However I would take what is part of a Justice Democrat or Bernie Sanders' platform and make that the Democratic Party platform. As far as to what is important to me it remains policy over the identity of the candidate. It really doesn't matter much who the face of it is.

I just don't know if that alone is enough to win as white men make up only about 31% of the US population even though they are over-represented in Congress. Hillary Clinton won the popular vote even though she had a high unfavorable rating which is probably a factor as to why Trump won the electoral college but sexism did play a factor there. Harris didn't do well in the primaries so I don't think she was the best to take on Trump especially when she didn't distance herself much from Biden when many voters didn't want another Biden-Trump matchup but she did well considering how bad Biden was polling and the country was still split along the same lines as the last 3 elections. I think we need to ditch conventional wisdom to an extent if we are able to win again with Obama-like landslides. When he ran in the primaries he was compared to McGovern.
