I have been writing about and reporting on this primary since the 2018 midterms. I first proposed @KamalaHarris as a top tier 2020 candidate in January 2017. Forcing her out of the race now is a huge error. Harris is the sole progressive who also lures centrists. Dems need that.
The reason Harris hasn't gained traction despite churning out policy every week--including policy no one else has--and being one of only two candidates, along with Warren, centering women--is because the Dem base, women and POC, has ignored her for Biden. Those are the stats.
This is a tale as old as this country: Can we elect a woman? Can we elect a black woman? Of course we can--but we have to WANT to do so.
This race began as the most diverse in history by gender and race. And now the top tier is three white guys and one white woman.

Biden and Bernie can't even be two-term presidents so people who keep claiming one of them should be the nominee might want to read some history about what happens to a party after one term presidencies. And no we don't just slot the VP. This is a democracy--we vote every 4yrs.
