voters, extremely shy from Hillary's loss, were afraid that [Kamala] was too Black

Yes because if Hillary's loss indicated anything it's that a black person can't win. This is definitely a coherent analysis.

They were so triggered by her loss in the 2016 general they forgot all about her loss in the 2008 primary

I feel that only the democratic party gives half a fuck about "middle [America]" and the people who are waffling between the two candidates. I'm sure you could get a fuck ton of votes doing something, anything popular instead of talking about bullshit Marvel slop quotes to try and convince someone whose high fructose corn syrup coated neurons couldn't conjure a coherent ideology any faster than infinite monkies could.

It's a dogshit analysis.

Democratic party analysts, either because they're incompetent or because they're always looking for ways to triangulate to the right (or possibly both) imagine that anyone who is not a loyal member and consistent voter of either party exists precisely in the center of the Overton window.
