Elizabeth is more than prepared to take the debate stage with Trump. She was last evening's standout. She never waits for the race question because she understands how race informs every form of public policy.
I agree with this, but she needs to come harder for me. What made folks like Yang and even Tulsi stand out is their stances on policies that no one else is focusing on, like UBI, or foreign policy. People like that. Kamala fucked up in the 1st debate because she let a Jewish white woman outflank her on race issues when she brought up reparations, and derailed it to bullshit about busing, and she never really recovered from Tulsi pulling her card about her record.
Liz needs to pick up where they left off, focus on those niche specific policies like redlining, etc, and she might have a fighting chance. She's fortunate that the others are weak on race issues and kinda don't wanna touch that (sans Steyer maybe), even Bernie.
