I was with you for a bit. But I disagree on a few points:

• I don’t think she was dragged down as much by Biden’s reluctance to drop out so much as her failure to differentiate herself from him. You could make an argument that Biden’s late exit and the lack of a primary worked against her. She also became known early on in his administration for being difficult to work with, but this might not have weighed heavily on the minds of a disengaged electorate.
• The “woke left” is basically ad hominem at this point. It’s a sort of shibboleth that right leaning voters understand but most left wingers and centrists tune out because it has been overused, sort of like “socialist” and “communist” before that. To be sure, there are irritating and unrealistic social justice warriors, but they are actually a minority and overrepresented in media.
• Gaza is a genocide. Don’t take it from me, take it from the ICC, the UN, various scholars, and many dispassionate third party observers. Not sure what you mean here, but in my opinion, genocide is not something to compromise on for the greater good. Kamala would have been better on this issue than Donald Trump, but this is a huge miscalculation by the people advising her.
• Denunciation of the far right is consistently a problem for Democratic leadership, with a few exceptions.

Democrats do need to realise that elections but particularly presidential elections are a gut check. People vote for the president that leads boldly and fearlessly. Someone who has conviction and doesn’t seem to deliver messaging that has been pre-planned. When Trump was shown to be inaccurate during the campaign, people liked him more because he appeared to be speaking extemporaneously.
