My biggest problem with her as the nominee is that would signal to the country that the backlash towards Trump is really more cultural than anything else and such would only make our polarization worse. I also don’t view her as a candidate of change; she’s an establishment candidate wrapped up in a young woman of color. She’s not inspiring at least to me and her personality is not one I look for in a presidential candidate. She’s too warm and bubbly.

Anyone who supports her is an establishment Democratic hack.

I mean, it is though. People aren't mad at the economy. Sure people think corporations are too powerful and health care sucks but most people approve of Trump on economics.

I think Trump is poor on economics myself.

Well, this thread is a total catastrophe.

She’s not my first choice by any means, but the amount of hatred for her in this thread is truly amazing. Then again, that’s what female candidates always do to Atlas.

A lot of these users like Elizabeth Warren so it isn't purely a female thing. It's a far left bubble thing. They're radicals with little understanding of fundamental economics.

And that’s the problem I have with today’s politics and the corporate status quo in general and until people begin to realize to realize Trump is a symptom not the cause of our problems, we’re just going to continue down the path we are on.

I can’t speak for others but if anything my opposition for Harris is cultural and corporate based. Outside of criminal justice, she has little record on economics prior to arriving in the Senate, so there’s not much to attack her on but not much to trust her either. I’m fine with Elizabeth Warren in terms of policy but not sure how that makes me a radical unless you think Warren is a radical.

Kamala Harris’s town hall started off ok but she bombed the question on how she’d debate Trump. The substance of her answer to the girl on DACA was not bad per se but was a bit log. And she dodged the question on her record. I also don’t like how she answered the question on the wall, however. I do like how she answered the college question but why did she use the phrase “debt free”? That’s right from the Clinton playbook but to be fair, simply free in state tuition won’t really help a current college student. I of course hate her answer on guns on substance but that’s kind of expected. That aside, she didn’t do a good job keeping her answer’s short (and this was a common theme throughout the night). I really don’t like her answer to the Afghanistan question either and gave me a strong impression that she’s Take the bait. The rest of the town hall wasn’t bad though.

I entered tonight with serious reservations about Kamala Harris and this town hall did not change that. She’s too much of the Resistance candidate for me plain and simple.

I'm not the biggest Kamala Harris fan by any means but I actually think her healthcare plan is feasible and arguably the best one yet among 2020 Dems. I really like the longer implementation window.

Locking as candidate appears to have dropped out.
