    Keyboard warriors would be the first group of humans to hate Harris and not know why they do because they don't have the self awareness to realize their inherent misogyny and/or racism tainting their perception of Harris.

    and then label anyone who disagrees a racist or misogynistic, as usual. you need to learn some people just disagree. I already said Michelle Obama would have a better chance but she isn't running

    Not better, but more popular there is a difference.

    This takes the news cycle away from Trump and his boo boo - and back to the Dems who need it, Harris will be rising in the polls I am certain.

    Anyone who hates Harris relative to other Democrat politicians that isn't from a leftist perspective that she was a prosecutor who convicted low level drug offenses probably doesn't know why they hate her besides the traits that are going to be muddied by racial and sexist biases. Such as someone not being charismatic or "sounds whiny". Those perceptions are based in those deep seeded biases in most cases.


    Like if a conservative doesn't like Harris just because she holds Democrat policy positions they disagree with no I'm not going to accuse them of misogyny or racism.

    If some conservative rants about how Harris the Democrat candidate that will install communism, it at least is just from a perspective of hating the Democrat party. But these very vague reasons that most of you hate her relative to even someone like Biden or any other milquetoast Democrat is probably due to some type of deep seed sexism and or racism.

    But where did I say anything about her voice? You're just making things up as usual with someone who disagrees. Her record in California has a prosecutor is exactly why I don't like her. Plus the fact she tried to come off as having a tough life when in actuality grew up very wealthy, which doesn't come off as honest at all. Those things matter to people and I have heard it about her for a while.

    All that matters is getting the 80% liberal young VOTE out to the polls., they alone outnumber everyone else......and are HARD CORE left.

    Got to appeal to them with the VP pick and this will kill the White people old party. Maybe AOC....or Buttigeg.

    The young voters are also good with social media so her old record will be brought up more than ever before, whereas trump's is already known and his presidency lived through already. I could see a sit out if the VP pick is not a good one provided kamala is the pick

    His record is HATED, and it needs to be hammered home as people constantly forget how horrible he was/is....

    She can call out his lies......directly in the debate, and speak well.

    Do you think the majority of people in this thread memming about Harris are ardent criminal justice reform people?

    With grifters like RDK, understand this. The farther they are away from the seat of major political offices like US senator or presidency, the more willing he will be to express some populist sentiments like criminal justice reform just from the comfort of his position. Trust me on this. The closer RFK would hypothetically become a viable candidate for a major US political office the more he will buy into the status quo.

    Classic. You can’t think a woman or poc lacks charisma or is unlikeable because they lack charisma or are unlikeable.

    It’s, of course, due to some sort of bigotry.

    I absolutely think if Harris was a white male with the same rhetorical acumen you wouldn't complain about her charisma neither would 90% of the type of people who meme about Harris.

    Harris has generic milquetoast Democrat charisma. It's nothing more than that and when people make it out to be more than that then yes I assume there is some latent misogyny and racism at play. Against a fascist, milquetoast mid charisma Democrat is enough.

    It just feels like she is trying to be someone who the staff and players are telling her be instead of just being herself. It is a lack of authenticity.

    The benefit of being the candidate and running against Trump is that authenticity is the most important thing. No matter how "odd" she may be when authentic, it probably won't be a red flag for voters already looking to not vote for Trump.

    The toughest thing for Harris will to be steadfast and come off as genuine. Right now she seems like what she does most of the time is say what she thinks polls the best and is the right thing to say. She has been that way for a long time. She has been speaking a lot on the abortion issue and seems to come across more genuine on that issue. If she can let that bleed into the rest of the Democratic agenda, she'll be okay. If not, it will be very tough road for her.

    Her VP options are numerous.

    One thing that will likely work in her favor is that the sexist attacks we've already seen against her won't play well with the majority of the female voters. She also does decently connecting with younger voters. She doesn't excite or really energize too many groups though. But the anti-Trump sentiment can do that. Another good thing for her financing is that she knows how to play to the big donors. But that's also part of the problem with her apparent lack of sincerity.

    The abortion issue has radicalized the woman bloc to a degree not seen before.

    I'm praying the GOP does attack ads saying she slept her way into power. It would be a home run for Democrats. I hope the RNC media machine is staffed by gen z and millennial terminally online male staffers who think this type of memming works on everyone
