That was 4 years before she, you know, was vice president for 4 years. That tends to provide valuable experience.
I'm not gonna pretend I liked her but she wasn't a bad candidate to begin a campaign with. But then she ran to the right in an insane way
Polished turds are just shiny turds. She was always unlikable, people only latched on to her because of the despair Biden had the party in before he dropped out. It was a simple overcorrection in sentiment that wasted away from her failure to inspire anything, just like she failed in 2020. No amount of on the job experience teaches the lessons she failed to learn twice.
There were some things she did early in the primary that kind of inspired me tbh. I really liked the Walz VP pick, especially when it looked like she was going to pick a more conservative Dem like Shapiro the Zionist or Mark Kelly. She also had a more youthful energy to contrast against Biden's clearly aging and tired energy during his campaign. But then they squandered it by listening to the consultants and focus groups trying to triangulate to get Haley Republicans or whatever they were trying to do.
If you think even 50% of her campaign decision making reflected her personal politics you are mistaken about how the DNC operates.
As I said, on paper she was a fine candidate to start a campaign with. She could have easily converted a win if the party as a whole hadn't totally rejected anything progressive long before she took to the campaign trail.
People forget that after you get elected you still have to collaborate with Congress. Presidential candidates are absolutely beholden to the will of the DNC, and their party platform. They will not hesitate to torpedo a presidency as retaliation for failing to toe the company line
