I often forget that she is the Vice President.

I'm no KHiver, but most Vice Presidents are forgettable, that is the point of the Vice Presidency.

The 5 previous Democratic VPs (LBJ, Humphrey, Mondale, Gore, and Biden) were all nominated for President, so lets not act like the position doesn't matter.

You still don't hear from them much while they are just Vice President and not a presidential candidate. LBJ hated the role and knew how ineffectual it actually was.

LBJ obviously gave up being Senate Majority leader for some reason.

As for Harris, she actually has more to do than most VPs. The only 2 VPs to break her 23 tie breaking votes were 2 term VPs. And Biden managed a full 2 terms without a single tie breaking vote.
