在过去的一年里，卡玛拉·哈里斯几乎没有向选民提供任何具体的计划，来说明她将如何在一个又一个唐纳德·特朗普的任期之后重塑渴望变革的民主党。她甚至未能让曾经支持她的人重新考虑是否支持她。
Harris has offered voters almost nothing in the way of specifics about how she would remake a Democratic Party hungry for change after another term of Donald Trump. Kamala Harris has kept the door open to running for president again in 2028. What she failed to do over the past year, even one-time supporters and allies of the former vice president say, is give voters a reason to reconsider her if she does.
根据对加州及全国近20位民主党捐赠者和策略师的采访，这对她来说是一个重新定义自己的机会，但最终却被浪费了。
For Harris, according to interviews with nearly 20 Democratic Party donors and strategists in California and across the country, it was a missed opportunity to redefine herself — and ultimately a wasted year.
‘她彻底搞砸了，’曾担任巴拉克·奥巴马2008年和2012年竞选活动主要邮件策略师的道格·赫尔曼说。
“She totally blew it,” said Doug Herman, who was a lead mail strategist for Barack Obama’s 2008 and 2012 campaigns. “She hasn’t gotten into the mix.”
哈里斯没有参与任何关于如何扩大自己吸引力的讨论，对于那些曾经拒绝她的选民，她依然保持沉默，对媒体的态度也一如既往地谨慎，更倾向于在友好的观众面前露面，有时甚至因为完全拒绝新闻机构的采访而受到批评。
Harris has offered voters almost nothing in the way of specifics about how she would remake a Democratic Party hungry for change after another term of Donald Trump. She hasn’t spoken to how she would expand her own appeal to the voters who rejected her and she remains as reticent of media as ever, continuing to favor appearances before friendly audiences and at times drawing fire for shutting out news organizations altogether.
她完全回避了正在困扰民主党的意识形态内斗，而在选民和捐赠者要求与过去决裂的当下，她的行为更像是一个党内的老前辈。
She has entirely sidestepped the ideological civil war consuming the Democrats and has acted more like a party elder at a time when voters and donors are demanding a break with the past.
