At the same time, I think she tried too hard to appeal to the lower working class. It just comes across as too much of a hard sell. My eyes rolled and my mind tuned out when she went onto that blitz of "Kamala is for you" LOL~
I also found her Gaza comment to be eye-rolling. Try as she or Harris might, there is no denying or escaping any of the responsibility that the current gov, of which Harris is a crucial part of, has failed Gaza. Harris may well be working her hardest to prevent any further tragedies in Gaza, and may well haved worked her a$$ off to prevent them in the first place. But none of that changed the outcome in Gaza. Trying to spin that failure any other way just seemed like a poor strategy to me.
I agree with this as well. AOC needs to expand her public support among the centralists and right of center if she has any ambitions to shoot for something higher than her House of Representatives seat.

The counter point to Gaza, does the average American care? I don't feel like it rings as hard as the Russia/Ukraine conflict. Gaza won't matter to most Americans until it really causes some external conflicts that would halt shipping
