@kentwillard What I think yesterday suggests is that Kamala’s campaign thinks swing voters are people frustrated about the cost of living including especially housing, groceries, and child-rearing, who think abuse of corporate power is part of the problem, and who want an active interventionist state to address these issues. 1/

@kentwillard If she thought these ideas would only please “lefties” already firmly in her pocket, I doubt she’d have risked alienating “centrists” (who do not in fact constitute the center of mass of the broad public, they steal that intuition for the conventional views of a small professional establishment), who hate them. She had to make judgments about what swing voters want, and her judgment is they are not remotely with the misnamed center. /fin
