    The idea that Kamala Harris, a prosecutor from the Bay Area, was ever somehow the most obvious natural fit for Southern black voters was always so reductive and stupid, especially when she's running against the closest confidant and partner of the first black president

        Obama initially wasn't a "natural fit" for these voters either, but he was a community organizer, fluent in the vernacular of the black church, and had Michelle. Let's just say that Kamala's spouse, Douglas C. Emhoff, doesn't provide the same kind of political resources

        Biden at 50% among non-whites should really bust the elite-driven myth about Dem voters being overly fixated on identity. (It’s the journalists/operatives who are actually fixated) (Also, Kamala continues to have greater support among whites than non-whites which is telling) pic.twitter.com/Unu2Ukmsj2

        I’m a black journalist in South Carolina who has coveted politics here the past two decades and can definitively say Harris has a lot of fans here. At this stage in ‘08, Clinton was way ahead with black leaders here as well. It’s too soon to say which way this will swing.

        The other aspect is there is no need or ability to maintain a coherent moral approach when all that matters are categories which are morally and ideologically neutral but which are used to cover a variety of people and values. Also why the ID left is as much reactionary+illiberal

        I guess I am that reductive and stupid. And so are Harris’ campaign advisers because they are pushing a SC to Super Tuesday strategy based on her appeal to Southern Black voters. If they are wrong, she’s screwed.

        She has zero chance with women outside of a couple of big urban bubbles. Women dislike her viscerally.
