Harris represents the kind of empty, tokenistic brand of identity politics that this establishment uses to give its major figures political cover.
There is someone who is both a woman of color and an actual progressive. Green Party candidate Howie Hawkins picked longtime grassroots activist Angela Walker as his running mate. Democrats will tell us that we'd be "throwing away our vote" by casting our ballot for the Hawkins/Walker ticket. But now that two major parties compete with each other on the far right of the political spectrum, it's time that we give up on the Democratic Party en masse and prove them wrong.
