Norman Solomon had a lot more to say on the podcast I heard this morning,
although it came down to the same thing basically.
Joint Statement on Senator Kamala Harris for VP
By RootsAction and PDA, Reader Supported News

As we saw during her own presidential campaign, Kamala Harris is a political
weather vane. First she was for Medicare for All, then she wasn't.
She failed for years to hold police accountable for gross misconduct in
California, then touted her commitment to police accountability in the wake
of George Floyd's murder. While her penchant for taking positions broadly
palatable to the corporate donor class raises concerns about her dedication
to progressive principles, her habit of aligning her stance with the
prevailing political winds gives us some hope.
We will fight every day to hold Vice President Harris to the higher ideals
she often espouses, and make sure those winds blow decisively in the
direction of a Green New Deal, Medicare for All, and a level playing field
for working families everywhere.
