Something tells me she won't be a particularly strong candidate or a shoe in in 2024 either, even as an incumbent VP. She might have a higher level of institutional support but I think a lot of her weaknesses in terms of not really appealing to any segment of the party will still be present.

I have little issue with Harris other than I thought her debate moment when she bereded Biden in a debate was grandstanding and it looked like she had rehearsed the moment and it wasn't authentic. I also think there's a few shady details about her past. Overall, I don't find these things and great reason to dislike her to the point of flat out hating her. Sure there are other candidates I like better but I can live with Harris.

Funny; think of all these controversial politicians: Kamala Harris, Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Rashida Talib, and Ayanna Pressley. What do they have in common? They're women, they aren't Caucasian, and they have non traditional names. Is it really a big surprise that a large contingency in this country doesn't like(or just flat out hates) any of these 5 and even finds them offensive?


I mean to be fair a lot of the people who like the squad hate Harris and many of those who hate Harris hate the fact that she weaponizes her identity to cover up a career spent upholding an institutionally racist system. Yes, maybe from some quarters she does come in for unfair criticism but personally I dislike her for the many of the same reasons I dislike Andrew Cuomo, Rahm Emanuel, Gavin Newsome, Michael Bloomberg, etc.

The racism and sexism in this thread is doing a LOT. Especially the notion that basically any woman candidate "would be another Hillary"

Nobody ing said "any women candidate." They said Harris. Jesus Christ
