, and as the Left has moved slowly away from "racialist policies are exclusively right-wing" we see the inevitable re-emergence of jew-hatred among the Left, which was always the previous norm.
Jew hate has been around since the Romans, what the Nazis pioneered was racialized Jew hate. Even the premise of the Inquisition was that ethnic Jews were claiming to be Catholics while secretly practicing Judaism, and Torquemada himself had Jewish ancestry.
Marxism is opposed to Jewish culture, not Jews as an ethnicity, as like Christians before them Marxists just wanted Jews to abandon their traditions and convert to the universal faith.
I can tell you with near certainty that almost every "radical leftist" in the US is just a shitlib who's pissed off that following the instructions of their parents and teachers merely lead them to being baristas with college degrees and assloads of debt. All they really want is a bureaucracy several times larger so they can be petty tyrants too, and if or when they finally get that the "radical" LARPing will vanish as quickly as the anti-war movement vanished once Obama was sworn in.
Every ounce of vitriol they spew towards "liberals" and "reformists" is nothing more than envy.

The plebs will forget. The TV man will order them to.
Stopped by my grandmother's. Canadian MSM was blaring "Kamala good" non-stop.

They will fall in line with the next patch update. They always do
